Ultimate Soundboard Playlist

I recently had an idea of making a playlist of every song the band has ever played live –*only 1 version of each song (unless there's also an acoustic variation). Basically, I'm looking for the best quality (in terms of both performance and sound) version of each song. Some of these recordings will be from the 80s, and some will be from the 2010s.

Now I'm pretty new to collecting soundboards and what-not, so if anyone could recommend what they consider to be the best version of a certain song (and preferably, how this recording can be obtained).

Obviously, this is a pretty big project so it would be great if this could be a collaborative effort. Hopefully, this thread can be a resource in the future to anyone looking for the best live recordings.

Thanks very much!!

I'll get the ball rolling with the easy points. These ones have only ever been played live once.

If you are talking audio, I
did something very similar... I created a Live Album for each Album... it's mostly soundboards but I'll use bootlegs to fill in the rare stuff... I got lazy with the Lost Highway live Album and just pulled the Chicago show from the DVD... I want to go back on that one and pull in some different performances... Same with this recent album, just using London...

You always run into those situations in quality of performance verses quality of sound... for example, is it better to use a Bootleg of Jon singing Wild Is The Wind back in 1991 or a soundboard of an acoustic version of Jon singing it in 2010??? I ran into that situation with some songs off of Blaze too...

I'll usually just include both because at the end if the day, I'm the only one listening to it all anyway!!!

Overall I'm pretty happy with it but it's a constant work in progress... I'm constantly finding better qualities in terms of sound and performance...

I'd definitely go for the "right era" bootleg...for me 2010 Jovi is completely different band than 1991 Jovi. So for the flow & feel of the compiled audio the versions must be from the same time frame.

Three different eras maybe:

1983-1991
1992-1996
2000-2013

Pretty much exactly what I'm trying to do. Any chance you happen to have a tracklist or something of performances you decided were the best? Thanks for the help

Perfect thank you! Exactly what Im looking for! Any chance you've got something similar for other albums, especially the earlier ones? Thanks for your help

The I'll Be There For You from Giants Stadium is hands down the best version ever however the SBD Version is missing about 20 seconds of the best part but you can hear it in the AUD version... Such a shame!!!

Any chance you could please tell me some of the best places to find these soundboards are? I don't have anything in the way of a collection in terms of live stuff.
