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
Aug. 23, 1971
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.

Believe It Or Not

Alpine Valley Music Theatre

This one is the best!
Truckin'
March 22, 1990
Copps Coliseum

I threw this 2nd set in to re-listen to the much debated S>F, which I still think is top 20 at best. But I kept listening cause of the believe it or not was coming up, but much to my surprise...the Truckin' was great with a super strong outro jam into drums.
Smokestack Lightnin'
March 28, 1985
Nassau Coliseum

Killer Bobby version with Matthew Kelly on harmonica.
China Doll
Oct. 14, 1984
Hartford Civic Center

Jer's voice is a little rough, but I think it adds to this eerie version. The outro jam is just ok tho.

Gets super hot and then melts into He's Gone.
