Question: What are the best bootlegs from the Slippery, New Jersey and KTF tours? "Best" as in - audio should be soundboard, and the performances are excellent? So audio quality takes a bit of a preference over sheer performance quality.

Slippery - Largo (horrendous vocals though, but there seem to be very few good quality recordings from early SWW tour)

NJ - Philadelphia (quite rough sound quality overall, but soundboard nonetheless - plus a tremendous performance), Rotterdam, Santiago

KTF - Milton Keynes night #1, Zürich

I don't know why but I always liked that Prayer (Hannover 1986), that I'll Be There For You (Santiago 1990) and that Wanted Dead Or Alive (Milan 1993).

Even though Jon's vocal consistency had already gone down quite audibly by late August when compared to the constant epicness of April and May, at this show he went all out and delivered a truly magnificent performance all the way through. The encore performances of ITA and IBTFY were something totally out of this world, I'd Die For You was pure passion (just listen to his breathtaking scream at the end of the song!!!), and I absolutely love the extraordinarily high level of energy that he, alongside the whole band, had even on the "mandatory" songs like Bad Name, Medicine (Rock Some More and everything included) and Prayer Amazing show!

EDIT: Jesus Christ, this ITA is just... just... I don't know...

I will always remember that summer.
Probably the best summer of my life.
