It Must Have Been The Roses
Very sweet and right out of a grooving MHUT. Summer '74 is chock-full of goodness, and this Roses doesn't disappoint one little bit.

Me and Bobby McGee
Starts simply enough, then around the four-minute mark just explodes into a beautiful carnival funride of musical unity and sweet sweet soul.

Playin' In The Band
As brilliant an example of Billy K's genius as I know on the Archive. Great meltdown, too. Put it in the same category as 02.12.73. It's that good.

Promised Land
U.S. Blues-> Promised land is absolutely delicious on this evening an absolute world class version, Great contributions from everyone on this tune.

Ramble On Rose
This has a grat bounce to it and Keith is playing an electric piano so it sounds differnt than his usual grand. Jerry Rips a wonderful solo, HOT vers.

Mexicali Blues
Another FAST ’74 version, it’s executed with so much swagger you’d swear they could go faster still.
