Caution

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.

My favourite. A close second is the 11/15/71 version.

The way the post-Caboose Caution Jam type jam goes into this is remarkable. Symphonic feedback!

The segue into MAMU was more than impressive, and the creepy atmosphere definitely adds to the headyness.
