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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

The transition is totally cool out of Scarlet... Phil leads the way, then Bob throws in some licks I have not heard before and then Jer goes and then finally they all make their way to Fire. I definitely think this S/F is in the top half from the year.
Promised Land
Nov. 9, 1973
Winterland Arena

This starts off an amazing show... overlooked by 11/11. I would recommend highly that everyone listen to this show. Numerous version need upvote such as the Playing, HCS, Eyes, etc to name a few.
Tennessee Jed

Nashville Municipal Auditorium

Bobs obsession with slide guitar in 78 works here. Great interplay with Garcia. Top notch version. Should be if you are playing in Tennessee, tho.
Tennessee Jed

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

Agree. Love the tone of the guitar this evening as Jer destroys this Jed. Easily one of the best.

Agree. Nice chill Esau!
