Hey there all. I know...not the most exciting topic but have two bootleg codes to use and wondered if anyone had any recommendations for good shows to look for with them. Thanks for the advice, I look forward to this discussion.

    It depends on what YOU are looking for in a bootleg. First, 9 out of 10 lovely members of this board will most likely recommend a bootleg based on one of two things; they either attended the show or just love the setlist. Neither of the two factors alone is a great way to recommend bootlegs. So, if you just want a rare setlist or one you like, go look through them on the tour link. ;)

    On the other hand, if you are looking for bootlegs that have the best sounding audio mix, a tight/almost error free performance, a setlist that has a good flow/creates a vibe, and at least solid crowd I would recommend the following:

    Sao Paulo 2011, both nights
    Lima 2011
    Porto Alegre 2011
    Winnipeg 2011
    Arras 2012
    Atlanta 2012
    Berlin 2 2012
    Copenhagen 2012
    Oslo 2012
    Pensacola 2012

    I would recommend you look at the setlists for these shows in the tour link and see which you like best. All are fitting for the criteria I mentioned above. The 2012 shows are my favorite. The audio mix is just perfect.

    Great choices here. Vic for the rare ones. I listened to BA 2011 for the first time yesterday and then again today. Crazy show with the most amazing crowd I've ever heard on a boot. It was a special show for sure.

    Thanks for the post and the responses! I was in the same boat - ultimately went with Buenos Aires and Lima 2011, as I already own a few of the other ones mentioned. You guys are awesome. 8-)
