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.

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.

This is a killer version. However, I never dug it as a closer as it usually meant the post drums was 2 songs. This show is so short...46 minute 1st set, 29 minute pre drums, and this brief post drums. Nice SOTM, but I would feel pretty cheated if I went to that show. Needs more than some fanning at the end of the SOTM closer. It ain't Morning Dew.

Pretty cool to hear the Dead as the backing band for Bruce. Killer tune.
