Info Date City Timing Notes
27:19
1998-04-03 Uniondale, NY 27:19 An incredible jam emerges out of "Roses" proper, opening Set II in a historic and highly regarded show. The improvisational jam combines dark sentiments, ambient sounds, major mode playing, and groove-based action. Must-hear version which > to a strong "Piper."
35:03
1999-12-31 Big Cypress, FL 35:03 Launches into phenomenally intense improv almost from the start as it embarks on an at-times-breathtaking journey. Eventually grows dissonant before briefly regaining its feel-good vibe.
10:08
2012-06-08 Worcester, MA 10:08 A very nice melodic jam that turns dark develops as "Roses" proper is winding down.
8:45
2025-07-03 Boulder, CO 8:45 As if taking a deep breath from a huge "Tube", the band breaks from a banging rendition of the song, proper, and crashes into a powerful jam, featuring impassioned play from all four. Trey adds just enough by way of melodic variation, trilling, and sonic sustain before > for a mighty "Maze".
17:06
2025-07-27 Saratoga Springs, NY 17:06 The longest "Roses" since Cypress is another gem in the "Reprise Fest." Fish's driving play ensures this stays uptempo the whole time, before -> into "Tweezer Reprise".
Jam chart versions are selected because of improvisational and other characteristics that distinguish these from typical versions of the song.
