Best Live Trax Vols. 30-43

Hey all,

I haven’t been keeping up with my Live Trax collection these last couple years and am looking to add some new pieces. I have nearly all volumes 1-29 but only a few in the 30-43 range. Any recommendations on which ones to add? Curious to hear everyone’s top pick(s)!

    LT41 would be my top pick (unless you don't like Dave & Tim).

    Live Trax 37 hands down. First multitrack DMB recording and some great gems throughout (Lover Lay Down, So Much To Say, Best of What's Around, Spotlight to name a few).

    I had a great time listening to LT34 more recently. I would recommend that one, and LT39 and LT42.

    39-43 is an incredible run, even with that 2007 shit in there.

    each has their pros/cons but much of that block is overall forgettable in the long run.

    My favorites in that block are 30, 31, 34, 39, but again, they don't hold much weight when compared to lt1, 3, 8, 12, 17, 18. have not listened to 42 or 43 yet but they're coming in the mail thanks to the LT sale.

    31 might be the best audio mix in the entire LT series. That compilation portion has some great versions. Good one to pick, even with it being heavy on 2001 songs overall.

    I think 39 is one of the best releases yet. Also 33, 40 & 43 are all fantastic. I listen to 30 often, it has some really great versions (best satellite IMO, very strong blue water, etc) but it isn’t a full show, its a compilation of three. And as others have said, 31 does sound really good.

    31, 33, 34, 37, 39, 40, 41, and 43 are all incredible releases and are must haves. 38 is underrated and a great performance but is pretty low key compared to the others I mentioned.

    31, 34, and 37 for sure. 37 is a must have IMO. 39-43 is an incredible run of shows as well. Can't go wrong with them.

    LT30 is a must have, great 1993 release. And LT33, really good release from 1995.

    I’m partial to LT36 (Alpine 2015) because I was there.

    LT39 is a solid 1998 show.

    LT41 is a good D&T release.

    And if you’re a fan of the 04 sound, LT43 is a good one, too.

    33 also has the soundcheck jam that's solid.

    Funny, without a list in front of me I forget which specific shows they are. So many releases! But:

    LT 31 is an unreal release. 2001 needed more love outside of Folsom. They could stand to release another couple from 2001.

    LT 35 is also fantastic. 2009 is underrated year. I think the Europe shows don't do that year justice, although still good, this show really represents the tour better.

    LT39 Again, the whole tour should be released. The sound on this is stellar too.

    LT41 is a classic must have show. Most of the hardcores already had the tape of this, but it's nice to have an SBD. It sounds great.

    LT43 Really good versions of 04 songs. Not as good at LT 8, but still a top notch release. The mix is great. Nice to have this and LT42. They are both a breath of fresh air with all the unreleased tunes from tours.

    LT32 might be the most hated release of all time, but I enjoy it. Great versions of Crash ( honestly), Ants, Recently, #41, Lover Lay Down, Can't Stop (Love this song)

    Good gems, yes but not something I listened to much after the first couple spins. It's almost weird having a multi-track mix from that era. My ears are used to SBDs or tapes.
