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.

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.

Head to head... Red Rocks is better. Love all three versions though.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

I love the discussion of this single combo played this evening. I am not sure there is another version of any song that creates such discussion of being number 1 by some and then complete crap by others.

This is a killer version. 1991 with Bruce had some smoking stuff. This blows numerous Jack Straws away.
