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.

Where is the love for this show?? Amazing Wharf Rat BTW! 15 mins with killer intro solo. This is one of the best of all time.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Listened to this head to head again with the Mosque version. This Bama version is just better on many levels and even competes with Barton. This one needs up votes. Is 1-2 all time, definitely top 5, tho.

This is a great version! Can not believe this has not been posted. Good find.
