Bruce Hornsby - 2009-09-20 - Boston, MA (SBD)

Bruce Hornsby, of course, served as the Grateful Dead’s keyboardist from September 15, 1990 to March 24, 1992. Yet even before and after his official stint with the band, Hornsby had significant ties to the Dead. Hornsby incorporated Grateful Dead tunes into his live shows from the start of his solo career, a practice which continues until this day. Hornsby often served as the lead-in act for the Dead in the late 1980s, and sat in with them on numerous occasions as a guest after his official departure from the group. Jerry Garcia played guitar on several Hornsby compositions on Bruce's albums A Night On The Town, Harbor Lights and Hot House.After his time with the Grateful Dead, Hornsby’s solo concerts took on a more improvisational flair, including building set lists around request from the audience. In the wake of Jerry Garcia’s death, he participated in the Further Festivals in 1996 and 1997, then became a member of the Other Ones, the first of many reincarnations of the Grateful Dead. Hornsby inducted the Dead into the rock and roll Hall of Fame in 1994, and participated in the Comes A Time show in 2005 in honor of the 10th anniversary of Garcia’s passing. In recent years, Hornsby and Weir have performed several shows together, with each doing a solo set followed by the pair playing together on a number of tunes. And of course, at Fare Thee Well shows in 2015, celebrating the Grateful Dead's 50th anniversay, Hornsby was on Keybaords alonside, Weir, Lesh, hart & Kreutzman. The list of connections between Bruce and The Dead is almost as endless as the possibilities that existed every time either started to jam!  This soundboard recording captures Bruce in Boston 8 years ago today on September 20, 2009,, th exact same date of the pist coming up latr today at 4 pm!
