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!

Wonderful version, the best June '74 Eyes IMO. The proto-Slipknot that develops out of the post song jam is especially wicked, but the entire performance of the song is truly special in every way.

One of Phil's finest moments, he just won't quit soloing. You can tell Jerry is trying to come in with the minor jam and Phil just shuts him down!
