He's Gone

Five Seasons Center

Solid and energetic. Wraps up a lively pre-drums part of 2nd set. Interesting jam at the end. Phil sounds like he wants to go Other One, never does.

Fast. Fast. Fast. Cokey version seems like it's playing in fast forward. '84 is so unique and magical/dreamy sometimes.

Not a big fan of this song usually, but this one's hot. On the 4th of july, short, sweet, everybody's into it. Comin' out of The Wheel and into UJB.

Nice one, rising out of a cool Playin' and getting it's own groove on. Featured on Go to Nassau.

Mickey is an absolute beast on this song. Watch the video that they showed at Meet up at the Movies.

Everybody so animated and energetic the whole show: Jerry, Bob, Brent, Phil, etc. July of ‘89, one of the great months.

What a Scarlet! Birthed to life seamlessly out of Sugar Mag then fire on all cylinders: Jerry jamming, Bob brilliant support, Phil bouncing, Brent backing on B-3, and Mickey and Bill perfectly in synch, all with crazy smooth transition into Man Smart, Woman Smarter.

Real nice stabbing, jazzy organ work by Brent about 5 min into this one, and he keeps piling on inspired flurries...I actually didn't mind the patch so much either.
