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 have been waiting for this release for years. It was my second show I played from the 30 trips, just behind Cape Cod 79. The wait is finally over for these 2 important shows in GD history.

One of my favs. Musically, it is extremely well played, but also has one of the best vocal reprises that I know of.

This one really soars. Should be higher. It has some hot peaks. Not sure why this show doesn't get more love outside the Dew.

Just one of the many great treats this evening. Easily one of the best ever.
