n00b100 After a few more listens, I'm going to go all in and say this is my show of the year and probably show of 3.0, mainly because while the second set has competition for best 2nd set of 3.0 (6/3 and 8/15/11, BGCA & Star Lake this year, maaaaaybe 11/28/09), no other 3.0 show has anything close to this show's first set (IMO, of course), and that is enough to push it over the top. I'm with @andrewrose - this is the kind of show I want to play start to finish, and I can't really say that about too many 3.0 shows.

I also wanted to mention that I like the SPAC '04 run, but I think @ProfPhan puffed them up a tad too much - are they really so much better than any of the shows I mentioned above, which I'd say are not the equal of this show? And I am not a big fan of the "oh, if they played (fill in classic jam here), you guys would be BUGGING OUT" argument. I would suggest that if they played the 6/19/04 Piper in pretty much any show after 1993 (when, you know, they had the chops to *actually play it*), people would be freaking the fuck out in those shows too. That's kind of the point of a classic jam. Stick that Piper in 11/22/97 or Big Cypress or Fukuoka and people would go "damn, that was a hot jam". I feel like the four fantastic jams in this show will help me overcome the disappointment of not having that one fantastic jam, thanks.
