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

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

Killer version -- you got it on the head with the strong VINCE comment. He's great on this one. I love how delicate it is. One thing I have to mention is that Mickey triggers a sample of a loon call at a few moments during the song. Very cool and atmospheric. On AUDS you can hear the crowd going wild during the final TERRAPINs

Really a continuation of the Dark Star -- but one of the wackiest sets in the later years.

Jerr sounding like papa death on the vocals, but this is some of the looniest tunes in the catalog.
