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.

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

All these 72 versions have much to offer. This is, as expected, top notch. But not as good as Veneta.
Uncle John's Band

I love this UJB mostly for the killer outro and then intro into wharf rat... that little jam between UJB and Wharf Rat is about as unique of an isolated Garcia solo as it gets.

Seriously its the best... Phil Solo>TASB>Eyes
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Arena

This is one of a kind monster.... midi me. One of those versions that you have to listen to at least once. I can see one person saying this is out there cool or another saying pure shat.
