There are a lot of people that don't give 3.0 any credit until 2012, which is pretty short-sighted. 2010 had some spectacular moments. I couldn't make it to the 10/30/10 "Led Zeppelin" show, but I was at Halloween, which is still spectacular five years later.

I will also defend fall 2013 though. Both Worcester shows were off the hook, and Reading was an absolute beast. Plus the AC run.

It seems like every year people say that "this" tour is the best tour of 3.0, and for the most part I agree. Summer 2015 seems like the band discovered an element of patience that had been misplaced for stretches, and some of the anti-rip cord jams that have evolved this tour showcase the patient approach. There have been some monster songs this year that will withstand the test of time and I'm happy I got to see some of them first hand. I'm excited and jealous for my friends going to Dicks, it's going to be riDICKulous.

Cheers.
