What makes me suspicious is that at the conclusion of Caution, Bill Graham is heard to say something like "let's hear it for the Grateful Dead." Bill Graham was not the emcee at the Monetery Pop Festival, so it's doubtful he would introduce the BAND from the stage. However, some folks have speculated that since Graham was in attendance and a friend of the Dead, he might have done the intro and or the outro as a "guest emcee." The Alligator is a curiosity; it's a very primordial version without vocals. Some parts are missing. Pigpen plays harmonica over the "verse" parts of the song. If indeed this date is accurate and Alligator was not yet fully fleshed-out as of mid-June '67, the certainly the true date of "5/5/67" falls somewhere later in the year. Contributors:Jeff Tiedrich .
