ISO: Recommendations for Shows to Download

[Vacubsfan]

Hey all, In my boredom over the last year, I've really ramped up my collection of various taped shows (in addition to filling out my officially released show collection). I've compiled a list below of all the full shows I've downloaded from each year and am looking for recommendations for any of your favorite shows (or shows you think are good with great audio quality) that I can move along to. For purposes here, assuming the following:

- Love DMB, D&T, D&F and Dave solo shows in their own rights
- Interested in the best across DMB 1.0 - 4.0 (or whatever you call the eras)
- I have access to / own all officially released shows and all Sirius/You Tube shows
- I also have a handful of compilations from various posters here (best of this tour or that tour, etc) but looking for what you think is either missing from my catalog or your favorites

Thanks in advance for anyone who would weigh in.

If you don't have anything from Fall 2005 I have almost the whole tour and I say get that one.

Anything taped by Eric Naylor in the early / mid 2000s. Love his recordings.

Hi VaCubsFan,

Looks like a really solid collection. I’m in pretty much the same place as you collection-wise. I had to search deep to come up with something you don’t have that might be worth checking out, but here are a few recommendations from my neck of the woods:

6.19.99 (Columbus N2): Fantastic setlist and the band brought the energy that night. Warren Haynes gives a memorable performance on the Watchtower encore.

6.13.17 (Clarkston, MI): first d&t show to open with Ants Marching, which gave it a really unique vibe. A great setlist with some great tour rarities including Bismarck and Dreaming Tree.

Anyway, neither of these are “must own”, but both are worth a listen, especially for someone in your situation. It’s been years since I’ve listened to that Columbus tape, I’m going to have to dig it out of my basement tomorrow and give it a spin.

Cool. Thank you! Grabbed both this morning and will give a whirl.

I will definitely seek those out. Already grabbed a random one from 2004 (7-13 (Darien) to listen to. Thanks!
