"Playing in the Band" received a good amount of airplay, and became one of the Dead's most played songs in concert (a studio version was released the following year on rhythm guitarist Bob Weir's solo album Ace). This made the organ playing of Saunders more prominent than that of Pigpen, whose contributions tend to be buried in the mix. For the three new original compositions ("Bertha", " Playing in the Band", and "Wharf Rat"), the band invited Jerry Garcia associate Merl Saunders to overdub organ parts. Unlike Live/Dead, the album contained several lead and background vocal overdubs. It was the group's first album to be certified gold by the RIAA and remained their best seller until surpassed by Skeletons from the Closet.
Although published without a title, it is generally known by the names Skull and Roses (due to its iconic cover art) and Skull Fuck (the name the band originally wanted to give to the album, which was rejected by the record company). Records, it is their second live double album and their seventh album overall.
