    I think you actually mean Pre-War, the December '82 shows they played as rehearsals. I never was too keen on the Manchester (1982-12-02) one due to the unnatural soundboard sound, but the NYD rendition is feckin' good, yes.
  2. So is the War Tour worth exploring then? I've never gotten into it.
  3. Yes it is. Well, actually if you don't care about anecdotes or very specific show moments, you can download a few key shows since the setlists remained pretty much consistent throughout the whole thing.
  4. Consistent setlists don't bother me so much. I guess if a show's good a show is good.
  6. I'll be on that.

    No, I read 1982-12-02...

    I'll listen to them both anyway

    You can't get more constant than Popmart and I love that tour.
  8. Popmart was also good even if it was a little messy at times. But that's what rock and roll is...messy and not perfect.

  11. haha no, I didn't mean pre-War as the whole 1976-1982 period, but as the actual just-before-War mini tour they played in December 1982. The London show at the Hammersmith Palace was the 3rd or 4th bootleg I ever got, and it's still one of my favorites. So muuuuch energy! (the great sound quality helps too)
  12. Yeah, I know you meant the mini-tour. It was because I said "War tour" and assumed that the 1982 date was part of that. Anyway, we mean the same show

    I want to start reviewing some of them soon. Just to cement my place on the end of year stats
