Were the 2006 bootlegs sold on CD?

I’m in the process of organizing my digital music files and found that something happened to my bootlegs for the 2006 Toronto and San Fran shows. I figured it was no big deal and went to get the CDs from my collection. To my surprise, the CDs weren’t there. This has made me question whether there were physical releases of the 2006 shows or if they were download only.  Can anyone let me know?  If there were physical copies, I might have lost mine in a move several years back. 

Regardless how how they were released though, anyone know a source for lossless copies of those 5 shows?  I checked Nugs, but they don’t have any shows from that year.

    No, digital download only.

    Thanks for the confirmation there weren’t physical releases.

    What were the types of digital downloads that the 2006 were made available in? I don't remember, I have a full set of FLACS, but are now wondering if these were just upconverted MP3s. Anyone know how these were initially available?

    Just found my answer. 2005 were only MP3, while you could get the 2006 in FLAC. So my FLAC are legit, just been awhile since I have been through my digital collection. Updating all to FLAC or FLAC HD if available.

    I am slowly working on the 2005 FLACs now that they are available the mix on the these is way way way better than the original release of the MP3s.  

    For some reason the 2006 tour has an odd sound mix compared to say 2000, 2003 and now the newer 2005.  The shows have a reverb and echoey quality to them and the guitar mix can at times become very muddy and even times muffled.

    I know what you're talking about. Depending on the shows the sound quality can really vary. In general, I'd say the european and australian shows sounded better than the US ones. There are exceptions, for example E. Rutherford shows sound excellent to me, but I remember shows like Cincinnati and Pittsburgh sounding very muffled.
    ps: Anyway, if anyone is missing any of the 2006 shows (in flac), hit me up and I will provide a link for direct download (don't think this breaks any rules, since they are not on sale anymore anywhere)

    Agreed, a lot of the open air venues the mix seems to have come out better in 2006.  The Gorge, Santa Barbara, definitely several of the Euro shows.  I may making things up, but I feel like they were pretty quick with the flac downloads of those shows, I feel like they were edited and accessible within 48-72 hours.  That is tough for a great sounding product to come out.

    Been wondering why the 2006's aren't available to download anymore.  I think you guys answered some of those questions why.  Hopefully working on the sound and a re-release at some point.
