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

MSG

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.

Into magnificent Peter...
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain

Louisiana State U

Kinda close to perfect. Others are maybe more epic, and plenty are longer and jammier, but this is nearly just exactly perfect... Into a wonderful Estimated.

The Cryptical Envelopment Coda/Reprise builds to blistering beauty....About as powerful as 5/2/70, 2/28/69, 2/22/69, and all the rest of the best, some of the finest moments in GD history, those Cryptical reprises..... especially the last few minutes of this one!!!
