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.

Bird Song

Nassau Coliseum

Maybe the best song of the night. The way Jer and Branford play off of eachother is amazing and what is so remarkable is this is Branford's first tune and instead of just getting his feet wet...he decides to fuckin' kill it.

Love this opener to one of my favorite first sets!

The Omni

One of my all-time favorite GD songs. I caught the last one at Deer Creek 6/28/92. This is an amazing version! Love the midi-flute, too...never heard that before in this song.

Definitely enjoyed this one in Memphis. It was hot! It was actually the last great run for the boys.
