SteveZ98 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 According to Bootledz, it's the version on the Graf Zeppelin label: http://www.bootledz.com/mypicks.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZepHead315 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Haven't heard the Graf Zeppelin version, but Dadgad did an excellent remaster using the original vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All CDs come from the original vinyl. If you have a turntable , that's the way to go. If not, Graf Zep's release will be fine, but there are many remasters out there. Godfather put out both 9/13 and 14 71, and it was a good , lower priced release . Depends on your preferences....more high, lows, natural, EQd. Etc.

duckman Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I have a copy on the Cheap Moonchild label. Presumably a clone of Godfather. Great version and blows away my old 'GTCA' ( No Label) double disc from the mid nineties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't get much cheaper than Moonchild. Basically they just take torrented stuff and press some discs and put a little artwork in the tray. You could do that yourself if you have the know-how, and it doesn't take much. But if not then I suppose Moonchild is worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloading a torrent is always the best option seeing as many seem to rip their CD's these days amyway, why buy a boot CD that is probably made from a torrent or copied from another CD. Now if it's vinyl you're after that's another thing, for that I'd recommend a TMOQ on coloured LP's in a rubber stamped pastel coloured sleeve .

tmtomh Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Dadgad's 2010 24/96 vinyl rip is my go-to. Godfather's is nice, but dadgad's is a little better IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordev1977 Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I honestly don’t know why anyone would pay for bootlegs when they’re available online for free and there’s a bunch of different versions available too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Lees Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The two shows from Berkeley are fantastic. The Heartbreaker solo from 9-14-71 is, I think, the cleanest one I've ever heard. So when someone tells you Jimmy is sloppy, play them that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, but some people like to have the artwork, either that, or they don't know and don't want to bother learning how to download and transfer files , burn CDs etc. I can see paying for a bootleg if the company paid for the source and no one else has it...an exclusive. But it really doesn't make much sense to pay for stuff that's been around and easily available for years online. Having the vinyls in this case is nice and it still sounds as good or better than most CD releases. If you're into vinyl, GTC is best on LPs.

Autumn Moon Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 On CD I´d recommend Graf Zeppelin´s Going To California. It contains both nights in Berkeley, September 13 & 14 in excellent quality. On vinyl you can try the non label release Berkeley Daze 2nd Night from 2017. It is not that expensive & has awesome sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
