I was not at Charlottesville, but I can see this being true for some people. It's all subjective based on the show, the energy, your seats, etc.
The XL Center was like a freaking atom bomb going off for 3 hours. Setlists aside, the Hartford show packed so much energy the whole show....it was just relentless.
I looked back over the setlist for Hartford and was generally surprised. Chloe/Crown and Eruption --> ATBL jump off the page but the rest (speaking only on paper) seemed less than I remember. It was the energy that night that put that show into another league. I have never been to a show like that before. Worcester and Boston 2010 were hot and Wrigley before the delay had the potential but Hartford was the best crowd I've seen.
Hartford rivals Montreal '98 for the best crowd I have ever been a part of.
And aside from the couple of "whoa" moments you mentioned, how about:
Long Road --> Sometimes (totally set the mood)
Immortality (killer version)
ALONE
Come Back - I mean, who ever thought you'd be able to say a particular version of CB could be the best ever? Mike KILLED that ending solo.
GTF after ATBL....was PERFECT. Just when the place was rocking, bring on the musical wave that is known as GTF.
And then in the enccore:
Crazy Mary --> Go --> Alive --> F'in Up? C'mon.....that's nuts.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Hartford at all. And you are right, there is some great stuff there. But if we are picking nits (and we are of we are comparing one legendary show to another) I think I give the slight setlist edge to Worcester 1.

I say Hartford and Woo1 are #1 and #1 that I saw. Both were piledrivers.

Absolutely. Piledriver is a great word for those two shows.
Three shows...Chicago...Pittsburgh..

Semi Unique/fave songs played...
Worcester 1 Whipping>Man of the Hour>Fatal
Worcester 2 only Cropduster of the run, Other Side, and Daughter AND Baba for that teenage daughter of mine that I FINALLY converted to Ed.
Charlottesville ummm...what hasn't been said about this show? Seriously, check the setlist. THIS is THE boot to get. Ten rows up stage right on Mike's side, perfect energy. Perfect Encores. Even getting out of the parking lot was a breeze.
Phoenix 1/2 Full>Footsteps>Getaway>Hard to Imagine>Bee Girl>Nils Lofgren RITFW. Perfect Encores again.
Strange occurrences? Around the Bend for My boy Brian. Hard to Imagine for me. Footsteps for the Canadians. 1st show Worcester 1 opener Release/Long Road Last Show Phoenix opener Long Road/Release. Showing up to my seat in Phoenix wearing a New England Patriots t-shirt to find the guy next to me wearing a completely different New England Patriots t shirt, plus WAY too many other coincidences to list.
Got my fingers crossed for those two England shows in July.

If the rains hadn't come Wrigley would have been a top-5 all-time show.
