Ziggy's, Winston-Salem, NC

Set 1: The Landlady > Runaway Jim, All Things Reconsidered, Foam[1], Sparkle, Stash, Fluffhead > Uncle Pen, NICU, David Bowie[2]

Set 2: Buried Alive > The Oh Kee Pa Ceremony > Suzy Greenberg, Poor Heart, Brother, The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday > Avenu Malkenu > The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday > My Friend, My Friend, The Lizards, Cavern > Cold as Ice > Cracklin' Rosie > Cold as Ice, Possum[3]

Encore: Sleeping Monkey

Encore 2: Chalk Dust Torture

Set e3: Harpua[4]

[1] All Things Reconsidered tease.
[2] Simpsons and Oom Pa Pa signals.
[3] Random Note and two Aw Fuck! signals (including one from Mike).
[4] Narration set in the "teeming jungles of Brazil," special guest appearance by Marley as "a vicious, flesh eating animal." Theme from Brazil teases, full-band Fire tease, and high-pitched "Brazil" squawks from Fishman.

Notes: Foam contained an All Things Reconsidered tease. Bowie included Simpsons and Oom Pa Pa signals. The second set was preceded by birthday wishes for a fan named "Amy" and a remark that Buried Alive was inspired by Jimmy Herring. Possum included a Random Note and two Aw Fuck! signals (including one from Mike). Harpua was set in the “teeming jungles of Brazil” and included a special guest appearance by Marley as “a vicious, flesh eating animal.” There were theme from Brazil teases, a brief full-band Fire tease, high-pitched “Brazil” squawks from Fishman, and a preview of the Clifford Ball motto (four years early) as Trey introduced Page as “a beacon of light in the world of flight.”  The Aquarium Rescue Unit was the opening act.

I think 12/30/97 is a pretty widely accepted "best" version. 11/2/98 I'm not counting because come on, the entire Dark Side of the Moon? It's like comparing Cypress with any 2 set show. Cypress and 11/2/98 always win.

12/30/97 has an amazing story with a perfect mix of humor and maxed out ridiculousness topped off by Tom Marshall appearing to do 500 Miles. It wins.

Also, 12/30/97 is my only Harpua so don't take anything I said seriously.

edit: @superballin - the olive loaf/Lost in Space story was the show I just spoke of.

This thread has gone far too long without getting hit by a comet: 7/16/94.

That version and 12/30/97 are my go-to Harpuae.
