I think (hope) that bootlegs for everything after September 20th are a given... the Europe mini tour and the other pre-album release North American dates, I'm not so sure. I would hope they'd record them and maybe just release them once the album is out, but who knows...
Kinda hope the Mini Europe tour too get's that Official Bootleg CD/Flac/MP3 treatment. There wasn't one for '07. Another '09 miss for them would be weird.
I as well am hoping for the official boots. I don't see why they wouldn't do this for the mini tour. The only thing I can see them doing is delay the release of any boots from concerts before Backspacer is officially released. Though we've heard "The Fixer" and "Got Some", it wouldn't surprise me if they debut more new stuff with the whole band during those shows. I wouldn't blame them if they chose to delay the boots from any concerts that feature new material before the album drops. I ultimately think we'll get boots from these shows, there's really no reason for them not to release them eventually.
