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.

Yale Bowl, Yale University

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.

I always loved that they did this. How cool! Check out the awesome stand alone Fire from Egypt out of Ollin Arageed, too.

Ok, I was a little harsh. I have listened to it a few times...for me it has a little too much of non-focused "weirdness," which is not my favorite thing, but I am ok with others digging that. I will give another listen. Love the McEnroe shout out! Almost should upvote for that alone.

Don't forget the best O1 also. The Cryptical reprise is just as mind-blowing. As stated before DS>O1>LL, greatest 90 minutes in GD history.

Excellent version!

Century II Convention Hall

An amazing O1. It gets Tiger, but always stays focused.
