Listened to this on the way home today. Love the beginning minutes of this version. From the opening notes, you know "We have liftoff". F'in Love it!

It Must Have Been The Roses

I'm a sucker for the emphatic singing by Garcia in the spring of '78...He really experimented vocally during this time period. Perhaps due to compensating for post laryngitis vocal chords, perhaps the drugs du jour. Either way makes alot of his ballads good. This Roses is one of them.

This is one of those songs that is so beautiful and so sad. This was Garcia's swan song. Often times its hard to listen to because its reminiscent of the last day of Jer.

Garcia is "playing in tongues" through this one. A man possessed...
