Looks Like Rain
May 11, 1977
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
Aug. 23, 1971
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.

Hard to Handle

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.

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Old Renaissance Faire Grounds

Ok. I will agree this is epic. The china cat is sick.

Pretty standard for 1972. Not sure the hype.

Morning Dew
Sept. 10, 1974
Alexandra Palace

I prefer the May/June 1977 versions, but this has one of the best first solos and then later crescendos that were more than usual for 1974. This easily should be ranked higher. I can't believe how good this version is.
