Not too surprised the Chicago Wedge being that high up - it's a quite nice piece of business, if maybe not as complex as other jams from the tour (then again, neither is the SPAC Fuego...), and really does peak well. I'd say @CameToPlay is being harsh with his analysis; it's not like the Reading 20YL has gotten this much love, and I think they arrived at that segment quite organically. It's probably somewhere in my top 10, but if it's not top 5 material, that's just a measure of the tour's strength.

Now, the 7/20 Ghost being this low? That's something I'm ready to bust heads over.
I was being provocative. It deserves kudos for the neat/nifty/cool/surprising/fun/orginality factor (hmmm, maybe it is a top 10 jam). Plus it was a pivotal jam. The show could have gone in a different direction and The Wedge was getting stale in general. I thought the 2 versions played after this actually had a little more spark, perhaps because they took this one out for a ride. That said, I mostly prefer the great big jams from this summer more. Last night I listened to 7/30 Fuego, and 8/1 DWD for the 1st time, and man are those great. And there are a host of others, of course, most of which I have heard already. Curious whether 7/27 Tweezer would be #3 if it had gotten the same head start as the original 15. Looks like that and 7/11 Gin have made the most progression up the chain of the later entry jams.
