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.

This may not be the best, but it is still top notch. The DS/MLTB transition into Sugar Mag is sublime. They do kill this version, too. Then, into Caution. DAMN!

Truckin'

Wembley Empire Pool

The ending jam is ridiculous....people need to listen to this whole show. This Truckin' deserves serious up-vote. Top 3 E72 show for me. Rotterdam number 1 of course.

The best ever here. Donna's vocals add to the intense emotion of this version...there I said it!
