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.

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.

Whole show deserves more hype with all the crazy bust-outs on borrowed instruments.

This one can really hang with 9/18...mostly cause the La Bamba is the most jammed out of the 4. With that being said after listening to all 4 of these GL>La Bamba>GL, which was fun as hell and I highly recommend doing. 9/18 remains the gold standard since the GL aspect of it is the best of the 4.

Not quite as intense as the bust-out on 9/7/1987. More chill feel to it. The Intro into La Bamba is better and the La Bamba is pretty tight. For me I like 9/7>9/13 just because of the insane energy on 9/7.

Just insane energy...can hang with MSG version on 9/18/87. The crowd just goes nuts with the La Bamba. The La Bamba is a little loose as expected. Transition into La Bamba is not as tight as MSG, but the outro is spot on.
