    Worcester shows were amazing. Brooklyn 2 with Wash opener was incredible. Charlotte has the best performed Present Tense I've heard but a weaker setlist but they were on. Charlottesville is overrated IMO. Good setlist. But there were some castasrophes (i.e.: Grievance)

    But if I had to pick just ONE show, it would be LA 1.

    I was at SD and both LA shows. All three were awesome, but SD had a uniquely intimate family feel to it. Ed had his mom there for tremor Christ sakes and said some really heartfelt things. Go with SD Nov 2013.

    I suppose I am biased, but Vancouver really is an entertaining boot. Eddie was in a particularly good mood.

    Hartford had SO much emotion.

    I've posted on similar threads and my answer probably changes but Phoenix, OKC, Vancouver, Hartford, Vienna, Milan, Leeds are all pretty solid. I haven't heard the big day out shows though. Could be some good ones there.

    What about Oslo now?
    Can someone tell me how the Bootleg sounds, please? And Ed´s voice ?
    Thought this one was some special, so isn´t it a little bit curious noone mentioned it here?

    Hartford or Vancouver. I was at both shows, and they are two of the best I've ever attended!!

    I have the Hartford bootleg. A friend of mine was there. It's incredible! The energy of the cloud was off the charts. Ed even commented : "This is not normal..."

    I have listened to a bunch... attended 5 of the shoes last fall... HARTFORD is the best boot...
    Leeds, Charlottesville are fun too but Hartford is the best. Try OKC if you want a boot with few mistakes but it has nowhere near the emotion as Hartford... Caught part of SD in Sirius and that one sounded really fun... Have Vancouver, Bklyn, Philly, Worcester, New Orleans (cool out of the ordinary setlist by Steve Gleason), Dallas, LA 1 and 2, Seattle... Hartford is it...

    Vancouver is off the hook...but Leeds is incredible...made me cry it's so good!
    I was alone and far away when I heard the band start playing!

    ...I was always a DeadHead, but when I first heard Winston Rodney, aka the Burning Spear, sing, I became a SpearHead too!

    I've really enjoyed the Spokane show. I didn't go to any shows so not biased because of that.
