I *LOVE* Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, but since it's all arbitrary placement in a way, both second sets from Deer Creek deserve Racer 5 imo because that's an even better beer.

The McGrupp is truly amazing, and the spectacle of the Weekapaug after Bike really has no comparable moment of which i'm aware. And, if Bug is the heel, it's not an Achilles'. The segue from Waves is amazing and could not have found a better denouement. Furthermore, Caspian before Waves is a great combination, for obvious lyrical reasons, and Caspian was a nice break to talk about the silliness of Weekapaug, not to mention a sweet dance jam picked up out of thin air once instruments returned to their normal hands.

Oh yeah, i only caught Deer Creek first leg so everything i've just written is probably moot!

But, thanks for the nerd-out. Need more of it... What about a ranking for first sets? Then a combination of the two rankings for complete shows? Just dreaming...
