Best 2009 boot thats available?

jamminpearls

I can't take it anymore i need to here a 2009 boot and since the philly shows are MIA what is the best boot? By setlist it looks like christchurch to me. Was hoping for people's opinions as to which to buy. So fire away please,ty Joe.

Actually...I'm curious about this as well. I've given up on the Philly boots (saw 2 of the 4 shows). I really would like to listen to some of the earlier 09 shows (pre-BS'er release). I'm particularly interested in hearing the BS'er Songs in their original keys (Got Some, The Fixer....(post release) GSMF). I got to hear these in Philly, but I believe they were a half step down...(sounded just as good...my curiousity is driving this desire)

I've heard awesome things about the Berlin show. I have the Portland show and I strongly suggest it to those who haven't heard it. The band seemed really loose/fun. Red Mosq. w/BH....fantastic.

I like Christchurch
LA3 and LA4 are great.
Also like Chicago 2, Brisbane, Melbourne and San Diego/
SLC has a nice set list.

london O2 is my favorite all-time boot, until philly comes out........next week

London O2 is also my favourite all time boot and first time they played "Supersonic" live.......

ed talks a little about how MJ would have been on the same stage a few months later and "release" really cooks to get things going....

totally worth the $800 flight to get there from toronto

LA4 is my fav, but thats partly because I was there.

The Aussie boot with Oceans mid-set is also an instant winner for me. And I was unfortunately not there!

Chicago 1 8/23/09 A lot of emotion from the band that night produced one hell of a show.

LA3's Hunger Strike with Chris Cornell was the best version i've EVER heard vocally - for Chris Cornell. He nailed it - and just a few years ago, he sounded AWFUL on it, when they did it together.

This is also the first version of Hunger Strike I've heard where Eddie actually sings his verse - the 2nd verse, and not the first verse.

Paul Andrews

The shows I went to and have from 2009:
Perth - has a great vibe - first night of aussie tour, Ed telling jokes/stories, in fine form. Breakerfall to open. (my hometown show)
LA3 - Temple Of The Dog, Gerry's solo on Alive
LA4 - Puddey's spongeworthy site list, Gerry on KOTJ
Melbourne - almost all of 10 played - great performance and 50K there.
Sydney - listen to Ed battle the Flu, Stone does Mankind

i love the Austin bootleg...yeah, shorter show...but they were ON.

I have listened to 2 boots - Berlin and Brisbane.

I went to Berlin so I should love it - but as I stated in another thread I found the mixing of Brisbane to be better and crisper. Especially Eddies vocals (and he's sounding good even if he just had the Flu) The only song I thought sounded "sub par" was Jeremy that never really took of - compared to Berlin which has a nice setlist but no songs stand out to me...

I think Unthought Known in Brisbane was excellent - and a nice talky intro from Ed. Also there is no GTF, Corduroy or Do The Evolution which could be nice for someone who owns a lot of bootlegs.

I'm biased because I was there, but San Diego was an awesome show. The second encore was great with Black leading into Better Man with a fade into Save it for Later followed by Little Wing and So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star with Eddie's story about working at a gas station and wanting a mohawk...I'm getting excited just thinking about it.
