He's Gone

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

Terrapin Station

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

Uncle John's Band

Veterans' Memorial Coliseum

really great improv after a poorly sung version - the longest UJB of the Brent era to my knowledge.
Terrapin Station
April 22, 1986
Berkeley Community Theatre

nice fusion-y outro jam leads into a bad trip chaotic zone before transitioning into drums
Terrapin Station
June 16, 1990
Shoreline Amphitheatre

The most unheralded Grateful Dead jam of all time. This is a nearly 45 minute Terrapin with a massive, drippy, full band improv. Kind of Brent's last hurrah in terms of deeeeeeeep improv. The only reason that this is buried is because it isn't from a marquee year like 1977 or 1989. Should be in the top 3.
Goin' Down The Road Feelin' Bad
March 31, 1986
Providence Civic Center

incredibly atypical zone coming out of this jam. Bobby tries to audible to Uncle Johns, but gets nodded off, full band improv winding down into drums
Crazy Fingers
Oct. 29, 1985
Fox Theater

delicious / atypical outro jam with full band improv and teases of The Other One and Supplication winding down gently into Drums
