2015 Summer Tour Recap

Another summer in the books, and it definitely had its ups and downs. I am curious to know what everyones opinions are on a few things. Since most of us listen to recordings/videos and also periscoped this summer; your answers don't have to be based merely on shows attended. List your opinion:
(I will start)

1. Best show of the tour - Alpine N1

2. Best songs of the tour (List 3) - Typical Situation/The Stone/Let You Down

3. Best single song performance of the tour - Lover Lay Down w/Branford Marsalis - Raleigh, NC.

4. Favorite new song (new album) - Virginia In The Rain

4. Best guest of the tour - Béla Fleck

5. Most disappointing aspect of the tour - The Lovely Ladies

6. Most memorable part of any show you attended - AWSOP[aborted] which lead to Let You Down at DC N1.

    Was wondering what others opinions were about the tour, not your opinion on mine. Sorry for the confusion.

    1. Best show of the tour - Gorge N3, SPAC N2, WPB N2

    2. Best songs of the tour (List 3) - Raven, The Stone, Pig

    3. Best single song performance of the tour - Lover Lay Down w/Branford Marsalis - Tampa

    4. Favorite new song (new album) - Virginia In The Rain

    4. Best guest of the tour - Béla Fleck

    5. Most disappointing aspect of the tour - The Lovely Ladies, set list predictability

    6. Most memorable part of any show you attended - Friend of the Devil, with Bela Fleck at SPAC N2


    I agree with some of your opinions, not others.

    Let you down, let me down. He barely played it and they never did it full band. Dave is not a fan of playing that song.

    Set list predictability, add Lovely Ladies and fans are disgruntled, gorge was an abortion til N3. I'd be pissed if I spent $2000 to see that shit

    Let You Down is no where near one of the best songs of the tour. Biggest surprise maybe, but it seemed like Dave put no effort into relearning it.

    Typical Situation
    The Stone
    Raven

    I didn't pay attention enough to this tour to answer all these questions

    But, my favorite moment was Bela on Typical SPAC N1 and Butterfly in Camden. Never thought I'd hear Butterfly. It's my warm-up song when I play guitar, so that was hella cool.

    Only disappointment was not getting an Acoustic Stone.

    Re: 2015 Summer Tour Recap

    Best show - Denver N2 (Prob because I went) (Alpine N1 or 2 would prob be 2nd)

    Best song- Lie in Our Graves. The jam on this song has just been fantastic. Especially with Boyd returning to form. Really liking the 2015 versions I heard.

    Best single song performance- Ants Marching Denver N2

    Favorite New Song - Black and Bluebirds

    Best Guest - Bela Fleck (Not sure what happened to the other "special" guests. Seems like a lot of guests besides Emmylou and Bela were horn players that normally wouldn't get much of a mention except from DM night of.)

    Greatest disappointment: Hunger for the Great Light. Seeing that lined up with You and Me and Mercy in a setlist is difficult. Didn't hear it though, just assuming it's the same song as always.

    Most memorable - Seeing D&T play Nancies in the acoustic set. So great.

    I didn't go, but it looks like it was the best overall show when you combine the acoustic and electric set.
