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.

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

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 31, 1978
Winterland Arena

Probably one of the greatest shows, but for some odd reason....doesn't get much hype. The set list is like a greatest hits and it is all played really well.
Not Fade Away

State Fairgrounds Coliseum

Yeah, the transition is sickleberry....Jerry has unique riff as Bob noodles NFA until it's a full blown NFA. Thanks, brah. With that being said...a cool jam occurs half way thru and this becomes one sweet NFA. Cajun vibe and all. Nothing like I have ever heard....sweet sweet call.

My brah darkstar67 recommended this. This version has some serious expressive Jerry vocals like its the first time singing the song. The outro ain't Winterland Oct. 78, but its gorgeous and has this cool vibe as Bob pushes NFA. Killer segue. Hey DS67....you doing dead and co Alpine?
Terrapin Station

McArthur Court, U of Oregon

The segment of Terrapin>D>O1>Space>Stephen>NFA is some of the tastiest stuff in GD history. Also known as Disc 3.
