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.

This one is hot and inspired, not always the case with this song. Love this version. Just has a great locked in vibe. Definitive for me.

Kinda short and not really jammed. Not epic. No vote here.

Love this show. Best Jack A Roe. Phil thought so too.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Weird lack of transition into fire. It was almost aborted. The fire does smoke, but can't give it a vote as epic.
