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.

Cumberland Blues
Sept. 21, 1972
The Spectrum

After the first verse, when Jerry does his bending solo thingy, Bob, Phil and Bill simultaneously lock into what i believe to be the most pure Cumberland groove ever. This one is note-perfect indeed. This one is a little more out of control than the 4/8 one, and hey, that's what we like about Cumberland right?)
Eyes Of The World
Sept. 28, 1976
Onondaga County War Memorial

Love '76.
Space
Sept. 11, 1974
Alexandra Palace

Dead always nailed the September months of each year. Amazing jamming here, you can tell they loved every second of it.

This and the previous date had amazing feedbacks (or just amazing shows as a whole)
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
June 21, 1971
Chateau d'Herouville

If Bobby was in tune, this would be one of the all-time greats. I love this version, but god damn does Bobby make it sour at times.
