Sublime Jerry leads, this pre-Thirteen Jam style conclusion really swings!

Jer rips some blistering leads on this one. Clearly the definitive performance.

Check the gorgeous twin keyboard interplay towards the end of this performance, the first time the song followed Dark Star.

Mason's Children
Dec. 28, 1969
International Speedway

Absolutely the best ever performance of Mason's. 12/29/69 is much tighter and extremely well jammed, but the second instrumental break on 12/28 just rips your face off!
Morning Dew
Sept. 18, 1987
Madison Square Garden

I walked out of this show at the conclusion of Morning Dew. It was a phenomenal performance of the song. But there are a least a dozen better Dew's! Every Morning Dew from the Europe '72 tour blows this one away!
Caution
June 14, 1968
Fillmore East

Certainly the best performance of Caution. This version was included in the bonus disc that accompanied the Fillmore '69 Box. I would give anything to hear the rest of this show in vault reel quality!
