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

Terrapin Station

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
Aug. 4, 1982
Kiel Auditorium

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

Brother Esau

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

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

the fact that this only has four votes shows how fucked the 70s/80s bias is in dead listenership

Riverport Amphitheatre

I think this is the longest -- breaks free into some very interesting territory at ~14 on the relisten version. Has a sort of China Cat > Rider transition meets Space vibe.

THIS IS SO FUCKING HEADY
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
March 30, 1995
The Omni

Hot as hell, 17 minute type II jammy version, with a great transition into a SUPER FAST rider
Row Jimmy

Knickerbocker Arena

Incredible and XXL long version
