1990 - As mentioned in several posts here at So Many Roads, the period from 1989 to 1991 was perhaps the finest the band played after Jerry’s recovery from a diabetic coma in late 1986. That period encompasses numerous shows that the Dead have officially released including;
- the famed Warlock shows in Hampton Virginia on October 8 and 9, 1989
- the Meadowlands NJ concert on October 16, 1989
- the Landover, Maryland show on March 15, 1990
- the Knickerbocker arena run from March 24 to 26, 1990;
- a 6 concert box set from the Spring 1990
- the Madison Square Garden concerts from September 14 to 20, 1990.
- a show from Pine Knob on June 19,1991
- a show from Boston Garden on September 25, 1991
Just a few weeks after the 1990 Madison Square garden shows mentioned above, the Dead went to Europe for 11 shows in 4 countries; Sweden, Germany, France and Great Britain. This soundboard recording captures the band on November 1, 1990, 23 years ago today, on the last night of the tour from Wembley Arena in London. Download this one to hear what turned out to be the last show the Dead ever played outside of North America.

I was at this show. If I recall correctly, it was an extra show tacked on after the two nights at the end of October. The venue was not quite full. People said it was the best of the three London shows ~ and perhaps the best music of the 1990 European tour. Jerry's voice was shot but I was pleased to have been treated to a good rendition of Dark Star.
I love the "ROCK LIVE 365" idea. Keep on doing what you do!
thanks. great blog. i too was at this show and the other 2 nights, all front row jerry side. the others were quite extatic but this one was dark and very trippy. i was on mushrooms and there was a full moon.the dark star was amazing. quite a few people at the front were freaking out !
