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.

Fierce and Fiery!!! Like most great Dews, we wish this one would never end. Digs deep in the end. First big solo too……

Scorching, insane coda!!!! Last time I saw them with Brent was a few nights earlier, 7/14…… wish I was at this one…..
I Know You Rider
March 31, 1973
War Memorial

No China!! I was fortunate to see the Boys pull off a Half-Step-Rider in '85. It was a bit clunky, though ridiculously fun. This is not clunky. This is a thing of beauty, with a Groovy Jam to boot!! Jerry roars his wishes!!! Entire sequence beyond classic!!!
