The Grateful Dead - Madison Square Garden, NYC, September 10, 1991
Is it still summer? It’s still the Summer of Dead, that’s for sure. We’ve got a few more years to go! Our first post-Mydland show. I think Bruce Hornsby is handling the keyboards here? And Branford Marsalis is still tootling away for pretty much the entire set. The Dead sound energized by the NYC crowd, opening with a boogie-tastic “Shakedown Street” and peppering the first set with some great versions of “Deal,” “Cassidy” and Dylan’s “It Takes A Lot To Laugh.” Second set is spacey as hell, with another killer “Dark Star” and a solid Built To Last tune, “Standing on the Moon.” Full disclosure: I skipped “Turn On Your Lovelight.”
Choice Cut: The Dead + Marsalis + Hornsby really take things into the stratosphere with the second set opening “Help > Slipknot > Franklin’s Tower;” 23 minutes of rollicking good vibes.
