These early versions, Jerry has some problems remembering when to sing the right lyrics.

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

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.
