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.

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

Dupree's Diamond Blues
March 26, 1990
Knickerbocker Arena

how can a rugged 69 version compare to the tightness of a spring 90 version? Different eras, different qualities to admire. 65-95 - something good to find everywhere if you're open to it.

Madison Square Garden

really high quality playing from everyone. Jerry hitting 90% of the high notes. His octaved down tone at the beginning is sublime.
