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

Bill jazzes on throughout the transition, and the jam goes just a little bit furhter than before. Cool version with a laid back IKYR.

Dancin' in the Streets

Fillmore West

Absolutely crazy.
Good Lovin'
April 26, 1971
Fillmore East

After jam mentioned above, when Garcia starts wahwah-fanning, the groove just builds and solidifies via Bobby and Phil, and then Garcia jumps on after a que from Phil and destroys it like a madman. Those insane bends he threw up in the '71-'72 Good Lovins combined with Bobbys refined Good Lovin-style of playing makes this on a top 5 Good Lovin' for me. Nonstop fun in '71, constantly playing this one at the moment.
