Folks

I'd love some thoughts on the best bootlegs out there? I have a bunch but mostly from shows I've seen, so would love some pointers on great gigs that are worth downloading.

Muchas gracias.

    My favorites are also shows that I have attended, such as the Spectrum dates and the Camden shows in '09. But my favorite bootleg show that I was not in attendance would have to be State College PA; it was three discs long and it was just an amazing show. I do not recall the year, but it was in the early part of the decade, and it had alot to do with me becoming a huge fan.

    Mexico 2 2003 (Insane crowd participation)
    Pink Pop 92 (Rockin in the Free World is SICK)
    Drop in the Park (Porch is undescribable)
    I assume you have Atlanta 94'

    all of those
    especially Verona Italy
    and of course the 92 shows


    the 2000 tour boots were great, some of my favourites. Katowice, Poland was one.
    London as well. Nurnburg, Germany. Sans Sebastian, Spain. Austria.

    Seattle, Washington - July 22nd 1998 - love it. the version of Faithfull is one of my favourites ever. Second only to the studio version.

    Melbourne 95 shows
    Japan shows too

    here's a thread that had LOTS of good suggestions, from when I was starting to listen to bootlegs

    I liked MSG night 1 in 2003. The Live at the Garden show. But the 2nd show was good too. MSG shows are ALWAYS excellent. Ive been to all but 1 MSG show since 1998 night 2.

    The Jones Beach shows in 2000 were good IMO too.
