@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.

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.
