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.....

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.

Vince really shines here, one of the last really beautiful versions. Like the metaphor of No Peaks... No sense of urgency, just mellow, gorgeous Valleys, which was how it usually went in the 90s.... Despite the insane heat, this was one of he coolest venues to see them... That ridiculous, blazing, endless desert.... As the Heads descended on Vegas....
