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.

Starts forming way back in deep space...
Mississippi Halfstep Uptown Toodeloo
March 10, 1981
Madison Square Garden

As train wrecks go this Half Step's a doozy!!! Something crashes and maybe explodes and it would be nice to say the boys never miss a beat, but they miss all sorts of beats and keep on playing!!! The show must go on! Eventually, it roars into a fantastic Franklin's and builds to become an amazing show, with one of the best Scarlet-Fires of the 80s!
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
