Beautiful, 16 minutes of joy

Academy of Music

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!

New Haven Coliseum

I agree grendel, this version is definitely better than 6/30/85; it brings the serious funk!
Terrapin Station
March 18, 1977
Winterland Arena

"Alahambra" should really be labeled "At a Siding", since that is what this piece is called on the album version of the Terrapin Suite. But technicalities aside, this is a good one, and not just for the historical significance.
Jack Straw

Carrier Dome, Syracuse U

Awesome extended soloing in this one
Cryptical Envelopment
Feb. 22, 1969
Dream Bowl

One of the all-time best Crypticals IMO. They really take this one up a notch towards the end.
The Other One
Nov. 22, 1972
Austin Municipal Auditorium

Good one! Gets better with each listen.
