As long time readers of this blog know, I’ve written extensively about how in 1987 Jerry Garcia returned to the stage from a diabetic coma that almost cost him his life. That year was also a time when the Dead achieved a new level of popularity, as the MTV generation, captivated by the innovative video for Touch Of Grey, climbed on the bus. In addition, the summer of 1987 featured 6 historic shows where the Dead served as Dylan’s back-up band. Moreover, on September 18, 1987 at Madison Square Garden, I attended my favorite Grateful Dead concert, a show which has also been recognized as one of the best of the 1980s. The mood at all of the 1987 concerts was incredibly festive, as Dead Heads rejoiced that the band’s spiritual leader was still “truckin’ on”. This soundboard recording captures The Dead on August 22, 1987, 3 dozen years ago today, on stage in Angel’s Camp, CA, getting some help from long time friend, Carlos Santana! We'll post the complete next night frm Angel's Camp tomorrow, including the Dead's performance as well as Santana's opening set.
