Hmmmm, no love for VA Beach?
:Bites tongue: A promise not to bitch is still a promise…for this round.
This is kind of the weakest match-up in the tournament I think.
I’ve never been gaga over VABeach’98, but I have loved Dayton '97.
I like the day before VA Beach a lot more, so I got to go with Dayton.
Yeah I agree. To me the best part of the VA Beach show is the Terrapin Station. I went with Dayton.
i LOVE both shows, but dayton has it. love the gin from VB.
12/7 – Damn, what a 1st set!
I would still consider this a good match-up even without the Terrapin encore. The Gin, Bowie, AC/DC Bag, and YEM are top-notch. In fact as I’m not totally gay over the Dead I don’t even consider that as the highlight of this show. More like the icing on the proverbial cake.
That being said, yeah Dayton 97 is pretty fucking sweet so I’m going with Dayton.
I always feel like 12/7/97 is overrated, unless I’m actually listening to it. I gotta give props to that show, it is too solid to vote against.
I’m not totally gay over the Dead either. So they could have encored with something else and I still would like this show…just not as much as 12/7. Underrated Reba and nice Wolfman’s->Boogie On, among the other highlights.
they could have played farmhouse for an encore and 8/9/98 would still be a sick show. terrapin was a bonus. i’m still voting for dayton straight through to the end though.
::waits for neil to comment on dayton slave::
Best. Slave. Ever!
thereee it is…
Yeah I’m not some gigantic Dead fan either to be honest. I use Ship Of Fools as my name because I love the song, not really because I’m a Deadhead or anything. But that Terrapin Station gives me chills when I listen to it all the same. More than anything, the crowd reaction is just so powerful.
I’d do Donna. So I’m not gay for them either. That’s why I’m a nutter for 12/7
In 1971 with my time machine hot tub.
