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.

Another fine 71 effort with very good sound and Phil high in the mix

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.

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