  1. For me 90% of the Zoo Tv Bootlegs are crap when you play them in a good Hifi to many blimps.
  2. I think they have all been said. I have listened to most Zoo Tv boots.

    Shortlist:

    Atlanta
    Lakeland
    Anaheim
    Tacoma
    Vancouver
    Rotterdam 92
    Washington DC
    Kiel
    Stockholm
    Copenhagen
    Milan
    Paris
    Philly outside broadcast

    Basically what everyone said above, you really don’t need to look farther then these to start
  3. Most of the show mentioned have terrible audio quality. Unless you guys sitting on unknown soundboards? For me a show has to be listenable in a good quality. Like the stockholm zoo tv show broadcast to this dudes home.
    But most of the bootlegs mentioned are just audience recordings in a quality that’s painfull for your ears.
  4. Good recordings is a different question to good shows. And you will miss a lot of good shows.

    Totally agree. Hard for me to enjoy a show if the sound is average too. Dublin , Rotterdam and washington are perfect for me and the only one i liste' to for 15 years.
    But Stockholm is an audience recording , the soudboard from video broadcast is poor compared to one of the best audience recording of this era.
  6. I really prefer a good performance instead a soundboard recording. For example, Washington is an average/good show, of course I prefer Tacoma, an average/good audience recording but with stellar performance
  7. In all cases, to have a site like u2start + this kind of thread is just a big big chance we have , 20 years ago it was less easy !!! I love to read everyone'sopinion , especially when you mention particular titles that are good, , then I download quickly the show and I listen to the songs you all mentioned, and that I like or not, at least I've not lost time or money !!! and I delete if I do'nt like !!! a new way to consume bootlegs far better than before !
  8. For sure, give me a bang average audience recording with a great performance over a sterile soundboard any day.
