I can't argue too much with this list or with the 2015 tour ratings generally. But I do want to make a plea for folks to give the Grand Prairie, Texas show another listen. I've spent the better part of the last month re-listening to the entire tour on LivePhish+. I made playlist of my favorite songs from the tour, which includes a number of the ones mentioned here (e.g., Magnaball Tweezer/Caspian). But I have surprised with how many of my favorites come from the Dallas show, and it's one of the shows, along with Magna 2 and Mann 2, that I keep going back to. I think maybe it doesn't get more love because the middle of the first set is a little "meh." But it has one of the best four-song openings of any of the 2015 first sets: Tube; Guelah; PYITE; Steam (it was the only time they played Guelah all year). The last two songs of the first set are kick-ass versions of Divided Sky and Squirming Coil (I rank the DS as top three for the tour behind Magnaball and Kansas City, and Squirming Coil was another one they only played once all tour--beautiful Page solo to end the first set).

The second set started off with a scorching Chalk Dust followed by a raucous Simple and SITM. The second set ended with Julius and what I think was the best Hood of the tour. The encore had another rarity with The Connection, and then an upbeat close with First Tube. Add to the mix some synchronized bouncing by Trey and Mike, stir with some Fish on the vacuum, and what's not to love?

Definitely Top Ten material. I'd probably drop Nashville from the list to make room for Dallas. I love the Weekapaug and Mike's from that show, but overall the Dallas show, in the context of the entire tour, is more worthy. (I recognize I am obviously in the minority on this, judging by the ratings).
