Torino 2006 The Go opener is amongst the best I've heard. Mike adds some interesting effects and Ed's vocals are quite strong. Even Matt too, just putting on an exceptional showing on the classic opener. Corduroy follows, the crowd eats it up. Towards the end of the solo, Mike and Matt are flat out on! That leads energetically into Animal where Ed's raspy vocals soar and Jeff's grooves shine. A solid Small Town calms us before we lead into the true heart of this main set. All this was a warmup.
As many know, this gig was made popular due to the band playing Avocado in its entirety, in proper track list order, and uninterrupted. Life Wasted is absolutely brilliant. The whole band is near perfection. Mike and Jeff are exceptionally good. WWS comes on hard after that, sounding ferocious. Comatose is a good version, Mike and Stone sound quite great with this mix. Severed Hand is tight but mostly an average play. Marker, however, is awesome and much better than many other versions. Parachutes is sublime, and Unemployable here is one of the better versions out there. Big Wave gets the live energy vibe back up. The ending of the song feels a bit more subdued than the usual fiery jam but it's still solid. Ed's vocals sound rich and warm for the verses in Gone, especially when complimented by Mike's atmospheric sounds. Wasted Reprise-Army Reserve is a smooth transition. Army is top notch, Ed's aggressive choruses sound just right. Come Back feels incredibly heartfelt and so sincere. Mikes solo captured me more than usual and Ed's vocals again are powerful. A great Inside Job brings the Avocado section to a close. The main set doesn't end there, the boys rip into DTE to get us going again. Matt adds a few different patterns and fills, excellent stuff. RVM is solid (a very small lyrical error by Ed but doesn't distract). The jam on RVM is very potent and impressive, Mike especially. That concludes the awesome main set.
Jeremy starts encore 1 with Ed and Matt putting on raw energy. Lukin-Betterman always feels weird to me. Black is a powerful take, the tags are especially nice. Not to mention the crowd's impressive singing after the band quits playing. Tremor Christ is a welcomed treat. While it's not as good as version in San Diego 2013, it's still one of the better versions out there. It's a tight performance but a little too fast. Alive ends the first encore. Blood then initiates the second encore, Ed's vocals sound like they are laced with nails. It's damn glorious. Even Flow makes a late show appearance to good effect. It's better to get it out of the mid main set. Matt's drumming on Baba sounds thunderous, good mixing. An elegant Indifference concludes the gig.
There are times where I would just rather listen to this performance than the studio version of Avocado. The band’s performance of the album in its entirely is impressive and a really tight showing. The emotions and energy from Avocado come alive when played in a live setting, and this boot captures that sense very well. Furthermore, there are several other highlights to the gig other than the Avocado section. Torino is a fantastic bootleg, and an essential one from 2006 in my opinion.

Listened to Phoenix 2013 during my 45 minute run. When I was done running I realized I wasn't even a third of the way done with the show. Lol. Kick ass set
A good audience record of Milan-14. The band sounds better than I remembered but sound problem with mike's guitar at the start of the show comes up again here as his solo part in Corduroy is barely heard. They fix it later and things roll fluently. The power and roar of the large crowd is felt at places but it isn't as amazing in this recording as it was heard in the stadium. Ed flops at a few places but his voice is strong overall and he's in good control of the large crowd. Very tight version of RVM. Proud to have seen PJ in San Siro and the boot reminds good memories.
What's your part, who you are?
