Of the 12 (or maybe was it 13?) shows I saw that tour, both Hollywood Bowl shows were the best with the L.A. Forum show as runner up mainly due to having a 3rd row seat and being in the comfort of the classic old Forum vs. the sterile Staples Center. And special mention for the Nijmegen show.
*As I haven't listened to the boots in ages, opinion based on all around experience and memories vs. performance alone.

Isn't Nijmegen regarded as their nadir, perhaps together with Werchter?
Both shows were pretty damn good....both San Francisco and the one in San Diego also really good...Fresno--eh.. L.A.in 06 solid but not spectacular..Vegas was good also...at least they were playing new trax from the latest LP...Quote

I just now heard a boot of the first show from the Hollywood Bowl in 2005 and i'm completely shocked at how good it is! They completely tore it up that night and it has one of the best versions of Sympathy For The Devil that I have ever heard. This is probably the first show i've heard from that tour that i've actually fully enjoyed. Everything else is just not very good to me and it gets me wondering if there were other shows from that tour that were on par with this one.

I have only seen the fvck ups on video + a couple of videos here and there, though. But I remember the fuss about those shows back in the day..
It's nice to see Nijmegen mentioned as a good show, though, despite the incident with Keith on Happy. The overall experience counts the most

Nadir? The Werchter show was great, which is evident in this video: video: [www.youtube.com]. The shows I saw in 2007 was better than those I saw in 2006. The band sounded more rushed and unfocused in 2006 IMO. Keith was a bit on and off and unpredictable (perhaps due to mediction) in 2007 like when he messed up ''Happy'' in Nijmegen, but overall his playing was good I think.

Also I forgot about McAfee Coliseum, Oakland, 2006. That one REALLY rocks and there's a great audience tape of it. Good show with an even better set list containing songs like She Was Hot, Dead Flowers, Bitch, Streets Of Love, Connection, and Just My Imagination! I forgot all about this shows existence until now and it's a great one. I recommend those who haven't heard it to go and check it out.
Very true! In the end it's all just a matter of taste.Quote

Hmmmm...the tape might be good, and yes it was a decent setlist (despite Streets of Love), but the show itself definitely wasn't one of the best in comparison to all the others I attended, and not that great in comparison to dozens of boots from other shows that tour. An overall average show at best, and in fact it was my least favorite. But just goes to show, varying opinions and a variety of different perspectives makes it impossible for everyone to be on the same page regarding what makes a particular show good or bad.
