This is a JM forum, DB.  And, JM is always greater than BS.  Laugh yourself back to backstreets.

Of course it's a JM forum and that's why I'm here. JM is one of my favorite musicians. Just because it's a JM forum, though, doesn't mean we can make gross, erroneous statements like "JM>BS" because that isn't, never has been, and never will be true. They're both incredible talents but BS is on a completely different level that most others have to look up at; both in studio work and most importantly as it pertains to this discussion, live performance.

(I will say, JM's studio albums have been better efforts than BS's over the last five or six years but six isn't many when you look at the last forty!)

Official release or not ''apparently it's official enough for Amazon'' most of us have never heard this, or even knew of it's existence, if the audio quality is GOOD who cares, we can enjoy it until an ''official'' release comes along.

Bruce Springsteen has been selling his latest shows on his website.  It is awesome.  I wish JM would follow suit.  After all, JM>BS.

JM>BS? One of the most laughable statements I've heard in a long time. I almost considered reporting you to the moderators for this one.

Also, what would the point of releasing every JM show be? The setlist is literally the SAME night to night. BS played over 110 songs in his 10 show run in Australia, last year. JM has only played 23 songs this entire tour (are we close to 50 shows, now)? How terribly embarrassing....

Is this a bootleg or soundboard?

Either way, how is the quality?

First of all, thank you to everyone that made this new messageboard happen. I always lurked at clubcherrybomb, but now it's cool to actually be able to post.

I'm curious to know what you all think will go down on the fall tour. Setlists? Show length? New Material? Old?

I'd love to see John play a two hour set (I know I'm spoiled by Springsteen's three hour marathons, but I'd love to see John do at least two this time around).

At the very least, I'd like to think he will be back to the hundred minute show he did in 2008.

Five or Six new songs in the set would seem to be fair.

I'd love to see a few rare songs make it back into the set. I'd love to see Deep Blue Heart (was awesome last year) and Chance Meeting at the Tarantula.

I really hope he busts out some songs from Freedoms Road. I feel like those songs never got their "fair share."

As far as the classics go, hopefully we will get some more variety. It would be sad to see Authority song close the set, AGAIN. Throw in full band Cherry Bomb in that slot or Thank You, Peaceful World, etc.

So what do you all want to see this tour/expect to see?

Thanks for the link. I'm downloading it right now! Does anybody know of any other great sounding bootlegs that are out there, especially from the last couple of years?
