Thats ok, but Dublin 1989-12-31 is as we all know a radio broadcast, so why not 5 stars??

Copenhagen 2005-07-31 for example, has fantastic sound, excellent, but it's in fact not a soundboard, as listed here. The sound there is a lot better than Stockholm soundboard 1992-06-11. I mean, you dont want to mislead people by telling them bootlegs are soundboards, but its a very THIN line here, dont you think??

I am bugging you? Don't mean to bug ya.


You're right about Copenhagen, I'll change the rating from that bootleg.

And I don't know about Dublin #4, the audience recording is pretty similar to the radio broadcast. I don't actually know which one it is here, but I'll change it to 5.

No, it's nothing more than 3 stars compared to the 'real' excellent audience recordings. There are dozens of better recordings available which are worth 4 stars.

Mine isn't, or if it is, it's a really bad soundboard which deserves nothing more than 4 stars.
Could you upload one track for me to compare?

Well, does not make any sense to me. I thought soundboard was rated 5 stars here no matter of the quality. Otherwise should excellent audience recordings like Copenhagen 2005-07-31 or Dublin 1989-12-26 be rated 5 stars too.

Anyway, here is Bad from Nantes:

You're right, but there are always exceptions I'll give your Bad a listen.

The source is the same but in my copy there's also some audience mixed through it.

There are soundboards which deserves 3 stars (yes, 3!) and audience recordings which deserves 5 or more, if you could. That's quite subjective.

I think each concert could have his own calification, not 5 califications for all. Remy, this is for you
Thanks, C·U

The ratings are very questionable sometimes, I totally understand that, this is the best in a while that I can offer y'all
