i haven't seen any comments on the sound quality and sonic qualities of the new 2013 boots? any thoughts from the audiophiles out there....??
the best sounding boots IMO are the 2003. the 2008 are the WORST, my DC show sounds completely bricked and compressed to the max...more recent ones have sounded decent but nothing like the old days.
the show I bought from 2011 on live-downloads, Roger Daultry - Tommy tour, sounds amazing and it was released in 2 days from the show date. i was at the show and it captures it perfectly. clean and clear....and still VERY live.
I've been extremely disappointed with the PJ live capture's of late.
this is partly why, folks who were "not there" have no frame of reference listening back to the show on CD since it usually doesn't remotely capture the feel and energy of the show. however, i can listen to state college 2003 and I'm blown away with how good it sounds and how it puts me back there....i listen to any of the Philly 2009 boots and they don't even come close....Friday night was one of the best shows ever for me and i listen to the boot and its depressing (performance aside), i think a lot has to do with the drum capture and the vocals....but mostly the drums and overall low end....just lacking in the extreme....
ok, sorry to rant but really wanted to know what you all thought...hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

You mention the drums as a part of the problem. To me it is the bass.
Alot of times when I think hey this is a very cool version, might be the best I have, it turns out
that Jeff is more in front of the mix, or the bass just sounds thicker than it does on other versions.
