I've been digging into a lot of 1988 lately, so this comes at the right time for me.

I agree that all of us should listen to at least a few of these shows to get a feel for the roots of the band. The Gamehenge and Junta material is still very fresh and new, some of the pieces and parts of the songs are not all there yet, and the stage banter is priceless. The cover songs that fill out the set lists are still well in rotation in 2012, which surprised me a little. In a way it seems as though the band returned to their roots this past summer tour.

A big shout out to @SlavePhan for all the reviews that have been posted so far, including 1987 shows as well, but there are still a few shows that don’t have any reviews so let’s get cracking on that.
