Want to buy two 08 bootlegs, need suggestions!

vedderman

So far i had a chance to listen to two bootlegs: Tampa and Columbia. I liked Columbia a lot more because of the great setlist and also the boys were on fire. So i have to know from you which show on this tour do you suggest it's worth buying? Is MSG and Camden again that "overrated" like it was in '03?
What i am looking for is a show with great tight played songs, great energy from the crowd, and of course a nice setlist. Let's hear you.

MSG I close behind....but hell, they're all good, well the shows i've attended, anyway. so most definitely look over setlists and see what excites you!

mansfield 2 has such a good vibe. Last night of the tour Ed is funnily wasted.

If you actually want to hear Mike play, don't buy Tampa :-(

Otherwise, a 1 is a song played once, a 14 is a song played at every show.

The AVG uniqueness factor of the tour:

4.929 Hartford
5.577 Beacon
5.690 MSG 2
5.815 Camden2
5.821 Columbia
5.962 Mansfield 2
5.968 DC
6.000 MSG 1
6.240 Virginia Beach
6.280 WPB
6.500 Camden1
6.565 Tampa
6.640 Mansfield 1
6.885 Bonaroo

Factoring in total songs played plus shows' songs' uniqueness produced:

1 Hartford
2 Beacon
3 MSG 2
4 Columbia
5 Camden2
6 DC
6 Mansfield 2
8 MSG 1
9 Virginia Beach
10 WPB
11 Camden 1
12 Tampa
13 Bonaroo
14 Mansfield 1

Which has totally nothing to do with SOUND, MIXDOWN, VIBE, HOTNESS, ON FIRENESS or other intangibles.... just how unique the shows were vs one another.... So in another sense, if you get 'Roo, you have a lot of the songs that were played at every other show! Then you just need one more HOT one, like say -- MSG or Hartford. Pretty much like what everyone is tellin ya -- only backed up with some really messed-up inane stats!

I have Columbia, Bonnaroo, Camden 1, and MSG 1. Out of all 3 MSG 1 is by far my favorite because you can hear the crowd really well, singing along to every song. That is one of my favorite parts about bootlegs. So, I recommend MSG 1 based on what I have actually heard. However, that being said, Hartford had an awesome set list in my opinion... I'm thinking about getting the digital boot...
