He's Gone

Hartford Civic Center

Jerry and Brent going off the rails in the outro jam and shifting major. Sounds more like an Eyes of the World jam with a slowed down shuffle.

Unique outro jam as they figure out how to segue into Comes A Time. Yep you read it right, bet you never thought those two would be paired

Phil and Vince absolutely on fire on this one. Cycling through many MIDI tones. Outro has a nice fusion jam with strong slinky Phil leading into Drums

Incendiary improv. Completely breaks away from Terrapin into type II bliss mode (sorry, but not sorry to use Phish terminology)

Standout version with an extended marimba intro that's a dinosaur stomp if I've ever heard one

starts off a little too "Moby Dick" bombast for my taste, but by minute seven we get into a delicious vaporwave gamelan zone that is highly pleasing

Eyes > Fire is filthy. Centerpiece of a great set.
Playin' In The Band

Very heady mid-80s zone. Goes through many distinct improv portions. 20+ minute take of PITB.

Think that it's kind of criminal that this one isn't here already - this is among the most unique versions of Terrapin they played.
