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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

The Mosque

Overrated. Tuscaloosa smoke this. It can't be better than 5/8 if its not even better than 5/17.

Copps Coliseum

I do love this version, but its not 2nd best of all time. Maybe top 20.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Winterland Arena

I love this run, this one is very good, but not up there with 5/8 and 5/17 or even 5/11. All three nights of run are perfect tho.

Hampton Coliseum

This whole first set is epic. Aside from the fire works to come the next night.
