For the record, MSG1 Set 2 was one of my favorite sets of the year, but my opinion is that the show as a body of work doesn't belong in the Top 10, especially over a complete show like MPP1.

That's certainly a defensible view. As a group, we tend to favor tent-pole jams and complete second sets. When I look at MSG1 vs MPP1, I think the Gin, which is merely the second best jam of MSG1 would likely be the top jam of MPP1. As @J_D_G said, that's just incredibly hard to overcome. Having said that, if you read the intro, we also said that in many ways deciding between shows #5-14 was really tough and the order of those shows should be taken with a grain of salt.
