FWIW, I agree with the vast majority of this. IMO, the top shows from this tour are pretty clearly Bethel2, Pine Knob, Blossom, Charlotte and Portsmouth. Bethel1 was indeed a great opener, but not quite at the level of the top 5 and MPP2 is another step down IMO.

Perhaps more controversially, I think this was a tour that peaked early. If I had to list my top 3 moments, they would be the Pine Knob DWD, Blossom When Harry Met Sally and Bethel2 Gin (and those are also my 3 favorite shows from this tour; Charlotte and Portsmouth, while incredibly fun shows just don't have as many musical highlights). My next level of favorites would include, in no particular order, Bethel1 KDF, GW Divided Sky, Portsmouth Sand, Charlotte Wolfmans and R&R > Ghost, PNC2 Tweezer -> No Quarter, Alph1 Gin > Light Up, Blossom Possum, Pine Knob CDT & Bowie and MPP1 R&R -> ABQ > Piper. Obviously the fact that we got Icculus and Harpua is huge, even if those aren't all-time versions of those songs.

Maybe I'm biased because I was at both Pine Knob and Blossom, but I think I'm more likely biased in what I look for in a show. Shows with the highest peaks and best jamming moments are nearly always my favorites over more "had-to-be-there" shows. You may think that's a silly or impossible distinction to make, which is fine. It just means we'll probably have different favorite shows.
