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.

This show is the bomb. Not my fav tune, but this is a perfect version.
Wharf Rat
Nov. 21, 1973
Denver Coliseum

After the El Paso, it sounds like wharf rat intro but finds it's way into a beautiful dark star jam and then seamlessly into this wharf rat...WOW.
Lost Sailor -> Saint of Circumstance
Oct. 12, 1984
Augusta Civic Center

Love this show...revisited it. The Saint build up jam is as good as it gets. Tremendous version.
Playin' In The Band

Oklahoma City Music Hall

I love revisiting this version every few months. It's so good. I have no problem if someone says best ever.
Not Fade Away

Campus Stadium - University Of California

Great call guys. It's an angry version. 7/7/78 offers a unique NFA/NFBM, too.
