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.

Only about 8 mins, but some nice runs by Jerry in the middle. Worth checking out. Dave's picks#2.

Can't explain, but the groove is sweet.

I love this show and of course this epic Dew. Jer is great lyrically. The version is gentle when it needs to be. Jer throttles the final solo, but id like to mention that Phil is thick on this version. Huge 8 minute outro that has extreme patience and build up until the monster load is blown. Last thing like it was 77. Three 77 versions and 87 MSG are better and that's it.

Lovin this version. Still pretty focused for being 46 minutes. Probably should be top 3.
