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
Sept. 15, 1987
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.

Winterland Arena

Donna sounds like Patti Smith those last few minutes, and those last few minutes.... The most insanely scorching, blistering, raging, wild and insane finale in the history of stand alone Scarlets... The way it surges out of a serene and gorgeous jam.... So crazy! Fantastic! Powerful!

Truckin'
Nov. 6, 1977
Broome County Arena

They wreck the house with this barn burner.... Best ever? Maybe... One of them, at least.... Truckin' was kind of a rare beast in '77, not played til Englishtown......

Capitol Theater

Yep. Early Berthas rip. More country-rock-garage-band ripping....
