Which bootlegs are you listening to right now?

Finished Berlin 14.. don't quite know how to feel about it.. crowd noise is super loud.. not sure I really like how it was mixed.. nonetheless it's a great show, with some real gems in the set (my first Sleight and ATY were my personal highlights)

Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls - Deichbrand Festival, Nordholz (20.07.14)

Toronto 2009

Stockholm '14

Release beautifully opens here. It feels really stripped back and more raw than normal. It's slightly tinged by the guitars messing up at the end. Sometimes is played far quicker than it needs to be - slow it down guys! Small Town is a little rough round the edges, least the guitar is. Maybe just the mix of the boot. Black - again sensational in this early slot. Go/Animal/Mind Your Manners/Why Go is just excellent. I think this is my favourite Why Go of the tour so far. The tempo and flow doesn't stop with Corduroy. It's not the best performance of Red Mosquito you'll ever hear unfortunately. The guys give My Father's Son it's 2nd appearance of the tour and it's a decent effort. U is introduced as "there's alot of you out there and probably only 10 of you know this song". It's actually the first time U has been played in Europe. Green Disease makes it's first appearance in 2 years after last being played in Oslo '12. The main set is brought to an end with Spin The Black Circle and a superb Rearviewmirror.

At the start of the encore, Ed sees a sign by woman that says "sign my shoe". He gets her to give him both her shoes and then proceeds to play Just Breathe. After the song, Ed goes to sign the shoes and gives his bottle of wine to the woman. He then pours & drinks wine from the shoes much to the delight & disgust of the crowd. The reactions on the boot are hilarious. Ed ends by saying to the woman "I feel we have a connection now". The music resumes with the only performance of the tour for Oceans. Mother is excellent. Supersonic and Sonic Reducer combine again but not quite into SuperSonic Reducer like in Amsterdam. An incredible Porch with another superb and different instrumental (best of the tour) closes the encore, a bit of an indifferent encore for me (song choice wise, not performance wise).

Ed talks for a little bit at the start of the second encore; I'm not really sure what about, I don't think he knew either but it leads into Do The Evolution. After Better Man, it's the turn of Alive and Baba O'Riley. As Indifference starts, Ed teases the crowd with "so we'll see you in another 10 years, yeah?" quickly turning it to 8 years and then 2 years. Indifference closes the show.

Another good boot but not at the quality of Trieste, Vienna and Berlin for me.
