For 2000, Columbus night 2 would be nice. And for something from the winter tour, 12.4.2000 is one I'm hoping for.
From 2003, Darien and Cincy both pop out at me.

Agreed . Ive actually been listening to the Gorge 2001 shows. I know 2001 gets much grief here , and much deserved, but these shows were very very good IMO As good as 2000 ? No , but very good nonetheless . I believe 2001 has just 1 LT release. 2 overall . Maybe a Gorge 2001 release is in order . I prefer N2 slightly over N1 (even though N1 has a better set) . N3 Dave has a frog in his throat so that is out. Either N1 or N2 should get a release IMO .

N1 and N2 are summed up with one word . Roi . He always sounded great, no question, but these shows he was just on fire . Period. Look at this opening run. JTR , Granny, Crush , Fishtender . So many great tunes . Crush is perfection. Say Goodbye, The Stone . Love it.
DDTW is an absolute beast this night. Tawatha sounds so intense , she's screaming her head off and definitely adds to DDTW . Afterwards Carter says "That was burning, that was hot !!" . One of the many things I enjoy about IEMs is hearing Dave and Carter's banter before and after songs.
The final seconds of Sleep To Dream Her are pure magic . My wife was walking by and said "Ah...thats definitely Roi". Indeed. Theres no question a fire within the band this night , and N2 . Dave is very into it , and it shows. What You Are has the long intro , and sounds awesome. An 18 min Two Step ends the set. Unfortunately Dave is burnt out N3, his voice is shot. Still a solid show but not close to the fire of N1 and N2 .

Great opening run. Billies , Warehouse, OSW, BOWA. Fool To Think Ive always enjoyed . Outstanding version of Seek Up . Roi is amazing all night. One of only 2 shows with Heartbeat Jam for 2001 . LL are present yes, but they actually don't annoy here . BOWA sounds great with them , as does Fool To Think and Space Between . Awesome Lover Lay Down . Too much ends it. Really like this show.
Bonus disc has endless goodies to chose from . Here a solid disc if N2 was released .
