And since the second night was an even better show to begin with, my recommendation is to put that one on this list. One of the classic vinyl boots, and an absolutely mindblowing show.
I would not consider that one a Top 5 show for the River tour as I prefer the 1980's setlists, but definitely a "must have", if we expand the list to 10 per tour, and it would certainly make the Top 100. This show is a good example for the need to track down the best version of each show once the list is complete. Most of Ev2s releases are definitely an upgrade; for some shows, however, I think the original source or an alternative version is better than Ev2's, don't know about this one, though
I agree with you on the EV2 part.
But 10 shows for each tour? Start with 5 and if needed we could ad as much as needed.
Agree generally. I was only referring to a post from TD that for some tours a Top 5 may not be enough to include all "must-haves" and the River tour may be one of them. I certainly do not need more than 5 from HT/LT, TOL, GOTJ or the Seeger sessions...(no, not saying that these tours were equally bad, just examples)
