First Set / Encore 1 / Encore 2 poll?

Wed February 22, 2017 9:05 pm

Has there ever been any kind of poll or discussion on RM around what the best First Set, Encore 1, Encore 2 is of a given tour? Might be fun to put together a sort of Frankenstein mix or mixes combining the best three components that typically comprise a PJ show from each tour or leg.

These aren’t my specific preferences -- just using random cities from the 2014 tour as an example of how said mix(es) might look. Would love to know if this has been covered, or if not, what you all think about this idea:

2014 Tour
Best First Set: Memphis
Best Encore 1: Berlin
Best Encore 2: Tulsa

2014 US Leg
Best First Set: Memphis
Best Encore 1: Lincoln
Best Encore 2: Tulsa

2014 European Leg
Best First Set: Oslo
Best Encore 1: Berlin
Best Encore 2: Leeds

I'd love the 2014 Oslo show so much more if Ed didn't sound completely gassed.

I'll bite:

2000 US Tour Leg 1

Best main set: Saratoga
Best encore 1: Pittsburgh
Best encore 2: Manfield I

Put those three together and you might have the greatest PJ show ever.

Another great one would be combining the main set of San Francisco 2006 with the encores from Gorge I. Or the main set of Pistoia 2006 with the encores from Marseille.

I'm going to take your recommendations and put some mixes together. For the 2000 tour, I definitely can't argue with Saratoga having the best main set. I'd put Boise, Portland and Toronto up there as well. For encores, I'd probably do Chicago or maybe East Troy.

Rank this poll compared to the last 50 or 60 Dev polls.
