Noteworthy for Jerry's utterly killer vocal - he's right on top of it here, loads of character and presence

It Must Have Been The Roses
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Heresy I know but for me "Roses" can really lag in a set sometimes. Here it's a perfect Bakersfield country tune -- just the right amount of kick, dirt & dust & sweat. Absolutely electric & HEADY as all get-out

The whole groove here is so crucial
It Must Have Been The Roses

Philadelphia Civic Center

so deep - Jerry's voice is pretty haggard but it's not about the timbre, it's about the actual singing, and he sings this one with such confidence and complexity - like a great country singer. this tune can sag on the wrong night but as with the rest of this show it sparkles here

reentering the atmosphere and finding the ground...very very sweet, instinctive, sensitive version

This one is terrific - there's no giant drop-the-hammer ramp-up in the jam...and it's better for it. Especially tasty piano work
