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

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.

The Other One
Jan. 21, 1971
Freeborn Hall, University of California

Adventurous indeed! The Other One is dripping, good interplay between Weir and Garcia - Pigpens organ sounds suprisingly good on the below-average AUD recording (though miller fixed the quality somewhat!)

McDonough Arena - Georgetown University

That segue is so organic you don't even notice it at first; and The Other One is nothing to scoff at. Short but energetic.

Yup. This is in my top 3 TOO suites

Nassau Coliseum

My goodness; First time listening to this as the snow falls here in the western part of Norway. Many Playins from '72 and early '73 could get stale, but this one aims high and flies higher. Outstanding interplay by Bobby and Jerry as pointed out above - and a six-limbed Bill rolling ruthlessly as Phil lays down the law. Keith hangs on throughout and brings some extra spice. Theres even a fierce Donna scream! Top notch and highly underrated.

Gonna listen to this one later, you grabbed my attention DarkStar!
