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.

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.

Definitive...aside from the one Bo Diddley did with them.

FYI....there is still some very good stuff that was played in the mid 90's and 1994 had some epic moments...S>F 10/14/1994 at MSG and Morning Dew 3/27/94 at Nassau. Both could hang In any era...IMHO.

Agree with the above. You pretty much can't go wrong with the whole second set. The Comes a Time and Bo Diddley are to come.

Definitely a worthy DS. Weighs in at 30 mins. I like it cause it doesn't lose too much focus and have 10 dumb minutes of feedback that occur with some of the E72 DS's.

Smokin version into the first ever Rockin' Pneumonia, which is heady in itself. This is a top 5 E72 show for me. As mentioned, Rotterdam is my fav!
