Viola Lee Blues
April 26, 1969
The Electric Theatre
I wouldn't call it a Caution jam, as Phil often quoted the Caution bass riff to speed things up. LIA's blog talks more about this! (11/10/67, 2/2/68, the Monterey version etc.) The amazing highlight of this (sort of) sloppy version is the "Seven" quotes from the middle onwards, and especially at about 12:30 on the 'Fallout' version. The way Phil and Garcia lock into the riff, and then Bobby, Mickey and Bill jump on it is outstanding. They play this weird mix of Viola, Caution and the "Seven" from the middle to the fiery finish which i just can't get enough of. Not the best Viola, but certainly one of the most interesting. Imagine if they went into the Seven properly! It would probably out-do the 9/29/69 GoGo version by a mile (And in much better quality!) NB: Garcias slashing intro chord will permanently fry your frontal lobe.
