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.

Clearly deserves a few more votes due to its 16 mins of goodness. Its fast... it has fanning... great stuff.

Not a fan of this tune, but this one is unique. It has that 1978 raunch to it that I would not expect in a Ship.

Great mid jam that is better than anything they did in 1977. I'm not sure this is the best show of 78 left in the vault, but it is clearly underrated.
