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.

Scorching coda to an amazing Truckin'-NFA-GDTRFB. Whole show is pretty historic.....

Lovely!! Bobby (on the slide) starts chasing Jerry….. Jerry just picks up the pace, and Bobby does his best to keep up!!

And yet….. Spencer Davis’ guitar sounds a bit like Jorma!?! Lol! Very good! Crazy fun show! And yeah… With Bruce and Brent. Very very cool!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
May 19, 1974
Portland Memorial Coliseum

The bridge jam is classic ‘74, but what might set this apart from a lot of others at the time is Jerry’s “headlight roar,” which is so reminiscent of the 80s…..
