Maybe just another Wheel, but this show, especially after the Lay Me Down, felt to be all about recovering after saying good-bye to Brent.....

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.

One of the best ever! Truly shocked it ain’t higher. Keith’s keys make it extra special....

Scary and powerful Other One. Made me realize there are no entries for I Will Take You Home, which is a shame. The one leading into this is a favorite. Contrary to what Others may have felt, Take You Home never interfered with the flow of a show for me. It was different for sure, and some felt it was out of place... But really, it was a beautiful Brent ballad....

This is a beast. Like most beasts, it's a bit wild and unruly, but excellent overall....
