J_D_G Great work, @chopg. I think the critiques of the form of the critique are quite literally missing the point. Chris ranked the second sets because that's an exercise he found to be interesting and useful. It doesn't mean first sets don't matter; anyone is fully welcome to compose a post analyzing the first sets of the tour if you want.

But Chris G's point is well-taken that, nowadays, with so little to differentiate between first sets (other than technical execution of compositions, an element with which many fans are not very concerned), it's very difficult to have a substantive argument about the merits of a particularly good Type I jam versus the perceived historical importance of some breakout.

What would be even more helpful for me is simply a list of the best jams of the tour.
