icculusFTW Cleary, we need an honorable mentions list here.

I agree with those saying that MPP1 really, truly does deserve to be on the top 10 list.

Also, Alpine 2 is completely absurd show -- from top to bottom -- that I'd also place, overall, higher than Nashville. It's just a much more complete show.

I personally feel 12-30-15 is getting a bit overpraised here -- the first set was nothing to write home about, and the debut in the middle of Ghost was a downright buzzkill. I adored the Gin, but its placement was not ideal. The second set didn't really have much flow, it was a bit halting -- and that really matters to my ears, at least. Compare that to, say, 12-29-13 set 2, and it's a night and day difference in terms of smoothly segueing between songs.

Last thing -- I think everyone is really overlooking 1/1/16. That second set is a thing of beauty. The Light alone is one of the most engaging jams of the year, and the whole set was a beautiful flow, from Disease> Dirt straight through to the glorious Slave. I know Theme and Halfway to the Moon are in there, but they both work perfectly in this particular set, I felt.
