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.

They do drive this one home!
St. Stephen

St. Louis Arena

They actually fuck up the verses and have to truncate the whole Stephen. Definitely not epic!

This one verse is far from standout version. Its a very good NFA with a verse of IKO in it. No more, no less.
Not Fade Away

St. Louis Arena

Great NFA! The IKO is basically just one verse meshed into the NFA as stated above.

Musically this is pretty standard. Obviously, the vocals are priceless. Musically, Winterland 10/78 is super sick. At the end Jerry did get more emotional on So many roads, SOTM, etc. Not sure the vocal emotion should make this number one. No up-vote here, only because 10/21/78 is really the definitive version. This version is worthy of a listen, tho.
