Does something like this exist? There are multiple boots for many concerts; many concerts not recorded at all.

Maybe a collaborative effort like this could be made. Perhaps organized as just a list of all performances (Princevault -> All Concerts), and then figure out a way to add the bootleg title next to each date that has a known recording? And for those with multiple sources/releases, list the best sound quality/newest remaster.

Thanks for the link! I've been away from the P community for a long time. Just making sure - the bootlegs listed for each date are the currently best releases?

I don't know about best releases and all that. But it does tell (either in artwork or the listing itself, I think) if it's a soundboard or not. I hadn't realized just how many shows over the years had been recorded until I started peering thru that site.

Yeah really thorough bootleg lists from traders of most popular artists were pretty damn complete by the mid 90's. Someone like Prince, they would have 90% of the publicized tour right after it happened, and it was more about the hand full of missing dates to complete collections, or upgrading what they had. The aftershows and soundchecks rounded out over time.

Needless to say, this list is just for the more circulated shows.
