Anchorage, Alaska, 6/21/80. (It was featured on the homepage when I first logged in.)
The northernmost show ever, as far as I know, and with quite the cosmic vibe in keeping with the summer solstice. A Playing in the Band jam for the ages, a setlist I love. This is really a don't miss.
Since I got on the bus about six months later, I didn't see this show. Of the ones I did see, the ones I'd most like to see formally released, though I'd settle for downloads:
9/11/81 at the Greek (my SECOND show)
5/21/82 at the Greek
I think they're more candidates for download than CD just because they're the darlings of my idiosyncratic tastes rather than known all-time greats. E.g. the latter I particularly loved at the time because the setlist seemed to be a conversation as it played out. But there's a little riff in the UJB in the 5/21 show that I sing to myself to this day, and I haven't listened to it for eons. The tape is a tad battered...

Of course we want it all now, but where would you start?
