So many. Someone just asked this in the form of “if you were a time traveler and could see any show what would it be.” My answer to this 99% of the time would be RFK 6/10/73 for many reasons but it’s not my absolute favorite and that answer would change day to day as well.
Here is a list of the shows I love and listen to often:
2/14/68 11/08/70 2/18/71 2/15/73 6/22/73 12/06/73 2/23/74 6/18/74 5/8/75 6/9/76 Anything from 1977 when I’m in the right mood Most of 1973 anytime All of Europe 72 8/7/72 (of course) 12/01/79 80s is good background music for me when I am working outside or driving. 12/28/90
I went to 6 shows total all in 1990 including the New Year’s Eve run into 91. 12/27, 12/28 and 12/30/90 are all amazing shows for the later years, and are not heard enough.

Oh yeah that’s the Golden Hall release that is a phenomenal show thanks, plugging through it now!
Tomorrow, thanks!
Those beaters are great stress relief too, but the apartment may hinder your efforts. I used to have a great doumbek and I will get another one someday.
I started playing the guitar, the act of needing to use both hands, my eyes and mouth (when singing) puts me in the now and removes all the bullshit. Maybe an instrument might work for you.
My advice is to do what your parents did: get a job, sir. The Bums will always lose. Do you hear me Mr. Lebowski?
The whole show is fuego, you’ll thank yourself for the time you spent!
PS now listening to Freedom Hall 6/18/1974 and this is your reminder that that Weather Report Suite/ Let it Grow exists.

Alright, I’m outta here (drops money and inadvertently a joint on counter, subtly picks up joint.)

And you can see it here!
Sorry as that dude posted in the link you can get shows at archive.org. Or you can use the relisten app or attics app.
Stay in the car Donny!
He fixes the cable?
Completely agree, It will be up there. I listened to After midnight, Valarie and Don’t let go over and over agin yesterday until I saw the whole thing dropped. I can’t wait to dive into the rest today!
And he did again wonderfully on 5/17/25 and I was 20 feet from him.
Edit to say that was not during harder they come but another part of the weekend run. I was in the O’Tiel Zone all weekend.
