Grateful Dead - 1990-09-18 - Madison Square Garden, New York, NY (SBD)

When the Grateful Dead arrived at Madison Square Garden in September 1990, the band was still feeling the effects of losing keyboardist Brent Mydland just a month earlier due to a drug overdose. Wince Welnick, who would step into Mydland's role, has played just 5 shows with the Dead when they arrived at MSG, starting on September 9 in Richfield, OH.  Bruce Hornsby, who was also joining the band, would not make his debut until night 2 at the Garden. So none one - band nor fnas - had any idea what would transpire at these shows.  Well, The Dead as they has done in the wake of the loss of Pigpen way back in 1973, rose to the challenge, stunning the new York crowd with 6 legendary performances.  Night 3 - September 16 - was released on Dick's Pick's #9.  The bulk of night 6 - September 20 was released om Road Trips Volume 2, with a few tunes from September 18 and 19 sprinkled in. Since the majority of  the songs from the latter 2 shows have gone unreleased, we are going to take a small liberty with our no official releases policy and bring you both of them. But once the links expire, they won't be put back up, So get them now while you can. We'll start with this soundboard recording From night 4, September 18, 1990, 27 years ago today.  Highlights  include a wonderful Mississippi Half Step to open, Eyes Of The World to open the 2nd set, and incredible Garcia/Hornsby jam out of Foolish Heart into Drums.  Enjoy and come back tomorrow for night 5 from 1990.
