I think I am in agreement with your order :thumbsup I really only listen to RR95 and LC regularly anymore though.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

Respectfully, no way Folsom is better than Chicago.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

After hearing how much of Boyd was overdubbed in the studio LiC lost it's luster for me.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

I think critically, from outside impartial observers, the band would be more remembered for the Central Park Concert as a live release than either RR95 or Listener Supported.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

I like a variety of things over other things on any given day.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

I really only listen to the Last Stop from LiC since it's the best crescendo hit recorded of that song. Pretty meh on the rest of it. Would rather listen to any of the other 98 releases.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

The best this band has sound other than maybe 2004

Dave’s Martin guitar shines, btcs was still young and songs like ddtw were more relaxed. Definitely a jazzy type.

Best memories watching this on vhs growing up too at the time and solidified my fanhood along.

Would probably agree its the best release

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

RR 95 all the way
LS is solid
RR 05 get the fuck out

RR 95 was mixed on the fly too vs the others that were mixed in post
Huge difference in talent needed for that

LS does have some better “jams” but RR is solid all the way through

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

I wish we would have gotten more releases with more unique names. Folsom was going to be called Open Up The Curtains for example. Too bad they stopped trying to name shows for release. Listener Supported is just a cool name for that show.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

That wasn't RR, that was their scrapped proposed second release, Live at The Flood Zone, which later became a DMBLive release http://www.dmbalmanac.com/TourShowSe...=51&where=1993

Also, why the hate? In the spotlight, life is so peachy!

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

I agree totally. LS is the best sounding mix to me. I've come to believe that 1999 was the true peak for the band in terms of sound and "style" of play, and this show captures it perfectly. Rapunzel, #41, and Two Step from this show are some of my favorite versions ever; Leroi on #41 always brings a smile to my face and makes me feel like he's still here with us.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

why? who gives a shit? you weren't there. it's a collection of noises thrown together and then broken up into song-length segments. I don't care where the noises were made, I care how they sound, and LiC sounds great.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

This is actually a really good point that makes me reconsider my ranking...

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

LOL

No, I wasn't there. Doesn't matter. It's not a true representation of the show. If I wanted perfect performances I would listen to the albums.

Good for you dude, glad you like it :thumbsup

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

I mean, fair enough, but if you care about "true representations of the show," don't listen to any live releases. tapes only for you.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

Yeah that's primarily what I listen to when possible. A lot of excellent tapes out there. But your point is fair, I know edits/overdubs are made on all live releases. LiC was just more egregious.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that the majority of live releases have a fair amount of overdubs to make them sound like a band is the greatest live band ever that never make any mistakes.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

Spotlight's a turd. I'm glad Dave realized it and put the kibosh on it. Help Myself fills the same void and is infinitely better.

Interesting, though. I didn't realize the '93 show was being considered. Makes sense, though.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

To me, Listener Supported and Central Park are the band's best releases.

Listener Supported was, like some here, the show that made my fandom explode. Also cool that I live 30 min from this arena and the NJ Devils played there at the time and it was right in the middle of their 3 cup dynasty which made it so much cooler that my favorite band was playing there. You can see some of the Devils banners a few times during the show.

Re: I like Listener Supported More than Red Rocks
 

Good point about the Martin Guitar. I am a Taylor fanboy... but Martin is similar. Not really a fan of the Rockbridge sound.
