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.

Absolute monster version due to pre-drums spot.

Absolute definitive version....Phil is huge on the digital download. Killer opener....epic transition into Iko and cool reprise later. Way more inspired due to its opener status. Bruce kills it to.

Great call...this show is killer. Maybe the best of the run.

Winterland Arena

You could call this best ever and it sits at three votes. This show amazes me more and more with each listen. I don't listen to the first set as much as the second, but this set cooks from probably the best Straw from 77 to this PL. Don't get me started on the second set. I honestly don't know if there is a better show from 77 than this.
