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.

Kinda silly why this is so low???

Rotterdam Civic Hall

I just threw this show in again. Obviously, Playin opener in first set, Dew opener for the second, and the redic DS are some huge highlights. But don't forget all the small songs that are so tight and clean at this top 5 show all time.
Playin' In The Band

Wembley Empire Pool

2nd that emotion and yes 5/8 and 5/11 have best Playins and remain my two favorite overall shows from E72.

This really is a sweet little jam for this era. Vince does shine. Jer starts it, Vince gets the middle section, and then both finish it off.

The DS theme outro makes this one special.
