Grateful Dead - 1990-09-15 - Madison Square Garden, New York, NY (SBD)

1990 - 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 fans - 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 on Road Trips Volume 2, with a few tunes from September 18 and 19 sprinkled in. This soundboard recording captures night 2 of the run, and Bruce Hornsby's first show as a member of the Grateful Dead, on September 15, 1990, 29 years ago today.
