    Sea 2 then Krakow..  Sea 2 gets my vote for the length of the show (3.5), the fantastic guests, introduction of Missing (which astounded the crowd), and an outrageously good main set. 

    I second this. I don't know if Seattle 2 can be topped.

    And Krakow -- again, stunning setlist, and the city itself is so, so beautiful. That was a special show.

    Edit to add: I've been to Prague, Krakow, Berlin, and Seattle 1&2 this year, going to Fenway shows too.
    Wow that list of gigs  is very impressive and your comments hold more weight than those of a non-attendee imho.  We were only at Seattle 2 and thought it was FANTASTIC. Would have loved to get Wash or Hard to Imagine as we heard Oceans in Vancouver 2013 but this is just hair splitting. After Footsteps(perfect as it was so early in the set list) it was pretty much cake for me and 35 more songs is a lot of cake).I have to remind myself to enjoy what this band decides is right for that evening and that we should be extremely greatful that there is such an incredibly deep catalogue of material that I would love to hear every show.

    I haven't heard most of them yet, went to 3 and enjoyed them all.
    Have a feeling Seattle 2 is gonna be right up there after getting to listen to all of the boots, but I hope everyone enjoyed their show(s) as much as those of us there enjoyed that one.

    Yeah wrigley shows were interesting. I was only at 1 but 2 has the better setlist.  It sounds from what I read and the periscope last night that the band played/sounded better night 1 but the setlist was better night 2?
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    I was at both and I’d say the band played better overall N1 but there was something about N2 that made it special. The way they came out on fire after the rain was incredible. The band and crowd were both fired up. Eddie was on a mission. Setlist wise...both were pretty damn good imo. Both great shows.

    Of the shows that I have been to I would put them in this order with the top 3 too close to call. Hoping Fenway bumps them all back a spot or two. 

    1A. Seattle 2
    1B. Berlin
    1C. Krakow
    2. Wrigley 2
    3. Prague (fantastic show just a small step back from the others)
