On Paper,the Second.and Since I Missed The Whole First One,im Voting For The Second..

[crimsonknuckles]

first run was fun(went to 2 shows) and full of killer jams but the second run had the same energy(went to one show) but i got to hang with some very nice people so that made the second more enjoyable!

[Todd]

Well, let\'s see......the second one.......because I was on it, of course





...But in all serness, not having seen any of the first one, I can only go by the fact that the second had some KILLER segues each night :drool: Can\'t wait to hear them again.

[davepeck]

no poll?

[Stephengencs]

I was lookin for more detailed replies from people who were at some or all of the shows......

Personally I still stick with my "The best Breakfast show is ALWAYS the last show they just played"....

as for the 2 separate runs... I would have to say the first one, because it was four days in a row.  a true test of endurance and a challenge to even the headiest fan.....Personally I would probably still be in the ICU if I was on either of those...
