It Must Have Been The Roses
July 8, 1978
Red Rocks Amphitheatre

One of the most passionately sung Roses out there, all the Jerry ballads from these two nights at Red Rocks should be on the list.

Patrick Gymnasium - University of Vermont

The entire 1st set from UVM ’78 should be in the list, this Roses is another of the gems from this set.

The vocals are very impassioned, Jerry wailing away on the final, Donna in sync. LOVE this version, check it out.

SMOKIN’ 2nd SOLO- This must rank up with the best of '77. Since the WL Box set was released, you should have listened, hit the link, listen NOW!

The Music Never Stopped
Oct. 21, 1983
Worcester Centrum

I love how Phil lays back for the first few bars, then Bam! slams it home. The middle jam in the version is what make is so special, give it a listen you won’t be disappointed.
The Music Never Stopped

Field House - Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute

This version needs more votes. Many, (if not all ’77-’78) versions have a smoking / fanning finale, but this version has the most intense middle jam. Jerry starts this amazing run, almost too fast, as he misses a few notes, but it is breathtaking as they continue to jam and then in unison, nail the return to the main melody.
Ship of Fools
April 16, 1978
Huntington Civic Center

I agree, this is a great version, after Jerry’s bout with laryngitis, the Spring of 78 through Red Rocks has some of his most impassioned singing ever.

Red Rocks Amphitheatre

One of the most passionately sung Ship of Fools ever played, all the Jerry ballads from these two nights at Red Rocks should be on the list.

I was with Rob when he made this tape and when they finish LLR, we look at each other and just smiled, nodded and said WOW! Great version, the China>Rider that follows is also very good, give it a listen
