I listened to every show from last year, and I agree with most of the original, but I would argue, like some other folks above, that the Deer Creek run is tragically overlooked in this list. Not trying to bash the OP, but I want to make the case for two of the best shows I've seen...

As to DC night 1, set 1: Curtain With. Enough said.

Really the entire second set from night 1 is just phenomenal.

Mike's > McGrupp should at least be considered for unexpected segue. Who saw that coming?!?!

The BOTT jam is outstanding, and then follows with a seamless transition into a full band Psycho Killer tease and then the HYHU madness. That's got to have an honorable mention for best segue...

And, like other have said, the jam from Waves > Bug is pure bliss.

On to night two, how does Sweet Jane (unplayed since 1998) not get at least an honorable mention for bust out of the year? I was going apeshit in the lawn when the opened with CC, D&M, SJ. I mean great songs not seen since 2010, 2011, and 1998 in a row? What a way to start a show...

The DWD > Sand to open that second set is perfection. Despite what might be the worst segue of 2012, when Trey pulled the ripcord 4 mins into Twist for a completely unnecessary second set Rift, the Gin jam > Fluffhead that follows is so freakin' nasty...

Just would've liked to see more respect for these shows. That's all.
