As of now it looks like the majority of the US tour is finished for 2006.

Ive looked at the setlists, read the fanviews, and have come to my conclusion that these are the top 5 best of the tour.

5. Boston 2
4. Gorge 1
3. Grand Rapids
2. San Francisco 3
1. San Diego


I think San Diego was the best show of this tour, with SF 3 being a close 2nd.

what does everyone else think?

    I was at SF 1, 2, and 3

    and 3 was by far the best.
    Red Mosquito, In Hiding, Down, Crazy Mary, the destruction of mikes guitar!

    I even think night 1 had an advantage over night 2.

    I saw all 5 shows that week from SD to SB, including the Ford show. Santa Barbara was a good show but probably my least favorite of the five.

    Plus, the opening set was not acoustic. In fact the songs like Black, Crazy Mary, etc were all played in their normal arrangements. It was a sit down set and it was quite good. Definitely an interesting way to start the show. But as a whole, the show did not compare with especially SD and the HW club show.

    Judging by someone who was there. Boston 1+2, Albany, Portland, Gorge 1+2 all better then San Diego which was better then Hartford and Vegas from the shows I saw. I don;t know how you can judge from setlists only, if you listen to the boot that might help, watching a DVD helps a lot, being there is a whole other story.

    SHOW COUNT: (170) 1990's=3, 2000's=53, 2010/20's=114, US=124, CAN=15, Europe=20 ,New Zealand=4, Australia=5
    Mexico=1, Colombia=1

    This isn't the top 5 of all the shows, but I saw 5 shows and this is how they played out:

    5. Las Vegas
    4. Portland
    3. Gorge 2
    2. San Diego
    1. Gorge 1

    I also have the boot for Grand Rapids and think it is top notch.

    If you look at the Fanview ‘Views’ overall World Wide Web curiosity rates this one best.

    It only took two days for the Gorge I ‘Views’ to surpass all other 2006 Leg II Fanview threads.

    My personal favorite of 2006 was George I. Hands Down!

    If you look, you'll see the last five shows in my signature were the best five shows of the tour. Okay....so what if they're the five shows I attended? So what?
