Rebuilding a CDR collection.

Rebuilding a CDR collection. Oh no, not another favourite bootleg thread! Well, sort of, but mostly looking for opinions, any help that's offered from experience of favourite discs and other's thoughts if they found themselves in the same disc-less situation. So, earlier in the year, I had my entire boot collection collected and thrown away. Didn't give it much thought, it all just went with everything else when I had a house cleared. I now own the square root of knack all CDR's and literally hundreds of original boots are probably helping to fill a landfill site somewhere in the NW. I'm aware of pretty much everything that's considered a classic must-have boot and everything pre '87, I'm just looking for help with which shows to get again from 87 onwards. Simply, I want no more than 3 shows per year (exceptional years, a couple more) to represent the year's touring activities. So, what are people's thoughts on 1987? Which shows, if any, do you play the most? If you lost everything from 87 you own, what would you get again? ~By the way, i don't need any recommendation from the Dead mini tour~ I've only one show that immediately comes to mind, and that's the boot 'Final night and more', so, two more shows to pick, what would you plump for? P.S. This isn't a request for shows to be put in the mail for me, i can easily request B&P's, Bittorrent etc. at a later date. http://www.allalongthewatchtower.dk/phorum/read.php?1,353984,353984#msg-353984 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:52:33 +0200 Phorum 5.2.13 http://www.allalongthewatchtower.dk/phorum/read.php?1,353984,355877#msg-355877 Re: Rebuilding a CDR collection. http://www.allalongthewatchtower.dk/phorum/read.php?1,353984,355877#msg-355877

Well it's not handy right now but I can surely look it up if you haven't heard it Billy. Since I heard it I'm thinking about Something in terms of this performance and not Harrison's. Indeed hauntingly murdering.

which shows are you going for from early 2002? i only ask 'cause Manchester was my first ever show, it was all a bit overwhelming and i didn't have a clue what was going on really! did you do Manchester? how did it compare to the others, for you? when i heard Bournemouth, i was taken aback by how much Charlie and Larry there was with the harmonizing, was sure that wasn't the case at the MEN...

I didn't go to any British shows if memory serves....I went to 6 shows I think in Germany/Italy with our mate Bill and Steve B.

Didn't Manchester have a semi acoustic opener? It was considered the best 2002 British show I seem to remember.

I'll probably go with Frankfurt and one other from Germany early 2002.]]> songanddanceman General Bob Dylan discussion Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:01:31 +0100 http://www.allalongthewatchtower.dk/phorum/read.php?1,353984,355354#msg-355354 Re: Rebuilding a CDR collection. http://www.allalongthewatchtower.dk/phorum/read.php?1,353984,355354#msg-355354 Buda General Bob Dylan discussion Wed, 05 Dec 2007 13:26:48 +0100 http://www.allalongthewatchtower.dk/phorum/read.php?1,353984,355350#msg-355350 Re: Rebuilding a CDR collection. http://www.allalongthewatchtower.dk/phorum/read.php?1,353984,355350#msg-355350 red bluff is one of

"What's the best show of 2006?"

Year 2006 is divided into before Modern Times and after Modern Times. In the before Modern Times category, I strongly believe that Reading, Pennsylvania, August 23, is the best. Stupendous show, one surprise after another. Opens with Cat’s in the Well for first time in over a year after a long run of Maggie’s openers. Includes You Ain’t Goin’ Nowhere (first since Nov. 6, 2005, Erfurt, GE), Not Dark Yet (first since July 30, 2005, Goldendale, WA), Tangled Up In Blue (first since Oct. 29, 2005, Oberhausen, GE); Lenny Bruce (first since April 30, 3005, New York Beacon). Closed with Rainy Day Women not Watchtower, first show without Watchtower in 2006.

After Modern Times I'll leave to others, though I like Fairfax and New York.]]> OutsideTheLaw General Bob Dylan discussion Fri, 30 Nov 2007 20:02:24 +0100 http://www.allalongthewatchtower.dk/phorum/read.php?1,353984,354978#msg-354978 Re: Rebuilding a CDR collection. http://www.allalongthewatchtower.dk/phorum/read.php?1,353984,354978#msg-354978 angry crow puking General Bob Dylan discussion Fri, 30 Nov 2007 19:04:38 +0100 http://www.allalongthewatchtower.dk/phorum/read.php?1,353984,354964#msg-354964 Re: Rebuilding a CDR collection. http://www.allalongthewatchtower.dk/phorum/read.php?1,353984,354964#msg-354964
