Best DIGITAL RECORDINGS- (2010-2013-2015)

[Brunno Nunes- (Universo Dire Straits)]

Hello all Knopflerians!!! 

Could any specialist make a list of the most interesting shows in the DIGITAL RECORDINGS series? The fundamentals.

As there are many, some very similar, I would like to know (if I do not disturb  ), those who have unusual versions of songs, setlist with rare songs (little played).

Thanks, I'm sure here is the ideal place for this question.

Interesting question!
2010: maybe Frankfurt, but I never to listen to these 2010 recordings to be honest.
2013: Saint Julien really stands out! Also like Stuttgart very much and Newcastle for the great setlist.
2015: US leg seems better. Toronto is really good (except for Sultans) and it got very good sound. Also like Albany a lot.

Well, without no doubt I would recommend Locarno 2010 and Padova 2013. Nothing from 2015 and Nashville from 2005 if that counts.

But I fear you will get 10 different recommendations from 10 people.

Since we will all have somewhat different opinions, I think it would be helpful to list what was special about specific shows, for example:
2013 St Julien - Excellent show; hot venue.  Band on fire, and AMITers had water fight to cool off. 
2015 Milwaukee (9-30-2015): On Every Street played for first time in 23 years.
etc....

2015 tour: I really liked the last show of the tour (Fort Lauderdale) , good/rare songs and marks playing is quite good (considering the rest of the tour)

2010:
-Paris has a long and breathtaking TR solo, almost on par with 2005. It also has a rarely played ANISLO with Mark screaming instead of singing also a DWB in D instead of C. And ohe ohe

2013:
-Saint-Julien is outstanding, great energy, great WII, great TR, long SFA, and above all a magnificent saxless Going Home.
-Stuttgart has the greatest version of rarely played DOTDS. With a funny setlist mistake from IanTo which had Mark to tease him
-Lubjana has the greatest version of rarely played Yon Two Crows.

2015:
-Manchester has outstanding sound. The synth on HFB can be clearly heard unlike most versions.
-Sion has also great sound, longest TR from the tour, and great SOS with a technical sound problem which made Mark joke about it
-Barcelona has a great rarely played BIA with long intro

2010  -  Manchester is my favourite, especially Coyote, which is the best I have heard and also Get Lucky was played beautifully.

         -  Brighton is also very good - Monteleone was played and a great version of Donegan's Gone, which I normally skip, but this has a
            great slide guitar intro.  There is no Marbletown, which is probably a plus for those who don't like it.

            Great versions of SOS and TR on both of these recordings.
           

2013     Liverpool - Lovely version of Seattle with a little nod at the end to Ferry Across The Mersey.
            Great version of SOS and also TR and an interesting solo on SFA - different to the usual.

            Carcassonne - just a wonderful concert in every respect -  beautiful venue and great playing on everything.  Just one
            disappointment - there was no Speedway.

2015     Manchester - This is the best of those I have heard, but Newcastle is also good except I find the sound very 'tinny'!   Both have
            excellent versions of KOG.

2010 - Glasgow:  home of the Albion for Border Reiver.  Great and long HFB.  Best Coyote from the tour IMO.  Interesting and great solos on Sultans.

2013 - St. Julien has been cropping up and I would agree. He always plays well there for some reason.

2015 - St. Julien again!  I said he always plays well there!  Probably the best version of Sultans from the tour and the best energy.  Paris 2nd night has interesting solos, especially on TR which I like a lot.  Toronto is a good concert with maybe the best Speedway (cheer when he sings Toronto) and, although I don't have the soundboard, Atlanta has a fine Sultans.  Overall later shows are best both sound wise and musically.

Which is ridiculous. It's not like it's something physical what you can send, need an address for, etc., just a download. They don't need any money?

I'm not feeling right in the head today.

Nashville 2005 and London 2005 are my favorites.

The first batch of MK digital recordings by Crowfly/Passalong...

[quizzaciously]

Paris 2010 is the king. After that one I hardly can listen to the recent tour bootlegs. In fact, after 2015 shows sticks 2010 sounds like a live album.
