2009 LA Shows

How do these boots sound? I have the 4 Philly shows, and while I'm not crazy about them, I'm glad I have them. Are the 4 LA shows worth listening to? I see some nice reviews of the 10/7/09 show at least.

I think the sound quality of the LA shows are much better than Philly and I think the LA shows are overall a little better than Philly. When I'm listening to boots I always reach for the LA shows before the Philly ones…..

The Gibson Ampitheatre in 09 was one of the best sounding shows I ever experienced. I was there 10/7 hopped over to San Diego on 9th and there was no comparison in sound. LA was killer.

It was only yesterday that I put the 10-06 show on my MP3 player.
I did so to listen to Footsteps more closely on my way to work.
It is an exceptional version of Footsteps. Not because Eddie is in top form.
The vocals are about avarage and so is Eddie's hamonica part.
But Mick Ooooooooh man he really out played himself in comparison to other versions.
At least to my taste.
Getting a wonderfull Hunger strike after it makes for a great second enore even thought Once starts a bit shakey and is on the lower side of avarage. Alive is on the upper side of avarage with Eddie having very minor misses, but the solo is great with Jerry Cantrell.
Sometimes has some very nice moments from Matt.
Breakerfall was quite alright
A very nice Save you
Unemployable and Daughter were avarage with Eddie making the ending of daughter a bit different. I got the impression he wanted to let it go a little longer when the rest stopped.
Red mosquito was alright, but I have heard much better it is no match for the 2009 version they did in Christchurch.
