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.

Yeah... right there with 7/17/89 and 10/16/89. Transition into Terrapin is spot on.

There were some great Playin'>UJB combos in 89. The combo this evening is just as good at this magical show.

I came to comment on this version. Lol... killer version. Maybe the finest.

I don't hear CE theme for 1 second. Eugene has the riff played twice. The best theme is from the 12/29/77 tuning before Bertha.
