Caution
March 12, 1966
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
Oct. 9, 1972
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.

Me and My Uncle

Felt Forum, Madison Square Garden

Most fiery shuffle-kickin', revolver slingin' MAMU i've heard.
Playin' In The Band
Dec. 12, 1973
Omni Coliseum

You know, when they're through with the verses at the start and reach the end of the final 10/4 beat and the music "drops": This Playin' has one of the best "drops". 1973 has such psychedelic and mellow versions, i never get tired of them.

Instant download. LIG > Deal, what a gem.
Morning Dew

Augusta Civic Center

Most powerful vocal performance on this song - bar none.
Dark Star
Nov. 8, 1970
Capitol Theater

Turning into a favorite of mine fast, the Dark Star > Main Ten > Dancin' sequence is killer good. And to be honest, i would still listen to the Lee AUD if there was a SBD available, the AUD quality makes it all the more spacey, mysterious and eerie.
