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.

I agree...Keith does the fills and Bobby screams and then Jerry goes. My favorite version from Europe.

Playin' In The Band

Rotterdam Civic Hall

This great Playin starts of what makes top 5 show all time for me. Its epic version after epic version. The 47 minute Dark Star is one of the greatest things they have ever played. With that being said, love the first set Playin' opener that is hot hot hot.

This show gets a lot hype and it is good, but Rotterdam makes my if I had 5 shows on a deserted island. With that being said, this is an epic pure Truckin of 18 mins.
