I guess I'm feeling that most of the time as cool as a boot might be, it ends up being non-essential to me. I have about 60 SY boots. But the only live shows I listen to tend to be Hold That Tiger, Continental Club, Venlo Holland, Blastic (IE: the official boots). I think because in my head it's like, those are the shows the band felt were special enough to share. So they mean more to me?
Then there's stuff like the Outcesticide series. Yes, it's pretty awesome. And yeah, I grew up with those. But then the boxset came out and sort of condensed the whole series into something more streamlined. No more multiple takes. SO how essential are those, really?
And I guess that happens a lot. You seek out these bootlegs, and eventually the really great ones get cleaned up and stripped of takes 11-359 of the same song. Eh. I don't know.
