Pop recordings 1960 – 2005, good sense of acoustic

This implies that a reasonable bootleg often sounds better than an authorised recording. Most of the small number of bootlegs I’ve heard were dominated by crowd noise, so I gave up on them.

Can you name some that are good from 2-3 different genres?
Not that you own them of course.

I'd stick with what I suggested. The crowd noise is much less of an issue with GD recordings since they set up dedicated recording spots that are not in the middle of a crowd.

Now jazz with a natural acoustic, that's much easier, but I suppose it's not what you're looking for.

Hey SY
are you the SY I saw in the Haight Ashbury in the summer of love, jiving to the Grateful Dead?

Nah, in those days, I was hangin' at the Famous Ballroom in Baltimore, grooving to Dizzy Gillespie and Sun Ra. I even showed up in a Sun Ra video.
