I have dabbled in them, but the sheer amount of live music available is overwhelming for most major artists. On top of that, so many of the soundboards or radio broadcasts are in rough shape. I wish there were reliable guides on the best boots, but so often it comes down to personal preference. Balancing sound quality versus musical quality is a tough issue.
But there are a few that are essential for fans of particular artists. Many legitimate releases were driven by capitalizing on the popularity of certain bootlegs.
