Not a huge fan of this tune usually but this one is extremely catchy. Maybe it had to do with the fact that they were in Nashville...

Either Garcia forgets the lyrics or they were having tech issues which extends the Lady with a fan portion making this a real unique version.

Just got the EU '72 box set and threw this one on. Had to hear without the studio effects. Still smokes and still is oh so good!

Just bumped this one. Very infectious groove. Listening to it on Headphones as Im doing the dishes and it makes you want to groove. Love this F--in' Band!

Listened to this on the way home today. Love the beginning minutes of this version. From the opening notes, you know "We have liftoff". F'in Love it!

I'm a sucker for the emphatic singing by Garcia in the spring of '78...He really experimented vocally during this time period. Perhaps due to compensating for post laryngitis vocal chords, perhaps the drugs du jour. Either way makes alot of his ballads good. This Roses is one of them.

This is one of those songs that is so beautiful and so sad. This was Garcia's swan song. Often times its hard to listen to because its reminiscent of the last day of Jer.
