Notes sbd - very good mix and rich sound. Just a few cuts and point flaws. Yet another more or less typical 71 set list with an enthusiastic performance. The Rub is noteable in set 1 and the version of Truckin' to start set 2 I like very much, not because its jammed out but because it has a really strong get down attitude to it. TOO Is jammed well for this era. Many rave about this show because it has the only Caution performed in 71 (whcih is true). This speciifc version isn't nearly as strong as those on the E72 tour. I think if you ignore the novelty, I'd rate the Good Lovin's of this time as much better musical and Pigpen funk than this Caution. If you want a strong show from March, this would be on that list, but expand your time horizen a few months either way and it doesn't keep that position in my play list.
