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.

Amazing Miller source indeed, has he ever commented on anything else? What a show! The SBD pulls it up a notch; I love Phil's sound the spring of '71.

Billy is really up front with the bass drum usage, and they really mark that Main Ten theme. I love it.

INSANE. Wow. "Good Lovin' > China Cat > Good Lovin" should make any deadhead gitty.

Ooh. When the bass-boom into The Other One is this good, the rest of it probably aint that shabby.

"Controlled" jam with boundless energy that translates nicely into Drums. Definitively a top 10 from '71.
