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.

I just wish Bob didn't play slide on Fire.

Nothing like a coffee in the morning and a little Bobby McGee. I have been liking the versions that have been coming out of brain melts (5/10/72 and 4/2/73). The Jerry yodeling is epic, tho. I appreciate everyone finding some decent versions of this awful song for me. Thanks. +1.

I honestly hate this song, but its super chill as it comes out of the HCS melt down. Don't tell anyone, but I dig this version.
