First off, the idea that the 9/1 Light, only one of the most gripping, intense, lift-you-off-your-feet jams they've played in the last for years, is overrated is ridiculous. It ranks among the very finest (i.e. Top 5) jams that they have performed since they've been back IMO. Take issue, if you must, with the first few minutes (it isn't bad by any stretch, but it isn't special either), but the last 15 min are pretty much unimpeachable and about as good as it gets as far as I'm concerned.

That said, 8/31 isn't overrated at all and almost has to be considered the best show of the three, even if you think (as I do) that the Light and Sand were the best two jams from Dicks. 8/31 was so good from start to finish and had four jams, any one of which would have been the highlight of over half of the shows this year.
