"Gone" came to Eddie Vedder in a hurry. On September 30, 2005, in room 1152 of the Borgata Hotel in Atlantic City, he sat down to learn a song for the next night's show, came up with this one instead, and had it finished, backing vocals and all, in about an hour. He played it solo at the Borgata Events Center the following night, and a demo went out to fan club members on that year's holiday single.
The band cut it properly for Pearl Jam, their eighth album, in 2006, with Adam Kasper producing alongside them, recording and mixing. Vedder and Stone Gossard play guitar, as does Matt Cameron on top of his drums and percussion, Jeff Ament holds the bottom end, and Boom Gaspar adds Hammond organ and piano. It reached rock radio as the album's third single on September 4, 2006.
