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.

Almost every song had a little extra over these 2 days.

Milwaukee Performing Arts Center

This is a tremendous version. It sticks with focused theme for the first 13 minutes and then first verse. A chill DS theme continues on and then they start exploring at the 16 minute mark. It then gets out there for the last 8 minutes.
Wharf Rat

Boston Garden

Coming in at over 14 minutes you could all this Morning Rat or Wharf Dew....I would have no issues with this being top 5...I do love the 77 New Mexico version, tho.
