first states-side show I saw will always stick out as a sweet one, 07-04-89 Buffalo

personally I'm really partial to those kinda sketchy early 80s shows but as far as recordings go thats like asking me what my favorite food is, depends on how I feel that day

This is too tough, and almost easy but not really.

I am going to have to say 10-16-89

Sentimental reasons, but I wasnt there.

"Oh the Dark Star, Jesus Christ, the Dark Star."

Perfect MIDI sensibility from Jerry.

Perfect

10/16/89 (Mon) Meadowlands Arena - East Rutherford, NJ

Set 1: Picasso Moon, Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo, Feel Like A Stranger, Good Time Blues, Built To Last, Stuck Inside A Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again, Let It Grow, Deal

Set 2: Dark Star > Playing In The Band > Uncle John's Band > Playing In The Band Jam > Drums > Jam > I Will Take You Home > I Need A Miracle > Dark Star* > Attics Of My Life > Playing In The Band, E: We Bid You Goodnight

(Realistically, 03-22-90 will always be The One though....as well as too many shows from 72-74.)
