[kj] Official bootlegs

I've bought a couple from the last 3 tours mostly for the new album tracks that they played early in those respective tours.  I more or less cherry picked a couple shows from each tour featuring the most songs I want to hear.  Living here in the US, I never got to hear songs like In Cythera, All Hollows Eve, Rapture, Pole Shift or anything from Pylon because they dropped the songs from the set by the time they played here or in the case of the last album, simply never toured the US at all behind the album.

Granted, the sound quality and mix isn't quite at the level of what you'd get from a typical "official" live release and often kind of exposes especially Jaz's vocal limitations these days especially on several of the new songs mentioned above, but I like the recordings for what they are and am extremely grateful they are available for those of us that don't get to see the band outside Europe and the UK plug the newer material.  Probably my only complaint is that the band haven't yet set these shows up as downloads so you don't have to wait weeks to get burned CD-Rs.

Yes that was a bit better... but then its a better song ;-)
It all sounds a bit tinny (I realise its youtube on my computer) - no doubt
a lot better through a decent system.
