Ok.  At the show I started asking the question.  One or two?  I went with night two because it was played to perfection and was one of the longest MMJ shows in history.  BUT...after closer consideration I have decided that the show that contained:
        Rollin Back
        The Way That He Sings
        Heartbreakin Man
        The Dark
        Lowdown
        War Begun
        I Will Sing You Songs
        Librarian
        Rocket Man
        Tonight I Want to Celebrate With You
        Wordless Chorus
        Evil Urges
        Tyrone
        Master Plan
        What A Wonderful Man
        Easy Morning Rebel
        It's About Twilight Now
        Never Tear Us Apart
        Anytime
        Butch Cassidy
        Victory Dance
        Off The Record
        Cobra
        Rock the Casbah
        Gideon
Wins. 

anything + reverb always = better

Night one no question for me. It was more than the setlist though. The feeling, the wind, etc...  PLUS the setlist.
don't rock bottom, just listen just slow down...

Fully

Night one for me because that was the night I got to pop Masterplan, Twilight, War Begun cherry and even with the technical problems, it was still one of the top three shows I've ever seen.

Too difficult to choose.  Night One had the better setlist but Night Two was more of a rock concert.  Night One gets points deducted for "Librarian", making the matchup much closer.

Fully

Night 2 gets points deducted for Movin' Away AND The Day is Coming which sucks more than librarian-way more.

Night one for me because of the set list and atmosphere, despite the technical difficulties.  That said, night two could not have been any better.  Having gone both nights = win win.
Give me a butt load of reverb on this one - just pile it on.

I like Librarian, The Day is Coming AND Moving Away (who doesn't love Jim's front of the stage cape antics?) :thumbsup:  But I get why people don't.  Just not me.

I like Librarian even though I rarely listen to it. I always wonder who the girl is who inspired it - Ky, perhaps.

But night one was the best night. Night two was a great show- no doubt. Night one just edged over the line into legendary for me. Night two was right at the line.

Not even a close call for me - night one by a large margin.  That being said, night two was amazing.  Except for the two little girls two rows ahead of me that kept chucking glow sticks at us all night.

APR

I wasn't there, but after listening to both shows a few times, I vote for night.  I find myself listening to that one more.  Night 2 was insane and PWW was stellar, but  the combo songs they picked for night one (many of which are among my all time favorites)  is hard to beat.  The encore with Cobra and Rock the Casbah, it just can't get much better.
