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.

Samson and then right into Bertha that continues the Samson energy. Pure version. Makes no sense that this version has 2 votes.

Gave it another listen with all the activity for this version. It remains just good to me and will never be a go to for me, but that's ok. That's the beauty of this site.

All these rare electric versions are so tasty from the 80's. Great call, Donnie.

I'm an 82 LL Rain guy, but this is one of the finest from this year.
