He's Gone

Madison Square Garden

Very powerful, percussive version. Sounds like they are about to go into a "Caution" jam at the end but it doesn't get there.

Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again
July 18, 1989
Alpine Valley

Amazed that anything from these shows hasn't been submitted yet. Top shelf version like everything else from AV '89.

Boston Garden

Jerry botches the lyrics but it's the last Boston Garden version, so that's significant. Nice solo, too.

Dark Star
Feb. 24, 1974
Winterland Arena

This, 9/10, and 10/18 are some of the most beautiful, subtle and musical versions ever performed. No weird feedback breakdowns or anything, just epic displays of how good the band can be.
Passenger
Dec. 5, 1981
Market Square Arena

The raw coarseness in Brent's voice fits the harmonies so much better than Donna's.
Bertha
April 15, 1978
William and Mary College Hall

Fantastic version. Tight as can be and rocks like nobody's business.
Big Railroad Blues
Sept. 2, 1983
Boise Pavilion - Boise State University

This one rips a hole in the space-time continuum.
Black Throated Wind
Feb. 21, 1995
Delta Center

One of many tasty delights from the best show of 1995.
