For about a decade starting in '95, each and every one, due to the Nag Champa incence.

As to rule #2 - you're freakin' kiddin', right? If we are to chose his best-ever show, why exclude over a decade - over 1000 shows??

Because 99% of it has been embarrassing toilet, that's why. Happily, you missed his greatest years.

Can I use that?

The electric half in Manchester is the greatest electric set he's played, that I've heard. I also love his totally stoned acoustic half at the final RAH show. Those two are comprehensivelyunbeatable, in tandem.

Happily, apparently, you continue to do so. Wouldn't want to run into you at a gig. :roll:

Yes, happily I miss out on Nutter Squad and 17th rate Bob. Look forward to following your next 15-page argument. :mrgreen:

Your loss.... whatever.

The real question is who arthurprecarious thinks he is to decide for all of ER that all of Bob's shows past 2000 suck. With this, I'd like to nominate the first show of 2001, even though that means missing out on the "LAT" songs.

Just name a show from before 2000 that you enjoy listening to more than others.

Johanna Parker

You're not my father, right? Even if you were, you couldn't tell me what to vote for. You're not telling me what I can and cannot like. I just strongly oppose to those writing off ModBob just because it's the popular thing to do. With this, Milan summer '11.

Joanna - I am the Deputy Universal Judge of all Things Dylan (and if you don't believe me ask Benny Boy). As for your nomination - I have to refer you to rule 2. Your nomination is therefore rejected.

Bennyboy

Colonel Precarious is indeed my deputy and has proven his mettle in many a battefield over the years.

You should follow his orders.

what happened to that great man, british gent i beleive, who used to holler at shows
'bob they dont deserve you'? a great man well ahead of his time, i hope hes still around.

Just fucking name a show from before 2000 that you enjoy listening to more than others. It's not bollocking rocket science, you stupid bint.

Cool and considerate as per usual. Fool.

Lambchop was the hollerer - he died a few years ago. He sold his entire collection. I have to refer you to rule 1. This isn't complicated.

i think i'm listening to one of my favorite post 2005 shows right now. i don't know how it falls on the spectrum of greatest ever. it's a very difficult question because of the songs available at a given time, the way certain songs have evolved up to that point, and the drugs he was or wasn't on at the time or up to that point. and of course, the band with whom he played... lot's of confounds. BUT, i do know there is not a dull moment in this show, and I cannot say that about many shows....

ill have to go with the lambchop show, in honor of his memory, the one i think bob even tells him not to pay no mind to the party poopers. ive even been told that bob held him in great esteem.
i reserve the right to pick one from the titanic tour, which is gonna be monumental.
