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.

Just awesome...blows the May versions away. The band gives a little extra on every song they played this night.

Like this more than some of the ones from May...seems to have a little more energy.

This version is hot as hell for a pretty simple song. Jerry kills it at the end.

Always liked this one better than 6/18/74. It has about 6 more minutes of length than 6/18. Prior to roadtrips, 6/18 was always more well known than 6/16. Don't get me wrong, both are great versions, but this one does it for me more. I am also not from Iowa, either. I love the extended transition into Big River.
