That appears to be Top 10 by value of original vinyl version, and even then I'm not sure I'd agree

I believe my uncle has Zoom '76. It's a gold colored vinyl with no text on it however. So I'm not quite sure if it's real or not.

" It was tgen re-released a year later with the same sleeve but gold discs!" so there you go, re-released in 1995 with gold discs in Japan!

I stand corrected.

It's the Top Ten in Greg Brooks' opinion.

Definitely not the best bootlegs quality and performance wise...

I wonder if people fancy submitting their lists that fit the criteria above?

Top ten?
Golders Green'73- my fav! because of this naivety still present...
Tokio'76 (31st of March)
Houston'77
Copenhagen'78
Frankfurt'79
Hammersmith'79
Wembley Arena'80 (8-12)
Sao Paulo'81
Milton Keynes'82
Budapest'86
Knebworth'86

I know it's 11 but... couldn't decide which one shoulkd be dropped :) More performance than quality. If he quality was to be the main key- Hammersmith'75 would have to be there.

I assume the question marks are because you don't know of any boots from these tours? I know there are a few tracks supposedly from Adelaide in 76, but apart from that I don't think a full recording exists of any of their gigs here.

As for 85, there is at least one concert from Melbourne and one from Sydney going round..

If you have any Australian shows email me. Maybe we could do a trade.
