Answer
Hey Chris,

Thanks for the props & no worries... I'm glad you like & stoked for you to learn more about the best band that ever was: sublime

So, there are tons of sublime bootlegs because back in the day, that's how most of their unreleased music got out. Here's a site with most of the good bootlegs that you can check out & reference:

But, by far, the top 3 bootlegs to have (or to get) are:

Number One & undoubtedly the BEST: "Sinsemilla 86-96"

** Lots of RARE, unreleased tracks here.

Number Two: "It All Seems So Silly In The Long Run" and/or "Live Shooter"

** Some of the best Live recordings; including some of the "Last Show"

and Number Three: "Destroy" (Live at the KUCI Ska Parade)

** Insane Live show from the radio where the songs and the quality are unmatched

However, there is one more to add to the list. The BEST (& longest) sublime show that was recorded from soundboard & spans two CDs is the "Memories" 2 CD Set.

This is from November of 1994 so sublime were at the top of their game & they play not only the "hits" but super obscure songs like "Loser (I'm not a)" & "My Age". Get this one if you have the chance.

Unfortunately, this one goes for about $300.00 to $400.00 dollars, so good luck!

I hope this helps.

"All Sublime All The Time"

Peace,
