Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Melodic and creative soloing throughout; the transition (">") is absolutely on fire, musical communication between instruments is on point

Estimated Prophet
Wow a powerfully dark version, with wicked guitar and bobby going over to the dark side.

Alabama Getaway
Extremely High energy post space slot coming out of a nice spanish jam. Jerry playing in full on Jedi mode.

Truckin'
The main reasons I mention this version are the return of the Spanish Jam and then Alabama Getaway at the end. Great for 81.
