Hey, I have 4 bootleg credits and I don't know which shows I should get. I have all the shows I went to and have all the Chicago ones and Sao Paulo, Brazil that was just put up but if I could get some suggestions from the group it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill

    For future use if you wish. For what it's worth, I (and a couple other members of the board) have reviewed around 300 PJ bootleg reviews at least, and have listened to god knows how many more. You can find a link to that website with reviews of bootlegs and our favorite shows in my signature. It's hard to narrow it down to one bootleg. Picking one with a setlist you like is a good start, but only a start. Do you care more about sound quality of the boot, crowd volume levels, Ed's vocals, or if the performance doesn't have many errors? Or, are you just looking for an all around great bootleg? I can tell you I think going for a 2008 or 2009 boot would be a mistake since the audio mix is nowhere near as good as 2011-2014. Also, most folks are only going to recommend shows they have been to and ones with a lot of rarities (which is fine), but may not necessarily be what you are actually looking for.

    Here are some awesome sounding bootlegs, good performances all around, and that are just all around some of the best I have heard: Lima 2011, Porto Alegre 2011, Winnipeg 2011, Ottawa 2011, Pittsburgh 2013, Oklahoma City 2013, Philly 1 2013, St Louis 2014, Detroit 2014, and Vienna 2014. Tulsa 14 deserves a honorable mention.

    Any questions, I am happy to answer. I love talking bootlegs.
