2015 Official Bootlegs

[Birds in Hell]

I think Bogota was one of the only shows unmarred by distortion on Ed's vocal track. I'd get that one.

Great story alert: borrowed my father-in-law's car today and he has Sirius, so guess who dialed up ol' channel 22.

When I did, I was greeted with "Hard to Imagine" from 11/11/15 in Porto Alegre. Was struck by how good Ed sounded, especially on "things were different then...". It's a register that still really works for him, after all these years.

Paging user Release_Me to discuss what notes he hits there and why it's good.

Anyway, thought the band sounded fantastic on that track.

Now someone answer hlniv's question for Christ's sake.

I think Bogota was one of the only shows unmarred by distortion on Ed's vocal track. I'd get that one.

17 days for an answer, but it's from a reliable source. I had been thinking either Belo Horizonte or Rio, but honestly, I forgot about it completely.

So, are there distortion problems on Belo or Rio?

Is Bogota the consensus solely due to the sound of Ed's voice?

Need more opinions!

Sorry, I haven't listened to the tour yet. I thought the first show or 2 didn't have the distortion either.

I finally listened to the entire tour in order. This was probably my favorite of the 3 South America tours. Sadly, it will be remembered for the digi-noise more than anything else.

I'd rank them from best to worst as:

São Paulo, Brazil
Bogotá, Colombia
Belo Horizonte, Brazil
México D.F., Mexico
La Plata, Argentina
Quilicura, Chile
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Brasília, Brazil
Porto Alegre, Brazil
