Only a few months old but an early passionate outro to this one.

Had to check myself a few times when I didn't see this one under the date. Listen and vote!

Listened to this one the first time yesterday and it has already fell into my top spot at the moment. For as good as it is I am a little sad that it is lower on the list but I am just diving into 79 and there are plenty above this that I need to tackle so I am excited for more.

The jam before the final verse is really nice. Gives me faith in shows beyond 1990.

I concur with the statement above mine. This is what I am looking for in He's Gone. When I first heard it through Europe 72 I loved the groove but a lot of times for me He's Gone really slows down the flow of a show and for me it is usually because I feel the little jamming doesn't change too much. If I am completely wrong then I am all ears for other examples.

A very bendy Jerry on this one. Love it. I always say it..."Performance quality over audio quality." Come on guys.

This one comes nicely out of TOO then Jerry does what he does and brings the passion. Then as pointed out already by others, NFA creeps its way in at the end. I could have almost cried hearing what I was already warned I would hear. That's what this band does. Two songs I am very familiar with but blended together and its a whole other treat. Probably my favorite transition into NFA.
