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.

Help On The Way > Slipknot > Franklin's Tower
Sept. 19, 1990
Madison Square Garden

First one after Brent's death. 10th show without him. Franklin's bounces with energy, then fades out poignantly in the end, as if they had a moment where they suddenly realized this just might work..... And it did. For a while. Often. Powerful show.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
Oct. 19, 1990
Internationales Congress Centrum

Should be higher, especially thanks to Bruce. Vince does a nice job too. 15 minutes in.....
Bertha
Sept. 19, 1990

Amazing, stupendous, wonderful night. Check out Matrix to get a feel for it.....
