I'm partial to the first Floyd boots I ever heard back in the late 80s/early 90s:
Pepperland 1970-the sound quality isn't all that hot, but it's not too bad for 1970. Floyd have to restart Astronomy Domine three times due to power failures and get heckled by the crowd. After that, it's all smooth sailing with exemplary versions of Fat Old Sun, Cymbaline, etc. Love that show.
Oakland 1977: can't add much else. It sounds utterly fantastic even though there are a few bum notes throughout. But it beats the overtly clean stuff from Floyd/Roger Waters in the 80s/90s and beyond.
Nassau Coliseum 1975: a great performance and a really solid show too.
Since then, I've discovered dozens of Floyd boots, mostly audience recordings. Maybe it's a testament to Floyd's sound system, but so many of them sound really, really good for 70s AUD recordings. I really enjoy the Montreux 1970 shows, especially the Harvested versions. Then there's Boston 75, Chicago and Hollywood 72, MSG 77 and the San Diego '71 show as well as Berlin '71. Just too many great sounding shows out there.
