DC1 II was amazing, and probably the set I've listened to most upon return. Caspian Waves Bug Bowie sequence was great, and I really loathe seeing Caspian. Star Lake was fantastic, to be sure, but DC1 definitely deserved higher.

Trey mangled Mike's in PA, and it wasn't until Light that things got going. At DC, the Mike's was ripping, the McGrupp contained an amazing and rare jam, and BOTT clocked in at 12 min. Add a Fishman song, and the heist of Trey's axe, and I think there is a hell of a lot that transferred to tape that rocks. Hell, it is more enjoyable on tape probably, because you likely aren't in 110 degree heat!

Oh yeah, did I mention Caspian > > > Bowie?

Tough task you had here, and I was intrigued by your stated constraints on judgement, wondering perhaps if you were Mr. Miner.

Great job!

Also loved "America was insulted." from the 4th.
