This was a pretty good lunar eclipse, in that it was somewhat close to the center of earth's shadow but you can tell that it wasn't hitting the center of the shadow so some parts of the moon were always brighter and less-red. The next nearly-perfect eclipse where the moon really gets red is in 2018, but unfortunately that one wont be seen in North America. Not sure when the next perfect eclipse thats visible over North America will be.
edit: there will be a near-perfect eclipse where the middle of the moon almost hits dead center of the earth's shadow in Jun 2029, but you have to be on the edge of the east coast or south america to see it.
