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.

Mister Charlie

Rotterdam Civic Hall

Freedom says it all. Its amazing the level they played with all night including the 47 minute DS to Mister Charlie. I do think they were a little tired during UJB, tho.
Playin' In The Band
May 11, 1972
Rotterdam Civic Hall

I need to listen to this show at least once a month. Good place to start is this compact Playin' opener. Just sets the tone for the whole epic night. The thing gets tiger before you can get your first sip of scotch in. Its tight...its hot and then finishes with a forceful playin' theme!

Pine Knob Music Theatre

This one is better than anyone above and below it here.
Bird Song

Springfield Civic Center

Thanks for pointing out. Tremendous version. Definitely can hang with 8/27.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Sandstone Amphitheatre

Beast version from a summer tour with great S/F's...Deer Creek and Pine Knob. This 2 show run has some unbelievable setlists, but some great playing too.
