Greatest Set List of All Time?

[krusin1]

Okay.... I've been wanting to do some kind of "ultimate" set list thing for a while now. You know, something where as a group, BN'ers could vote on 30 songs or so in an attempt to assemble the perfect show.

Haven't figured out how exactly to do that one yet.

So instead, how about this?

Take a look at the Set List database. Choose the ONE show (from any time/date/place) that in your opinion is THE BEST.

The first 14 responses posted will get put into a new thread with a POLL. Then we can all vote and choose...

THE GREATEST SET LIST OF ALL TIME

Who knows... maybe Jimmy will see the "GREATEST SET LIST" and decide to replicate it.
(Doubtful... but ya never know. )

Here we go!

I was at that show and I remember walking out and thinking it was the tightest best performed show I think I'd seen from JB.

They brought it that night.

PS: That was the night I got in a fight with the angry ------- because I wouldn't sit down and she was too chubby to stand up all show.

The 2000 show was the first time I saw JB in Vegas and I walked away hating everything about the show.

Funny how this perception thing works.

OK, my favorite show I ever attended was the first show at Wrigley Field back in 2005. Got to hang with my dear phriend Paula, saw several BNers, and was floored by the encore with Jimmy & Mac sitting in the bleachers doing "City Of New Orleans".

In hindsight, the setlist itself was kind of "meh"....but the memories have overpowered that.

Day 2 at Wrigley was different for me...I worked backstage, fed the band before the show, and had an all-access pass during the show. Spent a few minutes backstage, but mostly hung out near 2nd base to watch the show.
