Cryptical Envelopment

Another classic from a year of Epic Crypticals!

The Music Never Stopped
March 28, 1994
Nassau Coliseum

This song was usually played quite well in the 90's. This one is huge at 9 mins with a hot final jam!

Scarlet Begonias

Meadowlands Arena

Nice 12 min stand-alone into Truckin'.

Feelin' Groovy Jam
Feb. 2, 1970
Fox Theatre

Tighten up sequence right into the Jam! One major aspect that makes this DS heady!

Standing On The Moon
Oct. 15, 1994
Madison Square Garden

This song became one of their best songs since Jer starting reprising the "Be with you'" in 1993. This one is killed too.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
May 8, 1977
Barton Hall - Cornell University

Now that its being released... should get some upvote. Not to be nitpicky, but the pre wind and the willows jam is just ok and the transition is solid and melodic, but nothing crazy. The Fire is top shelf, tho. So after 20 listens to this... My go to for 77 is 5/17.
Wharf Rat
April 25, 1977
Capitol Theater

16 minute version in a great wharf rat year. This whole show is under-rated.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
June 22, 1985
Alpine Valley Music Theater

Huge build-up in Saint. One of the most killer versions of this combo.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Another great version from this era. Only thing from the first set that really gets me going.
Deal
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Honestly, most of this first set bores me like Fresno 74 release. There is so much of this 73-74 stuff released which is great, mostly for the second sets. Yes...the China>Rider is worthy.
