One question I get asked quite a lot is "What is the best recording from individual tours?" Well, there is a wealth to choose from, so I have highlighted some of the more obvious ones, mainly from a sound quality perspective for new traders to look out for. I have tried to stick to complete shows, although there are some exceptionally good partial shows, often radio broadcasts or from Pre-FM discs.

Please feel free to dispute any of these! They are not always the most interesting shows from each tour, but they are probably the ones of the best quality
