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.

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.

Classic 69 version. Has nice intense build-up before 2nd verse.

This GL is only 5 minutes, but is a powerful 5 mins. To be honest sometimes I don't dig the 10 mins of BS rap about hands in your pants.

It doesn't have a sweet cryptical reprise, but this one kicks ass. Its hugely deserving of more than just my one vote.

Threw it in today. Everybody give this one a listen. They kill it.
