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?

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.

Intensely moving, a holy grail among dead ballads. Go Jerry.

The way they drop into space from the verse is absolute dead voodoo. Every now and then the magic hits you directly in the face, and this is a prime example.

Pacific Coliseum

Absolutely agree FreedomHaul. The ending of Wharf Rat is lingering and ethereal, packing up a fantastic sequence of peak '73 creativity; which launches into a rocking Sugar Magnolia.

Oklahoma City Fairgrounds Arena

Weir's vocals are actually not too bad in this one.
Deal

Hampton Coliseum

This shouldn't be down here, get it up there - it's blazin'!
