Whoa, I can't believe this hasn't been submitted. Great vocal and four minutes of sublime outro solo. Check it out!

Phil is high in the mix. One of the best '71 versions, I believe.

Caution

Fillmore East

Finally procured the bonus disc. Audio is good for 68, but you might want to boost the bass a bit to hear Phil better on Caution. It's a beast of a jam that has a bit of everything. I've never been a huge fan of Caution, but this must be a unique take on the theme if I'm going for it.

Well, I did the research. This is the one on Steppin' Out. deaddisc and wikipedia didn't help me. had to compare the 23rd release with SO.

the Steppin' Out one. it's a dance tune! hard to believe no one has commented yet. the Pig means business here.

This has a real cantina feel. Look out for all the broken glass on the floor, amigo! Update: better than Broome.
