I don't know, man. Two of the best Hip shows I've ever seen were in 2002 in Boston at the Somerville Theatre. Great energy, great crowd, and two completely different setlists each night. And for my money, I thought the DVD was fantastic. I do agree that the 2007/08 shows are some of the best they've ever played. Their show in Seattle on the World Container tour was absolutely jaw dropping, not to mention the kick-ass performance they put on in Calgary for Virgin Fest.
