Bootleg recommendation please

ladydocNYC

Just realized I have an unused download code! Here's what I have so far from the official boots 2008-13.

2012: Amst 1 & 2, Berlin 1 & 2

2011: Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto 1 & 2, Buenos Aires, San Jose

2010: Cleveland 5-9-10, MSG 1 & 2, Berlin

2009: Chi 8-24-09, Spectrum 1-4

2008: DC, MSG 1 & 2

I was thinking about Hartford '10, Atlanta '12 or Oslo '12 based on what I read in previous threads but would love to hear what you guys think are other exceptional boots from this era. Thanks!!

These are the top 2 boots from each of those tours, in my humble opinion. Based on performance and setlist flow (not if rarities were played). I don't like the 2008 boots, so unfortunately I cannot fully recommend them. VA 2008 is quite solid though.

2009- LA 2 (easily the best boot of 2009), Auckland
2010- Lisbon, Hartford
2011- Lima, Winnipeg
2012- Atlanta, Copenhagen

The three you were thinking about are very very good choices. Copenhagen just barely edges out Oslo for me.

Here are some of the boots that I would recommend based on overall quality of the boot, performance, and set list flow. I would try and stay away from 2008 as much as possible if you're only buying one - those are easily the worst in terms of quality from the boots out them all.

2013 - Buenos Aires
2012 - Atlanta, Copenhagen
2011 - Lima, Hamilton
2010 - Kansas City, Lisbon, Hartford
2009 - London 2, LA 3
2008 - Hartford (easily the best boot of this year), Bonnaroo

On a side note: I don't know if you can use your download code for it or not, or if you have it already - but I would definitely consider getting the Vault #2 boot above any of the mentioned boots above. It's easily one of my favorite boots and in my top 5. Can't wait to listen to Vault #3, just haven't had the time.

Agreed. Its the same price as the regular boots so theres no reason why you shouldnt be able to use it. Its a great show.

Spectrum #3 is the best setlist/show ever.

I was there! And I have the boot!!

You already have the great ones, except Boston-10. It is a must-have. Instant classic.

Other than that, I would experiment with Newark-10.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I didn't know about Lima 2011, may give that a try. Seems there's some disagreement about LA2 vs LA3 2009... eventually I will check them both out. I also may try Berlin 2009 as Berlin has a special place in my heart and it seems the shows there are always good. Thanks again. And I welcome any additional recs!

Either Manchester 2012 shows. Because I was there.
