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.

Sugar Magnolia
Feb. 18, 1971
Capitol Theater

Super-charged and fantastic!! We take these Sugar Mags (and a lot of these shows!) for granted. But seriously, this is so full of vim and vigor and Pig’s keyboards are ballistic, wrapped around Jerry’s wah-wah!!! Just sitting there in the middle of a second set, with so much more high-powered rock and roll to come!!
Attics of My Life
May 28, 1976
Orpheum Theatre

Agreed. Pristine guitar and piano work from Jerry and Keith. Kinda hard to find but so amazingly sweet.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Dec. 3, 1979
Uptown Theatre

Billy and Mickey bring the thunder! Jerry scorches with lightning!!!!
China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider
April 2, 1973
Boston Garden
