Rock Questions. I Have Them.

What’s the single greatest specific moment in a band's history that would naturally lend itself to their best possible setlist? As in, that perfect sweet point at which while they may still have a few good albums left in them, the core albums that will go on to make up the canon their fans love so much still comprise 95% of the set since there’s fewer temptations from lesser albums? AND the band is still genuinely excited about playing their first songs everybody loves before getting sick of playing them?

Of course the first one I thought of is The Ramones' 12/31/77 Rainbow Theatre show in London, with nothing but songs from their first 3 albums to even think about choosing from for a setlist. Incredible.
