re: DMB Live Albums

I think Central Park is one of my favorite officially released live albums from any band, in large part because I think the mixture of band and audience is recorded well. Listening to some live albums, I can tell the fans are interacting in some way -- like say when the singer stops his vocals for the audience singing to fill it in -- but I can't really hear what's happening.

That being said, Central Park doesn't have the mixture of my favorite DMB songs. Listener Supported is great. The Gorge and second Red Rocks are big collections if you get the complete sets. The Live Trax volumes are generally good releases, and I'd suggest looking on those track listings to see which one has the songs you thing your friend might like most.
