Opinion: The 12/16 show at Rockafeller Chapel in Chicago is significantly better than the Carnegie Hall show.
And I love the Carnegie Hall show, but as someone who's obsessively listened to all of the live bootlegs of that leg of the tour, the 12/16 show is hands down better, musically, vocally, etc. It includes two additional new songs, including the hymn like opening track "Serious World." I remember how blown away I was the first time I heard it. It felt holy. This recording also contains the most heartbreakingly beautiful version of "Try As I May." Go right down the list and I trust many will agree. He sings the songs so much differently than the Carnegie Hall versions, highlighting how much they evolve as he plays them. These later versions are not just more polished, but are different in ways that make each song hit you so much harder on an emotional level. Has anyone else listened to the other bootlegs and had this experience?
