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
Aug. 23, 1971
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.

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

Agree with the above. Almost gets tiger at then end.
Deal

Pyramid Arena

Love Deals from the 90's. Not sure anything from the 70's compares since they lack the ending jam.
Morning Dew
Dec. 2, 1973
Music Hall

This one is better than 11/30. One of the all-time classic versions even when I only had tapes. Should be higher.
Truckin'

Music Hall

Kinda wants to go into Nobody's fault, but just ends up as a bluesy jam. Nice version.
Black Peter
Dec. 3, 1981
Dane County Coliseum

Its not even close. This is the best Peter of all time. Dick even said it was not even close. The final Jam is like nothing I have ever heard from this tune. Please people, move this up the list.
