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.

Not sure why this has so few votes. Its a great 10 minute version! Its not 1977, but its just the next tier below. Clearly it was an epic night and more was done for this 1/2 Step than usual.

Deadbase has the first Mind left the body jam occurring in 1973, but clearly the last 6 minutes of this DS is a beautiful up-tempo MLTBJ, which adds to this awesome DS.

Winterland Arena

This ones the best of 1977. It comes in at 11.5 minutes which is longer than most from this era. It has such a cool chill jam at the end as it melts and then dissolves into St. Stephen...oh and BTW its after an epic 32 minute H/S/F. Sorry that I comment on this show way too much, but it deserves it.
