Not as notable for the Caution itself as it is for the really out-of-nowhere one time only Jam that follows, must hear territory.

Enormous jam buildup to Caution with hints of Alligator. Classic version!

WOW!!! You're not kidding. Next to 9/2/78 and 11/30/80, this Scar>Fire has one of the all time best, super smooth, out-of-this -world transitions I've ever heard. And the Fire ROCKS! Nice call, man!!

Very nice version. The transition into drums is especially well played.
Lazy Lightnin' -> Supplication

The Other One

International Amphitheatre

Great version with a nice Phil solo and lots of peaks and valleys. Psychedelic rock at its best.

Frost Amphitheatre

A very beautiful and patient Eyes, unique in the fact that it's not speed-laced like most '80s versions. Must hear material from a great show.
