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

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.

Not Fade Away

Yale Bowl, Yale University

71 had the best NFA>GDTRFB>NFA combos of any year. Great one this day. Includes epic darkness jam in the GDTRFB. This show should not be overlooked.

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

This is a great DS with first verse clocking in at 12 minutes with no nonsense. Seamless transition of El Paso and then back into another 7 minutes of DS jam.

I highly recommend this version....killer groove. Especially since a lot of us have been digging 76, lately.
