A couple things bring that show down at Folsom- Wayyyyy too much crap from Everyday. Along with the awfulness that is the "lovely ladies." Otherwise the energy is pretty good and the mix is solid, plus it includes JTR.

X2, even though my interest in this band as a whole is now non-existent, I still love Carter. One of the best in the business.

One more vote for 'Before these Crowded Streets' as an introductory studio album. If that doesn't do the trick you shouldn't bother checking out any other album of theirs!
Every song on there is stellar, I can't think of any exception! Not to mention that the quality of the recording is top-notch. Honestly, you can't go wrong with that one...

Dave shines Live. A couple of my faves are

Live at Luther College (Tim is great here)
Live at Red Rocks

There are literally thousands of DMB boots out. Most are so-so, but a few are excellent. Unfortunately, I'm not at home for a while (months), so I can't comment which ones are exceptional.
