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.

Playin' In The Band

Excellent pre-drums. The Corrina>Playin'>UJB was a nice treat. This reprise builds up super nice and extremely patient. Love the midi-flute with Bob's anger riffs. This reprise is better than most Playin's from this era.

Gave it another listen during breakfast today. This one can hang with the big boys. Definitely top 5 and can hang with numbers 1 and 2. Has more length than the top 2.

Just can't go wrong with 72 Cumberlands.
