He's Gone
May 10, 1980
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.

Feel Like A Stranger

Hartford Civic Center

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

Shoreline Amphitheatre

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

Terrapin Station

Kiel Auditorium

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

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

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

Essential!

The Omni

deserves infinite upvotes. A superlative version preceding a cerebral, skullf*cking drums space.
Days Between
Oct. 18, 1994
Madison Square Garden

they lead into this from space for about 3-4 minutes. A beautiful, gooey transition. This version should be in the dialogue for best versions. I don't care about the flubs, I care about the vibes!
Death Don't Have No Mercy

Studio demo
