China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
Classic China-Rider from a great run. 9/18/87 is legendary, but this show, and a lot of the shows from this tour, just as fantastic.
2
The Music Never Stopped
RIpping coda. End to a great first set.
1
Hey Pocky Way
Super energetic way to kick off this amazing run of shows
1
Estimated Prophet
An excellent shreddy version from '87. Jerry really lets loose.
2
When Push Comes to Shove
Killer version. Then some of Brent's communist friends sabotage Bob Weir soon afterward..
1
Mexicali Blues
Great fun extended solo from Garcia. Phil sounds great in the mix.
1
Me and My Uncle
Probably as good as any other that year. Good nonetheless.
1
Row Jimmy
Solid later version. Love how much this tune changed over the years. Every one did, but this one particularly with Brent, Jerry’s voice, & the fun end
1
Eyes Of The World
Phil's just on fire at this point!! Making for a silky smooth Eyes. This is a great performance..
1
Drums -> Space
Freaky deaky. Goes into Wheel.
1
Black Peter
Killer vocals. Great solo.
1
Sugar Magnolia
Phil and Brent really escalate the dance party factor of this tune in later years. Great performance this night. Just sheer fun. Comes to awk end.
