For a few minutes wembley in '90 becomes the fillmore in the summer of 1970, the way the Dead just slide into a no-nonsense Big River. Shivers

It Must Have Been The Roses
Aug. 13, 1975
Great American Music Hall

Super nice version...got a bit more of a kick to it than the uber-somber 78 versions. This one is always a pleasure to hear, even though it kind of kills the momentum of the Help>slip>frank>Music.
