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.

At exactly 5:46-50...the notes are just so bright and pop and it happens all evening. That is when you know Jerry is on. Rare for 94, but happened this evening.

This is one of those setlists that looks ho-hum, but the playing this evening is the tightest of maybe any show from 92-95. Every version is one of the best of this era if not the best. The band is on and you can hear the crispness with every tune. I understand, you need to like this era, but I have always been able to find the good with all the eras.

This whole show needs more love. Top 3 show of 1994.

This whole show is amazing.

Definitely deserves more love. Maybe not Alpine 89, but has extended jams, tight, and super energetic.
