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.

The recordings of it are terrible, but the music is incredible.

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.
