Orpheum Theater

On of the post-haitus ones that stretch and groove and go every-which-way. What a treat.

Kicks off a the second set with a jam that creeps up on you and is suddenly shredding. Cool opener in an under-the-radar show.

Comes storming out the gate after 5 years on the shelf. The Devils drive this one, but everyone is on, up, and jumping.

Smooth highway. Bobby and Donna in sweet harmony, and with that whiff of grace that marks the best versions of Cassidy out there.

Good times for all on this sweet set closer, coming out of a killer TMNS.

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.

Upvote for Phil's clear sweet baritone.

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.
Caution
Feb. 11, 1969
Fillmore East

I don't always think "coherent" when I think of Caution. I love it for its out-of-control spinning like a lopsided top, but this one is a strong singular statement of intensity and hard shredding before it tips over into tweaky feedback. Like the Dark Star earlier in the set they seemed to hold it in throughout this killer set, and the result is tight, strong showing of the legendary '69 sound.
