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

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

Shakedown Street
Jan. 25, 1993
Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum

Really nice pep to the step - gets off the shakedown rails momentarily around 8:50 on the Charlie Miller version when Phil starts to roam around a bit. Very nice organ work from Vince - which is something I don't often think about as his strong suit as a self-professed Brent-Boi.

Audience is going crazy on the Rob Hunt tape / Charlie Miller xfer - really fun!
