Starts a little funny, but has that rare electric funk quality. On the recent C. Miller cleanup, so thank you sir.

Questionable date, but unquestionably amazing. A great classic jam with a near-perfect recording for the time. A++

Rough AUD, but showcases a brilliant and intense buildup enhanced by what sounds like a Hammond B3. Deserves a cleanup, as much of 11.70 does.

Beautiful jam here, with some great Jerry fuzztone soloing.

Nice warm AUD for the era, with a sparkling CCS and great transition into IKYR.

Cucamonga! Thanks for bringing me back to this show: You asked me about the Truckin' on it about NINE YEARS AGO, so sorry I took so long. But this Bertha just brings me back. Were they ever so fun in the first set as this? She bips and bops and if this doesn't get you up to dance then nothing will.

Archive is down due to some wack hackers, so only able to watch and listen to the video on YT. This version is full of joy and triumphant, but I can't help but wonder what better sound quality there might be out there. Ahhh, we're spoiled, but the archive giveth and the technodipshits taketh away.... Maybe it's time to dig out the old downloads.

Tight short tweeky feedback to close out the Caution jam in top form. Everyone sounds in on it, including rare Tom. Fun stuff that sounds very freaky even now, 50+ years later.
