Infrared Roses

Infrared Roses is a live compilation album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. The album is a conglomeration of the improvisational segments "Drums" and "Space" from various concerts, sequenced and edited to play as a continuous piece. It was released in 1991.

Most Grateful Dead concerts had a period of musical improvisation, usually 5 to 15 minutes though occasionally longer, during the middle of the second set. This part of the concert is commonly referred to as "Space," and typically came right after a drum solo or duet. Infrared Roses is a compilation of these performances. There are no recognizable songs from the band's repertoire on this release (although a theme from "Uncle John's Band" appears at the start of "Riverside Rhapsody," "Infrared Roses" finishes with the band starting to play "I Need a Miracle," and "Magnesium Night Light" includes a quote of the opening theme of "Dark Star"). Robert Hunter, lyricist with the Grateful Dead, created the names of the tracks for the album. The album cover was designed by singer-guitarist Jerry Garcia, who at the time was creating digital art.

Music from Infrared Roses was used as the soundtrack for the 18-minute Grateful Dead video Infrared Sightings.
