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.

Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
July 3, 1978
St. Paul Civic Center Arena

This starts off one of the most enjoyable 2nd sets that I listen too. None of it is best ever, but every tune is so solid and song selection is perfect... repeat Disc 2 in my car all the time.

Best version if not for 12/19/77.
Dark Star

Hollywood Palladium

There really are some sweet melodic DS theme moments in this one. How something like this sits with so few votes, baffles me.

See 12/29/77 for the best.
Friend of the Devil

Honest... one of the sweetest versions ever played.
