As we all know, the peak form of the band is long over. The only thing we can do now is enjoy the current reality, and of course... enjoy the old recordings from the best live years.

The last official release was Live at MSG 2008. Which old show would you like to have been officially released? What tour/period of time do you prefer? You can select some single show, or just the era.

There's a ton of shows I would love to see to be released.
But if I had to pick only one, it can only be Hammersmith 1990.

Bingo - I would die happy to have that video in any quality. If I had to chose a runner up it would be Rotterdam 1989.

Many of the show that are listed above are available as bootlegs - in various degrees of quality.

[Walleris]

It would have to be the 1993 KTF shows.

The band and especially Jon were at their apex, yet we have so little pro recordings of that year. 1996 and 2001 were also great with little recordings, but 1993 would be my pick.

[Bounce7800]

Probably ktf only because crossroad /td is covered to a point by Wembley 95.

Would love to see Hyde Park 03 or Milton Keynes 2001 in full though. There's just so many massively different options over a vast length of time, I just hope eventually they make use of the archive and let some out.

[Dave 1986]

I think it's only fair we have an 80s era concert released in full. Reason being, we already have shows released (officially) from the 90s onwards in some way, shape or form. For me, preferably it would be from the New Jersey era. I wouldn't turn down a 90s show though.

They should do what KISS did and release box sets of several shows covering various eras of their career.

I'd have to say the KTF era - that's the one I voted for, but I would love to see a full pro show from the Bounce arena tour (though I doubt any of them were shot appropriately for a proper release) with the three big satellites. I wish I had gone to more than one show that tour.

voted Jersey era but id like KTF era as well.

Yeah, they were great, but not as "tight" as later, musically. They played some songs too fast, some with variying tempo, etc. I think they were at their peak around 2000/2001, where Jon could still sing almost anything, but the band was better than ever.
