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.

Great rec, this version definitely kicks major ass. One of my favorite '78s.

This is the infamous "Washoe zephyr" show but they are definitely ON for this number!!! Like Keith's piano work going into the jam and Garcia is just burning as brightly as that headlight...
