    Just an update, I don't think I will keep posting reminders in this thread for new boot reviews for the new boots coming out. They will certainly continue to be written, but I wont update this thread. Maybe a bump every now and again though :)

    Thanks again guys for reading and following along. You make this worth while! Many more reviews to come.

    Thanks so much for writing the reviews! They are much appreciated!

    Thank you for sharing your reviews I have enjoyed reading them :)
    Which was your favourite Bdo set. At one point you said Melbourne but Perth and Adelaide were yet to be reviewed. Thanks

    2003 tour is now complete. It's been a long one, the last leg of 35 shows has taken me about 6 weeks. I plan to start on leg 2 of last years Lightning Bolt tour in a week or two as I haven't listened to that leg (or the BDO tour yet) but if anyone has any requests for reviews before I start those boots let me know and I'll try and fit them in!

    Just a well natured bump. Lots of reviews in their designated tours near the top left of the blog. Click the year for boot reviews of shows in that tour.

    We have close to 300 reviews for your convienence and use. 2013 boot reviews from Ian and myself are the ones I'm most proud of, and Brandon's coverage of Euro 12 in the 2012 section is spot on, if I may say so. Thanks for reading.

    A little bump never hurt anyone! Thanks again to all those visiting the site everyday. Hopefully my writing isn't too dry. I tend to prefer Ian and Brandon's style of critique and praises of boots. It's the political science major in me, 6 years worth makes your writing style a bit dry.

    Hey, anyone who is passionate and puts in the hard work for something they love, deserves a read! Love the work you guys do, even if I don't always agree.

    I've now completed leg 2 of last year's Fall tour, the reviews are up on the blog now. Both myself and Marcus have reviewed all of the Fall '13 tour now. Got Auckland '14 yesterday, hopefully will get the other 5 BDO boots in before I jet off for the Euro tour!

    This is the only full tour so far on the site that 2 of us have reviewed all the shows from that whole tour. It should be useful for fans so that they can see the shared views between Ian and I, but also the differences. I may not enjoy a particular boot very much, but Ian will find the beauty in it that I didn't. Vice versa could be true. That's why we review the same shows, sometimes the outcomes/reviews are vastly different.

    Rankings will follow soon, and we will compile a short list of the 2013 boots we both thought were top notch or close.

    Recently listened to all the boots from the Canada 2011 tour. I think most of these are now up on the blog, the remaining ones should get posted up this weekend along with my review of Amsterdam I from the Euro tour. I'll be listening to Amsterdam II tomorrow ;)

    The blog has been completely updated. Boyo's completion of the Canada '11 stint was awesome and we are both getting ready to attack Euro 14 as they come out. He has already written reviews for the first two Ziggo shows. I hope to get in Amsterdam 1 2014 today.

    All of Euro '14 reviews are up, I think Marcus is now also starting to check 'em out too :) I'm currently working on the first leg of the 2000 tour and am 9 shows in.

    To those coming to our blog, I really appreciate you making this worthwhile to us. To those wondering why my reviews have been much slower as of the last 6 weeks, I just got a new job as the Executive Director of a non profit agency that deals with helping to stop domestic violence in our community. I'm also teaching and finishing my masters degree. So life is so so busy, but the blog will keep growing!

    My Euro 14 reviews will be coming later, I will probably be able to just hit some random previous tours for now but around December I will hit 2014 Euro hard.

    Back in business again!

    My full review of Detroit 2014 boot is now up on the Last Exit blog. I enjoyed Detroit 2014 quite a bit, a good fun boot. Click below for full review. I think the show is worth adding to one's boot collection simply for the opening combo, so beautiful.
