Hi guys,

Im a huge fan of bootlegs where the audience can be heard singing along with the songs (without distorting the band of course) Sao Paulo 2006 being a good example.

You guys have probably downloaded more of them than me, i love ALL of the tours, can anyone think of any that stick out in their mind for brilliant audience sound?

p.s - apologies if there's already a thread for this topic!

1992-05-07 Paris is one of my favorites. The audience is audible, the band louder by a lot, but you can hear the crowd sing. 1992-05-22 Milan is also great. The crowd actually drowns our Edge during the Fly, which has to be heard to be believed. 1987-11-22 Austin is good, another personal favorite. My absolute favorite is probably the best example, that being 2001-06-09 Boston. The crowd is really into the show, and the band are top notch with probably the best setlist I've seen as far as elevation shows go.

Other shows of mention with active audiences:

1992-04-23 Vancouver
1993-07-02 Verona (contact me for this one)
1993-XX-XX Rotterdam (all 4 shows are amazing)
1987-11-15 Oakland (also awesome)

JT Austin is amazing in all respects (including audience!)... not just because I live in Austin!

the setlist is just absolutely horrible isn't it? It's so bad it's found a spot on my iPod.

...

eh? I thought the Edinburgh gig was BotM?

In response to James' question, I'll throw Paris 1992-05-07 this way yonder, but I will also plug the Milan gig Gerard has gone with

Most Lovetown shows are pretty good for audience participation too (POINT DEPOT *wink wink nudge nudge...

I'm listening to it right now and the sound quality is great....I almost wouldn't have noticed it's recorded by the audience if I hadn't read it

Ah, fair kop, not quite the best typo you've done but confusing nonetheless lol.

I really need to get hold of the audience recording - I hate the earpiece matrix boot I have
