Actually 12/31 is another show I meant to mention that doesn't get the praise I think it deserves. The third set kind of goes off the rails, but the Emotional Rescue Opener and the Mike's Groove give you plenty to chew on. Are three set shows judged at a higher standard? The low ranking of 8/17 might suggest so. Put 12/31 I & II next to 12/29, for example. Having a third set is kind of a liability. More opportunity for greatest but also bigger (and likelier) window to show flaws, I guess...
