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.

Not the longest or best, but is vintage this era which I love. And has some classic runs.

This one is awesome. I love the raunchy 1978 versions. At one point Jerry is picking so fast it sounds like he's gonna blow up.

This is by far the craziest version

This is a real nice version from a historical run. Its a little short for me but it does have a heated Jam about 7 minutes into it.
