They’ve been doing electives since I stared seeing them in ‘01, and probably before that. An elder Starhead may be able to confirm. Bueller? Anniversary recreations have usually been the exception rather than the the norm. The good news is that in recent years (like the course of this decade) they have become more frequent. The bad news is that Terrapin Nation seems to have faded away. It all has evened out, I suppose.

Newbie here. I was at the Friday night show and I wish I'd have gone to Saturday too. What's not to like about a 77 show. I was surprised by their Friday night setlist. I figured they'd be playing setlists from the 2/16 & 2/17/82 shows. Last time I saw them was sf in 2015 at which time I think we're still playing setlist from same date in history. When did they start the elective setlists? Anyway, Friday setlist was pretty cool. I don't recall I've ever heard help>slip>stranger before. The slip>stranger was a very creative tease. In slipknot, Franklin's was ever so gradually emerging into focus when whammo! Full on stranger. I laughed in delight. Otoh, I've never been able to acquire a taste for the Brent songs, try as I have. Good excuse for a bathroom break. I like Brent in the mix of dead songs a lot however. Second sets for me tend to be the face melters. This second set was just that until tangled and Quinn. Maybe some day tangled, Quinn, or Brent songs will hit just right and I'll be forever hooked. I've only seen DSO twice, but the way they do space is just amazing. Most of the second set was a seamless jam. Wow! I'm getting chills as I write this. Anyway, I'm rambling. All in all a very creative and unpredictable setlist. Great time. On to Phil lesh and friends tomorrow night at txr. Yeah!

Probably 3 of my 100+ have been anniversary shows. Like mr Vegas said they are the exception rather than the rule. Rob Eaton has a complex mathematical formula to figure setlists. Talk with a nasa scientist and they can give you the formula. I used to know it. (China + Rider -3(last played in x(city) - y(era last played) + z(venue type)))/sqr root(Jerry band)
