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.

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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Up vote here for the protest! The transition is quite good. Best transition is still 11/30/80, tho. This is a solid version.

The transition is just spot on from one of the best 1/2 Steps of all time. I am dead honest when I say that everything from this show could be up-voted. This one has always been my 5/8.

Unbelievable solo in this Stella...Bach's Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring>Stella is definitely worth a listen.
