It Must Have Been The Roses

Freedom Hall

In addition to the great playing throughout this first set, you can grin at the several musical references to the Derby that the boys threw in.

Light first half of a titanic encore. The anniversary's coming up, might as well give the show a listen...

I know most folks are indifferent re this song, but this type of mid-tempo bouncing shuffle is one of the things I love most about this band.

Standout solo section with entire band playing interesting lines. Romping, stomping fun. Also not to be missed are some funny Bobby remarks re Phil breaking string (something about a man in a sharp suit smoking a cigar, with wire cutters). Billy AND Mickey’s birthday today (Parish's real birthday) before a surprisingly banging version of “Funiculi Funicula.”

Worth a vote for that super sick peak in the > alone. Everything else is just nasty. Nice one.
