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.

This is a more up beat Rat, but gorgeous at that.

I know few of these deserve upvote requests, but as stated above...the transitions are seamless, but this one stands a part due to it containing the power of the preceding O1. It's an intense MAMU. Definitely worth a 3.5 minute listen.

Great show here and clearly the O1 was greased and ready to go for Europe. This one does go in and out of numerous themes/jams.
