I tried but its an exercise
I tried but its an exercise in futility.
If you can pick a single golden set, God bless ya. My brain just sizzled to a light crisp trying to come up with one.
I try to remember killer shows I listen to, to pass on to the list, but then I forget to, then I forget the show. I even try writing em down, but then I lose the piece of used paper towel I wrote em on.

i'd proffer that the first set, though on paper looks just OK, it was a lot better in person and that from the next to last song pairing of set one ' Victim > weirdness > Dont Ease Me In ' on through ' And We Bid You Good Night ' was all FIRE...
sat about three or four rows up from the floor, center, back of lower bowl and got transported to dimensions undefinable by words alone...

Ok mike I'll give it another
Ok mike I'll give it another shot. I'm kinda partial to set 2 from the Glen soundcheck, it doesn't leave my rotation for very long. A couple others from 73 really ring my bell too. Then there was that 72 waterbury dark star set that was sumthin from another time and space. Can't forget a few from 77 that were other worldly as well. And once Brent felt at home in his seat it opened up a whole new chapter of holy WTF did I just hear. But there's so many its almost impossible to nail down just one set.
Are there any shows y'all can think of that are the worst shit you ever saw or heard them play ? I don't think I ever left a show thinking boy did that hurt. The band humped a lot of shows in their career, there might be one or two that sounded like a stubbed toe.

Two reviews from Setlists.net. By far the worst show I ever saw. Look at that set list, horrible. This was the worst show I'd ever witnessed.

I guess I would pick
I guess I would pick something pretty dynamic. I assume the desert island would have an amazing sound-system, with massive subwoofer?
Maybe the 2nd set of 8-4-76. I always dug Phil's prominence in that mix.
Or maybe 3-1-69?
Not sure how long I'd last on a desert island anyway...
