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.

The Music Never Stopped

Epic Dr. Beechwood intro...very short version with other May 77 ones being better.

Olympia Theater

My second favorite O1 behind 2/13/1970. This one is pretty perfect and best one from Europe72. BTW best Dark Star of Europe 72 is Rotterdam.

Frickin epic show
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 17, 1977
Memorial Coliseum

Blows the standard Mosque(5/25) version out of the water. This version may be best of 1977 and top 5 all time. I can't get enough of this one...love the whacks in the beginning of Fire..never heard anything like that from Jer on Fire.

Grendel: Love your appreciation for this S/F. I think this show is so underrated. I mean the isolated Jerry solo after UJB is sic. I mean what makes up disc 3 of the May release (S/F>good lovin, UJB>Solo>Wharf Rat) is just awesome.
