He's Gone

Five Seasons Center

Solid and energetic. Wraps up a lively pre-drums part of 2nd set. Interesting jam at the end. Phil sounds like he wants to go Other One, never does.

Fast. Fast. Fast. Cokey version seems like it's playing in fast forward. '84 is so unique and magical/dreamy sometimes.

Not a big fan of this song usually, but this one's hot. On the 4th of july, short, sweet, everybody's into it. Comin' out of The Wheel and into UJB.

Nice one, rising out of a cool Playin' and getting it's own groove on. Featured on Go to Nassau.

Also really dig this song and this version, though could see how it could be tough to take at a show; so depressing and melancholy

^agree that Jerry's vocals are on here, and really throughout the whole show

I rarely make a negative comment, but this one just really doesn't do it for me. Trying to get into '77 dead. Wan't to. Can't.

^ agree with above: dreamy, trippy, luscious. my new favorite.

Really surprised to find this so low. Bouncy, rockin' version that reminds me of those stellar '78 ones. Surprisingly great early 80s Jerry vocals.
