He's Gone
Oct. 28, 1977
Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall

great call, this seems like a major version- 77 is of course the heyday of slow he's gone and this one passes with honors. Betty board is translucent honey. This version is a fearful beggar experiencing disregulation of identity- devils find the spot in the downbeat completely free of anticipation, Phil 'n' Bob jigsaws aligning. Great coda and sprawling dark jam to follow.

absolute face melter of a version, cauldron stirring
Stella Blue
Jan. 30, 1978
Uptown Theater

fantastic Stella>Franklins. Jerry's not ready to quit and the boys get the hint.

firey versh. Devils really locking in this first set, Phil is out of control per the norm for 84/85, goes into a nice music never stopped.
