Whoa. Haha over here I've been trying to churn out like a boot a day. Usually I get through most of the main set of a show (provided its ZooTV or later) through the night, and I listen to the encore after school the next day. Earlier shows are easier cause they were so much shorter.

Boot of the month is up next, as soon as "Can't Help Falling in Love" is over. It'll be my 50th show!

I went through the checked boxes on my bootleg tracker on here, and counted the ones I marked I had, and the ones I'd actually listened to, and it came to like 44...and that was 5 shows ago Yay for hitting number 50!

Worcester is a good show for such a landmark

Listening now, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" in fact.

I'll be more detailed once the review rolls around, but I wasn't digging the sound for the first few tracks, but it seems to have improved. The audience is PHENOMENAL though...thanks for recommending a show like this, Sergio, something I would never just pick out of the blue.

Usually my bootleg selection process consists of going to U2gigs, and looking up random shit like, "Oh, they only played [insert song here] once in that setlist slot, eh? Download the whole show"

Right now on my queue, after Worcester...

1984-10-20: Toulouse, France (Very early TUF show, 2nd time Wire was ever played)
2009-10-09: Tampa, FL (Haven't listened to any of the shows that NLOTH wasn't in the opening 4. this'll be #1)
2001-11-23: Phoenix, AZ (3 instances of "In God's Country" in this show alone- 1 quasi-snippet, 1 real snippet, and the actual song)

UPDATE: Listening to "Bad" from the show of the month...I always wish he'd carry on with the "Candle in the Wind" snippet, but he never takes it as far as I'd love him to!!! Such a tease!!!

Have you seen the concert/YouTube videos, where they drop the banner that says "VIVA" behind them as the guitar/piano part comes in? Gives me butterflies every time.

I'm listening to my own cover of "Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World", done in an hour out of sheer boredom, being remastered in Sony ACID as I type, and soon posted on the boards.

Simplicity can account for a great deal.
