Out of the 40 something shows I've been too, I cant decide.

Drive In Drive Out

Say Goodbye

That was a nice shocker.

But for the purposes of the thread (1-2 punch)

Nancies-->
Warehouse Never, ever bad. always awesome.

Gorge N3 2016 (not a 1-2 punch but couldn't leave ants out)

[coldengrey12]

I just went with the first pair to come to mind, which is

The Dreaming Tree
The Last Stop

From 9.3.06, although Dave forgets the words at the top of the second verse in DT

[Bjkennedy24]

Looking through my shows, I'm having a hard time topping #41 into Lie In Our Graves with Bela Fleck at Fiddlers Green in 8/28/15.

But my best 7 song run is unquestionably Chicago Caravan (7/10/11).

To start the show:

One Sweet World
Bartender
Say Goodbye
Best of Whats Around
Captain
Shotgun
Warehouse

A few standouts over the course of 30 shows:

8/6/02
#41 -> Say Goodbye this was exciting to see them play it like it's on Crash, as I never had before)

6/25/08
Seek Up
Two Step - Hands down the most overlooked, and greatest Two Step of all time.

7/13/16
Say Goodbye
Song That Jane Likes
This just stood out because 1. I couldn't believe they opened with Say Goodbye (first time since 7/5/00) and 2. to follow that with a classic like Jane just set the tone for one of the best DMB shows I have been to in years. That show truly felt like the old days when I saw them in college. Would love to see this show get a release.

9/4/16
Typical Situation
The Last Stop
Ants Marching
I mean come on...last show of the tour at the Gorge before a year off? What else could you want in a closing run?

The ultimate goes to 6/24/03 though. After an incredible night before, a solid 7 song opening run (minus If I Had It All, which I'm not a fan of), we got this 3 song explosion to the face.

Lie In Our Graves > Last Stop Riverbend 2016. My 1st last stop after 25+ shows.

Best run was probably opening run of Chicago Caravan N3.

One Sweet World
Bartender
Say Goodbye
Best of What's Around
Captain
Shotgun
Warehouse

Side note: the run above contains 5 of my current top 10 songs.

I think the all time best has to be Central Park Cortez the Killer then Jimi Thing

However,
for me,
DTE 2014 6/25/14 (very underrated show)
Acoustic Two Step then Snow Outside to start the show. Probably one of my favorite shows of all time.
