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.

Iowa State Fairgrounds

Very exploratory. Jawdropping at times, very interesting as ferretstew pointed out.
Not Fade Away

The Austin Municipal Auditorium

1971 was amazing year for the boys. Why is it so overlooked? This is a scorcher, A SCORCHER!

What an opener!
Caution
March 18, 1971
Fox Theatre

The most rapped out Caution ever? Pigpen is in perfect shape here, a weirdly experimental Caution, and the only on in '71.

Gulfstream Park Race Track

They really started to realise the potential of DS in the later half of '68. What an entrancing version.
