Caution

Danish Center

Pigpen drives hard here, harmonica all the way. Early fireball, only giving us a glimpse of what Caution would turn into in only a year!

Really bluesy, love the Guild Starfire sound Jer had here. Flows into a groovy early Caution.

Jazz. Just plain jazz. Keith really shines together with Billy on this one, they carry you away in the nicest way. How the he** is this not listed?

China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

Winterland Arena

Bill jazzes on throughout the transition, and the jam goes just a little bit furhter than before. Cool version with a laid back IKYR.

Seriously beautiful. This show keeps surprising me, there are some sweet nugs in '85.
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Oct. 10, 1982
Frost Amphitheatre

Cements my belief that '82 China/Riders are top notch. They don't miss a note or beat here with the super China, cool and controlled transition into a walloping Rider with pounding Mickey fills.

Oakland Auditorium

Now this is the type of Space i like.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Devore Field

Okay Scarlet, cool transition, but WHAT A FIRE! Perfect vocal delivery, incredible jamming, ripping peaks by Jer, and groovy as all hell. My go to '85 Fire.
