Favorite Show
Forums:
Do you have any concerts that really stand out over the others? (non Grateful Dead or GD side projects).
I keep thinking of what some of the best shows were that I walked out and was really impressed. So far these come to mind from the last few years:
Circles Around The Sun (with Neal Casal)
The New Stew (Bill Withers Live at Carnegie Hall tribute)
The Record Company
Weird Al Yankovic (I thought his band was really good at what they do).

I have only seen Phish 10 or so times over the years, but this show was probably my favorite from start to finish. No Quarter was in the 2nd set. I need to dig this one out and listen tonight.

When you saw Husker Du in 1987, were they still punk or had they switched to metal?
