Almost every song from this show could be nominated for a "best ever." This heartfelt "Roses" is no exception.

With the Neville Bros. Jerry gets his Big Easy on.

Perfection to end the first set of one of the truly great shows ever. Keith, Bobby, Jerry--the whole crew is in the pocket and rocking it hard.

Both the best and worst version ever. Why? April Fool's gag: Bobby - keys, Brent & Jerry -drums, Billy - bass - Mickey -guitar Phil-vocals

They just could do no wrong at this show, Hidden among all the other gems is this monster River. Big solo work by Jerry; nice fills by Keith.

The more you dig into '69 stars the more you discover. Another version marked mostly by a combination of jazz/psychedelia jams and a rave-up ending on this one. Good upgraded CM version available and worth seeking out,

This is fan-freaking-tastic. Has an almost indescribable different "feel" to Dark Stars of this era especially. Deep, dark, flowing jams that go everywhere at once. Love it. Why have I never known of this version previously? Check it. +1

Superior version needing more votes & attention. Brent forgoes the "Fisher-Price" tinkly effects for a more straight-ahead piano sound and the results are beautiful, jazzy interplay on the post-lyrics jam, leading to several outro themes explored with Mickey & Billy. This version is mellower than many they would play in the '85-'88 years...Jerry doesn't go with the hard grunge riffs you'd hear in those years but instead the whole band gets into a more colorful jazz mood, short of the Midi effects that would mark the 90's versions. The preceding lyrical sections are done with grace and precision and the overall effect is of a Terrapin that tells its story with quiet and lovely confidence, followed by a very musically interesting outro section. Try it & see if you agree it needs a higher place on the big board.

Confirmed awesome. Rivals some of the best of '77 (11/4 included). Jam into the aforementioned Delilah Jones line goes 'round for an extra 2 or 3 runs and Jerry just crushes it. Top notch BEW probably not higher on the list due only to no SBD recording but the AUD available is really really good. This is a Top 3 version if not #1. For real.

Gotta up this. Seek out the Miller recording and settle in for a superior reading of all 3 tunes. The Slipknot gets smoky-slinky and spacey and then comes around for a perfect drop-in to Franklin's and damn, this is absolutely a Top 3 all-time Franklin's--no joke. The Help to start is spot-on as well. This late in '76 you're practically into the glory that would be '77 so it should come as no surprise that these fall versions are so good. Listen and you'll want to push this up the ladder for sure.
