I listen to the band primarily through their bootlegs and I've heard easily over 150 shows. I have my own favorites, but I've always wondered what shows you guys appreciate. What shows do you like? What makes them unique? Here's some of my favorites I've found.

2005: Quincy 9/1, Philadelphia 10/3.
2006: Grand Rapids 5/19, Las Vegas 7/6.
2008: Tampa 6/12.
2009: Philadelphia 10/30, Adelaide 11/17.
2010: Kansas City 5/3, Hartford 5/15.

    There's a saying in the Grateful Dead community when asked what your favorite show is. 
    "The next one".

    i could make a list and break it down by year. But if I'm running out the door and need to grab some cd's.... It's the Gorge box set. Because the sound quality is superb. They are great performances with vast set lists. It represents all the studio albums I prefer. The protective box means it can take a beating in backpacks, glove compartments, or sitting outside on a camping trip.

    Benaroya will always be my most played

    Tokyo 03 will always hold memories for me as it got me into the band after randomly picking it up at walmart, pretty much only knowing even flow and corduroy at the time. No going back after release starts

    I would say Saratoga Springs and Hamburg are my favorites from 2000.
    You can't go wrong with any of Europe 06, especially the Italian shows. I also love the Gorge shows from 06.
    London, Hamilton, Halifax, Vancouver and Philly are my favs from 05.  
    I could go on and on. I listen to a lot of bootlegs.

    Saratoga is in my top 15 or so for sure.    Doesn’t get any recognition but such a good show.
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.
