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.

Definitive version.
Standing On The Moon

JFK Stadium

So standard. The song got better over time. No vote from me.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Nov. 1, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

This one is one of the best due to its length and how interesting it is. My top 5 Scarlet>Fire's include 10/14/94, 11/1/79, 5/17/77, 2/5/78, and 10/14/83 in no specific order. 10/14/94 made Dick's top too...BTW.

Love this version and the transition into the weight is priceless as everyone thinks they are still doing 1/2 step.
