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.

Great version. Easily one of the best shows of 93. The outro is so beautiful...the notes just sparkle off Jer's guitar.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Sept. 16, 1978
Sphinx Theatre

Its listed in the Fire section, since no scarlet. It should get more love IMHO.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

Greek Theatre - University of California

Top notch. Different than the great 77 versions, but definitely heady!

This version is legendary. The reprise of the mid-jam is awesome and leads into a perfect terrapin. What a show!!!!!
