Grateful Dead - 1990-07-21 - Tinley Park, IL (SBD)

For the Grateful Dead, 1990 was the middle year of a 3 year renaissance (1989-1991) where the band was playing almost as well as it had back in the glory days of the 1970s. That claim is supported by the fact that every Spring 1990 show has been officially released, making it only the 2nd tour, after Europe 72, released in its entirety. To celebrate 1990, we’[l bring you 3 shows in the next 3 days, featuring the Dead’s run at Tinley Park. We start today with a soundboard recording from July 21, 1990, 25 years ago this very day. Download this one, then come back tomorrow and the next day for 2 more from 1990

1990 in Grateful Dead History

• The Dead celebrate the band’s 25th anniversary!
• As seemed to always be the case, with celebration came sadness, as Brent Mydland became the 3rd keyboard player for the band to die tragically, overdosing on July 26, at the age of 37.
• Bruce Honsby and Vince Welnick join the band in September, both on keyboards, replacing Mydland. 
• In keeping with the custom of the day, the Dead release 3 music videos, for Built To Last, Just A Little Light and We Can Run. 
• The Spring tour features the Dead consistently playing at levels that remind fans of their peak in the 1970s. Two box sets will eventually be be released, one in 2012, and one in 2014, that contain every show from that Spring 1990 run. 
• Branford Marsalis sits in with the Dead for the first time during that Spring tour, on 3/29./1990.
• Late in the year, The Dead release a double live album, Without A Net, which features highlights from shows played between October 1989 and April 1990. In recent years, numerous live shows from that period have been released in their entirety, rendering Without A Net superfluous. 
• In addition to the entire Spring tour (16 shows between March 14 and April 3) the following live concerts from 1990 have been officially released: June 16, July 8, September 16, September 18, September 19, and September 20, ( I was at both the 9/18 and 9/20 shows).
