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.

Yale Bowl, Yale University

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.

Great version as above. Clocks in over 16 minutes and not rushed one bit.
Throwing Stones

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Stadium

Awesome stuff this night. I have said over and over again that this show does not get the cred it deserves.

Oakland Coliseum Arena

Some may say this is the best show from 1992.

One of the best from the 90's. Bobby plays some serious power chords.

Nassau Coliseum

I remember taking the Long Island Railroad back to the city after the show and everyone was exhausted and just reflecting on the Dew. It was a religious experience for me that occurred only a few times in the 50 shows I caught. I really could not believe what I just heard especially for 1994.
