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 Other One
April 21, 1972
Beat Club

This was my first The Other One, and by god it changed me. Having just heard Live/Dead, then stumbling onto this i had my face ripped off brutally, and had it smacked back on, insane. Magical and atmospheric, this takes you all the way out there and back again, changed for good. Amazing version that really needs more votes.
Turn On Your Love Light
Nov. 15, 1969
Lanai Theater

Pig and Bob conversing a little far out into the jam, this is really what the Lovelight was supposed to be. With some banter and Pig going at it with the harmonica (insanely groovy by the way, in a GMLSG way.) Delightful.

Avalon Ballroom

You when something is so good you just sit there laughing? The Cryptical > Clementine here induces that feeling. Have a great day all of you!

darkstar67, the Schoolgirl mad me face-melted. Jerrys tone during the Feburary shows were madness-inducing, i'm speechless
