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.

It sounds as if they are going into Fire at end, but it just doesn't get there. Listen. Agree. Best show of the tour and top 5 for the year!

Best O1 of all time.

Soulful came to my mind before I even looked to post.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
April 24, 1978
Horton Field House - Illinois State University

This is a unique version and very good. I still like Tuscaloosa and Iowa better. 10/14/1994 at 33 mins was best recent one. After more listens, probably not in my top 10. Bob's slide ruins the Fire.

2013 bonus disc. Aren't they all epic??? This version is hot, tho.
