Just realized I have an unused download code! Here's what I have so far from the official boots 2008-13.

2012: Amst 1 & 2, Berlin 1 & 2

2011: Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto 1 & 2, Buenos Aires, San Jose

2010: Cleveland 5-9-10, MSG 1 & 2, Berlin

2009: Chi 8-24-09, Spectrum 1-4

2008: DC, MSG 1 & 2

I was thinking about Hartford '10, Atlanta '12 or Oslo '12 based on what I read in previous threads but would love to hear what you guys think are other exceptional boots from this era. Thanks!!

    These are the top 2 boots from each of those tours, in my humble opinion. Based on performance and setlist flow (not if rarities were played). I don't like the 2008 boots, so unfortunately I cannot fully recommend them. VA 2008 is quite solid though.

    2009- LA 2 (easily the best boot of 2009), Auckland
    2010- Lisbon, Hartford
    2011- Lima, Winnipeg
    2012- Atlanta, Copenhagen

    The three you were thinking about are very very good choices. Copenhagen just barely edges out Oslo for me.
    2008: Bonnaroo
    2010: Bristow
    2012: Atlanta
    2013: Charlottesville, Charlotte
    2014: Cincinnati
    2016: Greenville, Hampton, Raleigh (cancelled), Columbia, Lexington

    Here are some of the boots that I would recommend based on overall quality of the boot, performance, and set list flow. I would try and stay away from 2008 as much as possible if you're only buying one - those are easily the worst in terms of quality from the boots out them all.

    2013 - Buenos Aires
    2012 - Atlanta, Copenhagen
    2011 - Lima, Hamilton
    2010 - Kansas City, Lisbon, Hartford
    2009 - London 2, LA 3
    2008 - Hartford (easily the best boot of this year), Bonnaroo

    On a side note: I don't know if you can use your download code for it or not, or if you have it already - but I would definitely consider getting the Vault #2 boot above any of the mentioned boots above. It's easily one of my favorite boots and in my top 5. Can't wait to listen to Vault #3, just haven't had the time.
    Bristow, VA - 5.13.10
    East Troy, WI - 9.3.11
    East Troy, WI - 9.4.11
    Atlanta, GA - 9.22.12
    Las Vegas, NV - 10.31.12 (EV)
    Las Vegas, NV - 11.1.12 (EV)
    Chicago, IL - 7.19.13
    Dallas, TX - 11.15.13
    Oklahoma City, OK - 11.16.13
    Seattle, WA - 12.6.13
    Lincoln, NE - 10.9.14
    Moline, IL - 10.17.14
    St. Paul, MN - 10.19.14
    Milwaukee, WI - 10.20.14
    New York, NY - 5.1.16
    New York, NY - 5.2.16
    Boston, MA - 8.5.16
    Boston, MA - 8.7.16
    Chicago, IL - 8.20.16

    Agreed. Its the same price as the regular boots so theres no reason why you shouldnt be able to use it. Its a great show.

    You already have the great ones, except Boston-10. It is a must-have. Instant classic.

    Other than that, I would experiment with Newark-10.
    What's your part, who you are?

    2013: Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires
    2014: Milano, Trieste, Vienna, Berlin

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I didn't know about Lima 2011, may give that a try. Seems there's some disagreement about LA2 vs LA3 2009... eventually I will check them both out. I also may try Berlin 2009 as Berlin has a special place in my heart and it seems the shows there are always good. Thanks again. And I welcome any additional recs!
