He's Gone
Jan. 11, 1979
Nassau Coliseum

mammoth 16-minute he's gone. Tonight finding the Dead in a meditative mood after looping estimated prophet for a long time, they really respect He's Gone and give it a leisurely, gliding reading. garcia's lead vocal performance has a dejected, bitter quality, lending these sloth-slow proceedings an extra intensity. Builds to a lacerating full jam.
