I did Newport/Pittsburgh/DC in the recent run of shows

and considered the elective in Pittsburgh the best show

of the three.  This fact sparked a thought--what other well

played/constructed electives have I seen throughout the

years?  I know some that prefer their DSO as recreations,

I don't mind electives, let them play what they want.

Scanning setlists, came across this gem, which is so

absurd I had to share.  Have a memorable elective?

Feel free to share.

 

Praise DSO.

The one that stands out and I still remember how spectacular it was , esp with the sunsetting over the river for the scarlet fire is that summer time show at Annie's which is now RL in Cincy. There was a Money, Money and a St Stephen after the SF. There was also a State Bridge show that opened with Here Comes Sunshine that is my top shelf and then that Terrapin Nation show at the ledges in 07 or 08. As far recreations, the Newport in Columbus, an 84 show with a China Rider opening the second set and Zappa was played before the show and at setbreak. I remember telling my nephew that I had seen Zappa in November of 1984 at the Newport. He came away from that show saying one of the best part of the experience was how everyone was so in tune with what was playing and having fun trying to guess. Had never experienced an audience that was talking amongst everyone about every detail.
