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.

Only about 8 mins, but some nice runs by Jerry in the middle. Worth checking out. Dave's picks#2.

The Jerry isolated solo out of it is one of a kind . This by far the best Solo>wharf rat. this will always be the one I play first.

Best version ever. Felt like I was listening to blues in a dark bar that fits 30 people. This smokes any of the first set ones played after and I will take this over any Pig version. This is the definitive version!

This is up there with 5/8/77. Totally underrated. Seriously, give this a listen. This has that climactic ending that keeps going until your head is about to blow. Have not heard that kind of ending in the 80's/90's. Its over 14 mins like the May 77 versions.

Ridiculous version
