NickSalv I think Tahoe 1 should be a little higher on that list, just way too low. Sure, there's no standout jam, but every song is performed to a T; just very solid playing and great communication by all four of them. And I will argue that's a top 5 Gin of 3.0. Yes i said it, and GinTeca was waaay overrated... Of course, I'll give the top version nod to Gorge '09, and I have yet to hear the Dick's version which I've been told is also a good one.

Anyway, right out the gate you can tell the boys are having fun with it; it's like '93 with that crooked vocal jam leading into a drunken jam of sorts. Eventually it stabilizes, and once they get going, it just picks up speed. Trey is seriously on fire throughout. And the other three didn't play like bums either...

Take another listen to that set. Wolfman's is above average, Tube gets funky as hell. Also listen to Cities: it's quite short, but you have to hear the boys complementing each other throughout. So smooth. And a first set Birds is a ton of fun.
