My vote goes to side 2 of Sunday Concert (in spite of the position that 2MUCH2LOSE takes that it shouldn't be counted). The whole album/disc is lovely and does have some songs that I do not find elsewhere such as Apology, Leaves of Grass, and Yarmouth Castle.

Consider this lineup: the extraordinary Ballad of the Yarmouth Castle ("Like a toy ship on a mill pond she burned all thru the night/Then slipped 'neath the waves in the mornin'"); Softly ("Softly she comes/Whispers the breeze/With her passing . . .");Boss Man ("You're gonna tear the skin right offa my back!!!"); Pussywillows/Cattails ("Reveling, dissheveling,the summer nights do bring . . ."); and finish with the one and only CTR (listen carefully to the start of this song "Right . . . hmmm. . .(guitars). . .(applause). . . "There was a time in this fair land. . .")!!!!!
Top that!!!!
