Best pre-2005 shows?

What’s that Tapers Appreciation night from '02 maybe? Pretty sure it had Mirro, that’s a fun one. I can’t remember any standout jams per se but the segues are fucking wild.

Anyone know the 03 show where the second set is basically one long Front Porch?

Probably this one:

08.16.2003 Durty Nellie’s, Palatine, IL, USA

Set 1: Front Porch > Resolution > Front Porch[1] > Rollin’ Stone[2] > Front Porch

Set 2: 40’s Theme, 13 Days, Hurt Bird Bath[3] -> 2nd Self, “Jimmy Stewart”[4] > Push the Pig, Machine Gun[5] > Wife Soup, Trenchtown Rock[6]

Encore: Uncommon, The Song Remains the Same

Soundcheck: Front Porch, FF, Machine Gun, Front Porch. Front Porch was played numerous times.

[1] “Jimmy Stewart” with lyrics; with Miss Tinkle’s Overture teases
[2] debut, Muddy Waters
[3] with Dear Lord jam

[5] with Jake on keys with Joel

My first show, and yes I go back to the 1st set all the time. My personal GOAT Padgett’s and MO with the Buckethead sit-in. A pretty funny sweeping shot of me and my buddies on the DVD too during Padgett’s.

I also wish Jake would play the intro to Soul Food I like this every time. Great opener.

I’d put 2/28/04 & 2/29/04 into the discussion for sure.
