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.

Hard to Handle

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.

Oh yeah...the transition from china doll>UJB is spot on.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Hidden gem here. This could be top 20 if anyone listened to this obscure show.

"Spanish lady come to me." Love this Spanish O1.
Standing On The Moon
April 1, 1995
Pyramid Arena

Yes, the voice isn't perfect, but what does it for me...he reprises "be with u" not once but twice and maybe the ragged voice even add to it. Also, the final jam with reprises is quite long. Jer is great in the jam, but Bob adds some serious power riffs that really drive this version home, too.
Foolish Heart
April 1, 1995
Pyramid Arena

Beast almost 14 minute Foolish. This was best run of 1995.
