11 Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks)

One of my favorites from AOTS. The rhythm is just intense; it gives you that sense of chaos, like a runaway train rolling down the line. It's funny; if you listen to the version they recorded in 1965 (when they were just starting out), it sounds just like "Mystic Eyes" by the band Them (a mid-pace, blues rock harmonica jam). You would have no idea that it would eventually evolve into the arrangement on Anthem of the Sun.
