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

Kiel Auditorium

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

keep coming back to this one - clown rock
Comes A Time

starts ramshackle but gets really great. should be listened to with the preceding feel like a stranger - really weird pairing!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider

very potent stuff. Jerry is ripping during Rider. They take it from tremolo picking 10/10 to a hush like magic.
