What are some of the best sounding MP3 bootlegs for THe Hold Steady. I've done searches of google and this site, but I wasn't able to find anything. I'm really looking for sound quality, but good setlist and good performances are also important. Thanks for the help!

Yeah, I'm using that site, but I don't see anywhere that tells you the quality of the recordings.

Now I've always been a massive fan of your bootlegs TheWho and I like to make my way through as many as I can, yet I'd never heard the Bowery Ballroom set that you recommended before. What can I say...
HOLY SHIT!
That was incredible! Thank you a million times!

I might sound a bit redundant here...My favorites are the Bowery Ballroom show from June 9th, 2009 holdsteady.blogspot.com/2009/06/bowery-ballroom-june-9-2009.htmland the 930 Club from June 7th, 2009. holdsteady.blogspot.com/2009/06/930-club-june-7-2009.htmlThese are the two best shows I've attended thus far from a very whirlwind week of my life. (I had just lost a friend, and my job, and I just left home and traveled up the east coast following THS). Even though the Bowery's setlist is better, I like the 930 club's performance more. The energy between the band and the crowd is audible, and it builds throughout the set. You can hear the crowds involvement (claps, singalongs, cheers, etc.), Tad just kills so many solos during this show, Craig has some pretty awesome stage banter, and I believe this was the first show they covered History Lesson pt II by the Minutemen. These shows are a must have, I highly recommend them. |

Man, I really wish someone had made a recording of the Velvet Jones show a few weeks back. That set was godly.

Square Room has the absolutely ridiculous Separate Vacations, Stay Positive and Resurrection to end the set, so that's a personal favorite.

There's nothing wrong with live recordings.

the market was horrible, but sending cassettes in the mail to someone who you are trading with and waiting for a certain show to come in the mail was pretty awesome.

There is a show at the 40 Watt in GA that I frequently listen to. Encore of Citrus/First Night/Stations/Ballad of the Midnight Hauler/Killer Parties is awesome.
