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?

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

The only thing you need to know is that this segues perfectly into the most intense version of Caution ever.

It doesn't get better than this. Jerrys tone was perfect during this run, and everybody gets down to groove on this one, with the NSB tease being the icing on the cake. I'm absolutely loving this.

Comment nr.2: The most laid-back, groovy Caution out there. Like diving into a sea of pillows, incredibly soothing.

Perfect.
