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.

Not feeling this version or show. I thought it was a terrible roadtrips in general.

This one is a little over-rated...where is the the solo at the end??? IMHO...to be a heady China Doll, it needs to have the solo at the end...see 5/19/77...amazing outro!

Tasty Deal...this show is truly amazing. DL missed the boat by not making this the 1980 release.
