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.

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

I love this LLR. Its perfect. Love the thunder as Bob screams. Great fills by Jer/Brent/thunder at end.

Beautiful version, right behind Soldier 95 for obvious reasons. With that being said, any version of this song makes me miss Jer.

Alpine 88 is better. Jerry forgets some lines too, but every version of this song is epic.

Still love 1977 the most, but this is a very solid version. And can't forget the fantastic version from 3/27/94! Trust me.
