This number is performed similarly to "How High the Moon" in episode 524. Both are instrumentals performed as UK Spots by the orchestra in the pit. The sketches are are also made up of a similar sequence of solos and camera angles, starting with a shot of the entire orchestra with Lips on trumpet, followed by Janice's solo, then Rowlf's, Zoot and Floyd's, and Animal's, closing with another shot of the orchestra.
The only difference between the "After You've Gone" and "How High the Moon" numbers, apart from the songs themselves, is that Janice plays banjo in the former and guitar in the latter. Also, during the beginning of "After You've Gone", an opening pan-out shot is shown, which were never filmed for the closing credits.
