    i can tell you right now ... the 'roo boot is supremely better, sound wise, than anything from 2000.
    Agreed. However, I do think next time (knock on wood there will always be a next time) they should maybe go with someone else.

    Bonnaroo sounds great, so do some of the others, but WPB was my second show ever and someone dropped the ball on that one. I listen to it every day, not sorry I bought it, I just really wish there had been a pro at the wheel on that one. It was special to me and it sounds- at times, in places, like... well... an amateur recorded it.

    Compared to WPB, the rest of them sound great. I bought 6 of them.

    I've only heard the first WPB CD, and that show is really hard to listen to. I don't care for the mix at all! It took me two days just to get through one disc!!

    I struggle to hear Mike's solos and there are times when matt's singing sounds louder than eddie. It did seem to get a little bit better as the cd went on though..I'm hoping disc 2 is better. The sad thing is that I'll probablly end up putting the audience recording in my ipod. I also have Tampa, but am not really in a hurry to hear it...please tell me it sounds better.

    does it sound as bad as the live at the gorge box? i wanted to like that set becos it had stellar shows and a great setlist, but man the sound was painfully thin.
    I think the gorge box sounds o.k. but if you want me to make a comparison i think the columbia show sounds worse. i.e. all night,should be called all base. given 2 fly,about 70% of the cd's are just mixed really bad. I mean the show sounded fkn killer i was there. this was my 6th show and i must say it was the best one yet.the set list, the crowd the energy was just epic.

    Don't have WPB, so far only Tampa and Bonnaroo.

    Tampa is not bad, I think Bonnaroo sounds great.

    There are SO many people on this thread that seem to come on here for the SOLE purpose of complaining about people that are complaining on this thread!!! When did this forum turn into an Abbott & Costello bit. Shut the fuck up about it already. The simple fact that there are a dozen threads going at ANY given minute of EVERY single day about these boots means somebody fucked up. It's not fucking brain surgery here. If you want to go circle-jerk the band and tell them how much you love the new boots, and how "Bugs", and ".", and "Arc" are just misunderstood, and are collectively some of their finest work, then you should really get going and hop on that plane for Seattle.

    I got my WPB and had no problems loading it onto my ipod and as for the sound quality,it's not that bad. After all it is called bootleg..........

    No.

    Some pieces of art aren't "hit singles." But the vocal gymnastics Ed does in Arc are pretty fuckin' impressive. It's a great song to hear at random when you're sitting on a the beach on a cloudless night, listening to the waves and looking at the stars. It just makes you feel so ... I don't know ... small in the scope of the universe.

    Do I put on Riot Act and immediately fast forward to Arc everytime? Of course not. Do I appreciate what Ed is doing there? Abso-fucking-lutely.

    I love the 2008 boots. The shows were sick and the boots sound great to me.
    My first PJ show to witness was at Bonnaroo. How is that for lucky?

    I went to both MSG's and I enjoyed both shows tremendously. With these boots its the music I remember loving the most. The crowd added to it, but not hearing the crowd overpowering the actual music is ok with me. I know how crazy we were its ok if you don't hear it too much. I mean Ed's voice is kind over powering but don't we all love Ed's voice? IMO these boots are good.. sound is fine with me.
