Whopping late '77 version of this, the Dead intuitively coasting the waves of the atmosphere's collective imagination.

It Must Have Been The Roses

One of the stronger Must Have Been's ive had the pleasure to hear so far in my journey. heartfelt, dug-in, meaningful. Jerry sounds like a guide to the stars.
Wharf Rat
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

Defiantly pristine, forlornly majestic, Wharf Rat. This one is ready to take off the whole time and the ending is ecstasy. The lyric delivery is beautiful and hymnal as well.
Truckin'
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

Remarkable Stephen reprise into this stratospheric closer of a 77 show where they don't hold back the big guns, carrying the weight all the way home. Wow, love your anecdote Klaus about Billy's authoritative command to go to Truckin'. Prime, intuitive Dead, one single organism this is. there's few dead moves as badass as sliding into this- entering The other one is the only one that compares in terms of badass late set 2 banger shit.
