The music sounds like something you'd hear being played at a carnival.

It starts off slow, then the booogie kicks in and this one sprouts its wings and soars.

Nice rockin' version. Not a throwaway tune.

Right after the "now the dice must fall" line, Bobby improvises a little on the vocals. Listen for yourself.
Big Railroad Blues

Springfield Civic Center

The fact that this escaped our attention for so long is perplexing.
Alligator

Silver Dollar Fair

The recordings of it are terrible, but the music is incredible.
Alligator
Aug. 23, 1968
Shrine Auditorium

The link to Archive has Alligator being 27:26, but they start playing Caution at 13:33. Phil is thumping for it before the 13 minute mark, but Jerry has a little more to play.
