There was a spectacularly terrible one from 2001 too - Chicago!   :o   

The ones I have liked in recent years have been Manchester 2010, Istanbul 2013 and Liverpool 2013.

Gotta love the Chicago version! It's amazing how long he keeps the fiddly bits in the wrong key, like he's not noticing it or something.  ;D

Well, I got mixed up between Boston, Lincolnshire and Boston MA, then remembered he never played Lincolnshire. ;)

It was Boston, MA 23.04.01 where he messed up the twiddly bits.  Seriously.  James Taylor was there to hear it!

Mine would have to be Houston '85, as it was one of just two I've been to, but also was a great show, recorded and broadcast across the US.  Mark was really at the height of his powers at that time.

I actually had it on my HD until recently because I liked it.  There were a couple of mistakes, most noticeably at the very end after the twiddly bits, but overall I thought it was rocking and inspired so I was forgiving of these errors.  Everyone makes mistakes.  Well, nearly everyone.  Not everyone has "Super" as a first name! ;D

Nevermind the mistakes, If you enjoy it that's OK   :)

No, sersiously, you can't enjoy Chicago 2001! I remember buying it from Tomas Molin back in those years and when it arrived, I first skipped to Sultans full of anticipation - and when I heard that DESASTER, I never gave the complete show another chance... I just don't want to hear my favourite tune slaughtered in that way! Val is absolutely right. And dmg, you CAN'T like that version! No way!!!  :wave

At least he was pushing himself instead of just going through the motions. 

Actually, that concert isn't too bad and Baloney Again is great, TR very nice indeed and R&J is one of the best versions ever.

He sounded tired and worn out, but at least I do agree with you about TR, it's one of my favourites!

Right, I've had dinner and I've just found the Chicago bootleg (and couldn't resist some others too ;D) so I'm giving it another listen.
