Semi-Definitive Top 100 Concert Boots List

Semi-Definitive Top 100 Concert Boots List

This is my 3rd iteration of a top concert boots list:
My 1st atttempt at a top 75 list was based solely on my own opinion, so there were some errors.
My 2nd attempt at a top 75 list was mostly substantiated by compiling the ratings of 7 different people (Tatterdemalion, Harry, Trancer, Mr Scully, Hangman, Tilo Magnet and Guitar Hero). Unfortunately listing the ratings of seven people in the text format of a messageboard was very messy and virtually unreadable.
This 3rd iteration expands the list to an even top 100 and summarizes the ratings of seven people into 3 columns:
"x" - Number of people who rated the concert EX- or better.
"+" - Number of people who rated the concert VG+ or better.
"#" - Number of people who rated the concert (Most concerts were not rated by all 7 people).
...
x + # Concert

14.08.2006 22:44		 How the concerts were selected ...
25 concerts from the News of the World tours and earlier were selected based on 3 or more people rating a concert as VG+ or better.
64 concerts from the Jazz thru Magic tours were selected based on 3 or more people rating a concert as VG+ or better, BUT were also rated as EX- or better by at least two people.
The remaining 11 concerts were selected based only on my humble opinion.
