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

Possibly the most intense middle break of any Estimated. Everything in this show is about perfect anyhow....

Huge TOO > Morning Dew. The Phil led transition between the two songs is the best five minutes of TOO > Dew ever done.

Sadly, the very last He's Gone > TOO ever played. Amazing to think they never did another one for 13 years.

To my knowledge this is the only TOO (or any song for that matter) where Jerry and Bob play a guitar duet to lead into the song by themselves out of the drums. It is rather interesting to SEE (youtube, official GD release). It isn't easy to hear or tell that this is what's going on just listening to the tapes.
