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.

May only be 4 minutes, but this version smokes.

Just listened to this on dead.net. This is a cool and crisp version and could be best ever. Voice thing does make it more unique than others.

Can download from dead.net...30 days of Dead. Another pretty rendition from May 1977.

Please give this a listen. Sounds like the band is going to blow up at the end.
