The song gets hyped for its rarity. But I've caught it pretty much every tour I've attended. Best one was my first - SPAC '09; the tease in the encore, then thinking Watchtower closed, only to hear Carter still drumming lightly, and then BAM - Halloween!

After that, it hasn't wowed me. The double encore in '13 was cool though. Balcony was shaking and bouncing big time
That was my first time hearing it as well. Another version that comes to mind that I really enjoyed was D&T at the Oakdale in Wallingford CT in 2011. It was my first D&T show and the first time Halloween had been played D&T since 1999. It was brought upon by a crowd chant after Dave told a story about his kids on Halloween.

As a side note, I will be in the SPAC balcony for the first time ever on N1 this year. Been going to spac since 2008 and somehow have never been in the balcony. Looking forward to it.
