Pretty good climax on this one, which is the key to the song IMO. All-around solid version, surprised it's not on here yet.

They sound a bit bored with it to my ears until Phil kicks them into gear around the 4:00 mark. Probably smart that they gave it a break after '71...

More relaxed pace than usual, which allows Bob to give a nice, thoughtful vocal performance.

Very fluid and smooth as opposed to the usual clang and bounce. Haven't been this captivated by a 'Rose' in quite some time...

Really moves like a single organism. Bobby's vocals are heartbreaking.

"Stunning" is the word indeed, Cuse. What a show of confidence to open with a pretty complex song like this, and they nail it!

Psychedelic jazz cowboys indeed! This whole box set is awesome.

Keith is ridiculous on this one -- the whole Promised Land > Bertha > GSET hat trick actually!
