Rushboots.com Favorite ROIOEverybody asks the question “what are the best boots from each tour”. This is a tough question to answer, because everybody likes different things about different recordings. Some people prefer the pristine sound of a soundboard recording, while others like the raw sound and ambiance of a good audience recording. Some bootlegs are loved because of their rarity or excellent set list even though the sound quality might not be that great. In any event, we have put together a list of OUR favorite bootlegs from each tour. This was done through a very scientific method that involved drinking a fair amount of alcohol and listening to many songs while bickering amongst ourselves about the merits of each recording. If you are delusional and think that you will only collect one or two shows from each tour, then feel free to use this list as your guide (although you will quickly find out that you won’t be able to stop!).30th Anniversary Tour 2004-05-26 - Years Strong, Starwood Amphitheatre, Antioch, Tennessee 2004-07-17 - Project R30: Las Vegas, Grand Arena, Las Vegas, Nevada 2004-09-12 - UK Unlimited, Manchester, MEN Arena, Manchester, England 2004-09-29 - Penultimate R30 at the Globe, Globe Arena, Stockholm, Sweden Vapor Trails Tour2002-07-12 - Earthly Luminescence, Tweeter Center, Mansfield, Massachusetts Test For Echo Tour1996-10-18 - Echoes on the Stages, Knickerbocker Arena, Albany, New York (Rehearsal) 1997-06-23 - Great Woods And Summer Skies, Great Woods Music Center Amphitheater, Mansfield, MA
