@GeorgeBailey 10/6/18 with the jazzy sax
I've been trying to avoid being the one to upvote all of the suggestions so other people will participate, but this one has sat long enough and I'm a Legend fan, so just added.

Electric taco stand , 2/16/2019
The version was dynamite
That was the 11th time that during one of their sets i got a version that tune.( It came into rotation again on the 2/24/2019 opening 2nd set progressing into LA FADEWAY. Which for the 12 th time that was great. But not top 3 of 12. ) But the Athens 2/16/2016. Fabulous, energy in a whole nother gear. #11 just needs one of ones gone. #1 version and sick tune.
Theoretically If you're saying best song , that being .
Music Notes start and music notes come to a hault!
Then this tune might take the cake and eat it too.All my friends >Beejam> electric taco stand >Alternate Ending >electric taco stand>Mad World
"All MF's Bee Electric Taco Altering Stand World."
Best tune. HaELECTRIC TACO STAND 2/16/2019. Don't let the flys in while listening or hit your chin on the floor

Tampa was real good , but the sound of the venue would unfortunately take all those sick jams for the Bday. Out of the running.

@GeorgeBailey awesome thx man
-
2/27 Bee Jam. Multiple movements, cathartic peak
2/28 ATW. Several movements with a super unique soundscape in the middle (slow, ambient space with drum pad, like some 2012/2013 jams) and a huge Plans-esque peak. -
listened to 10/29/16 over the weekend and i'll nominate dis go in 5?
sandwiched between a great gw and gets really nice and melodic before going back to beast mode and the gw bookend
the ghostbusters is stellar as well, and throw ltlo in there while we're at it
-
@Night-Train That's a good Dis Go In 5 but I think the 3/27/15 is better and the 30 min Backdoor Funk from the same show is one of my favorites
-
@BlaiseStafford listened to them back to back, the vegas one is great but since they both go super hard i'll take the last exit version for being one of the only versions i can recall w that really blissed out middle section and factoring in the galisteo way on either side of it, which when taken as a whole is an awesome, awesome jam
-
I'll submit this... ETS > Alternate Ending > ETS from Athens (2.16.19)
-
@BlaiseStafford That whole show is fantastic
-
New here. Saw my first spafford concert in atl on 2-17-19 with my son. After listening to a few shows I think exodus and weasel were unbelievable...I'm fairly new to spafford..is there 1 or 2 shows considered the best that are on nugs? I'll add that legend was great as well.
-
@tiger97 "best show" is obviously subjective. My picks are on the jammy side.
https://play.nugs.net/#/catalog/recording/18515
10/19/2017 - prob my vote for best show of all time, or at least "modern" times. The hour-long opening jam is one of the most creative and evocative pieces of music I've ever heard, and the second set is no slouch, with a top 3 of all time BDFhttps://play.nugs.net/#/catalog/recording/20665
11/15/2018 - there were about 20 people at this show which contributed to an intimate and personal vibe. The band seemed utterly comfortable. Minor sound issues unfortunately.https://play.nugs.net/#/catalog/recording/20686
11/17/2018 - Fall tour closer. A bit more "song"-y. Great versions of every song, tasteful covers, triple encore, what more can you ask for?https://play.nugs.net/#/catalog/recording/21386
2/8/2019 - my pick for best show of Winter tour... so far
I'll stop there for now, haha.

2/22/19 tampa space gadget hot damn!
-
A couple all-timers:
2019-02-06 Mind's Unchained
2019-03-14 Alternate Ending -
America > MITM from 3/16 was a great sequence.
But last night's Funkadelic was something else.. the band was just entirely locked in to this pulsing groove. That was just some damn cool music.
-
3.15.19 Galisteo Way
-
@brink Uh... yeah.. with the Double Time around it, that's one of the best jams of the tour. So much energy.
-
The Porland Dirt Bath encore is the best version so far I think. I believe that won’t be the case by the end of the year.
