Unique segue into Cumberland Blues. A nice little adventure away from the normal Rider.

Spanish Jam

Sweet version out of space, flows to a short but fiery TOO. This shines in the recently liberated Knudsen soundboard.

Recreation Hall - University of California

They way this one takes off into the jam portion gives it an almost '73 - '74ish feel . Cool segue into Scarlet.

The Space is pretty cool. Contains a Happy Birthday jam.

What's cool about this version is that the Estimated > Eyes segue is very very similar to the Scarlet > Fire segue that opened the set. Both very unique must listen to jams.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Warfield Theater

This version holds up against any of the great versions from '82. Scarlet has a nice groove to it with a syrupy sweet segue to FOTM. Lots of funky staccato plunking. I'd take this one over the Manor Downs version.
