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?

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.

Jerrys voice is magnificent here, the matrix is perfect, what a good C>R!

I agree gwelch, this is note-perfect, and always sets the mood. Bobs voice isn't too bad here either.

Tight and controlled, '68 was too good for words
Morning Dew

Philadelphia Civic Center

For this one, i'd go with the AUD. When the crowd realises it's the Dew, they cheer; and it's beautiful.
