Looking back, I'd prefer the Tacoma 92 show over this one or even the 8/7/92 show (New Jersey Friday Night), as it featured a lot of the material from the '92 albums.

Regarding placing a hard limit on either the total number of recordings or the number of recordings per tour, my thought is that if you need more for a tour, such as 78 or 80-81, but less for something like VFC or Amnesty, that's how it should be. There are certainly more than 5 shows that would be considered "essential" from the Darkness tour, but 5 would easily be overkill for the other two I mentioned.

And, certainly, just like I did a few years ago, once you have the essential shows/recordings, you can easily come up with a list of "Other Recommended" shows.

Of course, keep in mind that there will not be a single list that everyone is going to agree upon.

One VFC show would be more than overkill.
