Can anyone please help me find the best to versions from live performances of these two songs? I have many shows but have heard there are a couple of versions that might be better. Thanks for your input.

    Rats from 4/3/94 is great. As for a new version, the 7/23/06 is fantastic. Another version I like is Buffalo 96. 10/1/96 I think.


    2003 is full of great 1/2 Full's. 7/11/03 is enjoyable. 9/13/05 is also very good.
    '96 - 10/5
    '98 - 9/1 9/4 9/18
    '00 - 8/6 8/7 8/15 8/17 9/5
    '03 - 4/9 4/15 4/19 7/11 7/12
    '04 - 10/6 10/8
    '05 - 9/11 9/12 9/13 9/15
    '06 - 5/27 5/28 7/7 7/13 7/18 7/22 7/23

    1/2 Full from Bonner Springs, KS in 2003 is the best I've ever heard.

    Thanks for the input.

    I have also heard that a Florida version and a San Diego of 1/2 full 2003 and the E. Rutherford version of Rats on the last tour were very good. Any feed back on those. I am almost looking for a more "jammy/chaotic" version of 1/2 full. I absolutely love that song live.

    Thanks again.

    The best "Rats" from 2006 is 5/24 Boston IMO.

    In my opinion the best version of Rats is Boston 3 from 1994. Dave A rocks!

    The show is available here

    Incredible show! You are right, the 1/2 Full is amazing. The song selection from Riot Act and the setlist is incredible. I am suprised that I didn't get it when it came out in 2003. Thanks for the suggestion.
