2000 Official Bootleg Sound Quality
I started today going through my digital collection and purging all my old MP3 boots, because "sound" matters to me now..lol
Well, as I was replacing the MP3s with FLACs of each show, I did a Dynamic Range test on each one. Well, I knew the 2000 shows sounded good...I just had no clue how good. Every show was coming in a DR rating of 13 to 14. (That's DAMN good.) I then wanted to quickly compare shows from other years, and as I kinda already knew they all had DRs ranging from 7-9. I could tell immediately that they were mastered WAY louder.
I only have a few of the HDFLAC shows, but I did an A/B comparison of NAIS from the Ziggo Dome show in 2012 to the Dublin show in 2000...wow no questions which one is better.
Dublin
DR Peak RMS Duration Track
DR16 -0.22 dB -20.13 dB 6:49 07-Nothing as it Seems
Amsterdam
DR Peak RMS Duration Track
DR7 -0.33 dB -9.85 dB 5:16 09-Nothing As It Seems
So if anyone is on the fence about purchasing any of the 2000 shows, don't. They are the best sounding/mastered boots around.. bar none.

2003 US tour sounds terrific tho
2000 Europe are nice and clear, but lacking in bass (both the instrument and low-end to some degree). US are better in this regards, but kind of dull sounding overall.
