Looks Like Rain

St. Paul Civic Center Arena

A perfect rendition and maybe best of May 77. Bob and Donna really harmonize well at end. This St. Paul show deserves more hype.

This hot version from St. Paul is from a very under-rated show that is better than Mosque show IMHO.

Cryptical Envelopment

Auditorium Theatre

The vital cryptical reprise that climaxes like all the best crypticals do. Is it 2/13/70 or 5/2/70??? No, but its damn good.

Played a week before the 8/6/71 version, but super hot also. Both versions are a part of Road Trips Vol1-3.

Only about 8 mins, but some nice runs by Jerry in the middle. Worth checking out. Dave's picks#2.

Another just epic version of a tune from this show...clocks in at 12 mins...opens intensely with the coda then smack damn into the usual opening and then finishes with the intense coda again. Just an unbelievable version....all in all....epic show!

This will be my last comment on this tune. Listened again...this 5/19 China Doll is like the 5/8 Dew...the 5/9 Comes a Time...it honestly is the definitive!

Why so few votes? A lot of goodness in this version and this whole show!
