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.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower

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

I Need A Miracle
July 4, 1986
Rich Stadium

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.

Two Souls in Communion
March 26, 1972

every time i hear this show it's better and better; goes from really good to great to exceptional, not the least of the reasons being the strength of the "smaller" songs (this one, you win again, greatest story, looks like rain, etc.)- also the killer jams (especially that truckin'!)

I love when Jerry really gets into his vocals. So much fun.
Wharf Rat

Nassau Coliseum

Why so low? Perfect, intense, passionate version from an amazing second set and phenomenal show!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 27, 1983
Civic Auditorium

One of my favorite years for Scarlet/Fire. Great Scarlet, weird/mellow transition jam. Love Brent's reverby, spacey electric keys.
Greatest Story Ever Told
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden

Agreed. Jerry's guitar, Phil's bass, really rockin' version.
