I've found the Birmingham 30/4/12 to be the best sonically. What shows have others heard, and what are your thoughts on how they are?

I've found the Birmingham 30/4/12 to be the best sonically. What shows have others heard, and what are your thoughts on how they are? I have them all that have been uploaded, maybe six or seven in all in fact 2 of Birmingham, but the only one I have listened to is Newcastle. I understand a few since then may be even better sounding, particularly the second Birmingham, all in good time. The Manchester I did listen to was more than sufficient sonically, but I would be a little disapointed if that was as good as it got, and, per usual in recent decades, its not. Of course I hope they make a standard live release of this tour, listening to a bit of the live Orchestral cd from a few years back, whatever else one makes of it, it is a sparkling recording. Dare I say a nearly immaculate back to back to back reading of Mother Goose, Bouree and Boris Dancing. Maybe one other song in there to break up the flutiness but it was excellent. Plus that recording features some of the examples, like Mother Goose, where not only is his voice not a drawback, in some respects I prefer it to that of his younger self. Other times he sounds like his head has turned into an enormous nose, but still his own. But at least he keeps his nose hairs clipped as any man of his station should.
