1991: As the decade of the 1980s became the 1990s, the Allman Brothers, who had disbanded in 1982, once again revived their career. The Allmans reformed in 1989, as the success of Greg's tune I’m No Angel, coupled with the release of the Dreams box set to commemorate the group’s 20th anniversary, generated renewed public interest in the band. Original members Greg Allman, Dickey Betts, Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson and Butch Trucks were joined by new members Warren Haynes, Johnny Neel and Allen Wood, infusing the band with additional energy. Moreover, Betts and Haynes gave the band a dynamic one two punch on guitar, reminiscent of the glory days of the early 1970s. This TV soundboard recording captures the band in Mansfield on September 6, 1991, 35 years ago today.

While I went to 50 Grateful Dead concerts, I only saw Bob Weir solo once, in July 1992, as mentioned in our Bruce Cockburn post earlier this month.  That show was at the Meadowlands Summer Fest, which turned out to be a stage and seats set up in the parking lot at Giants Stadium. Oh the things promoter John Scher did to run a concert and make a bucks - you'll find even more in my book.

This soundboard recording captures Weir about a year earlier, in Pasadena on August 31, 1991, 35 years ago today.  Weir was accompanied by Rob Wasserman.  The two started working together in the late 1980s as a duo, and then formed the core of Ratdog, which in 1995, played their first show on August 8, 1995, the night before Jerry Garcia passed away.

On September 3, 1977, me and my buddies, along with 150,000 others, made the pilgrimage to Englishtown NJ, to see the Grateful Dead play the largest concert in the state's history. The day was hot - over 100 degrees - and the band was even hotter., as evidenced by the fact the show was officailly released as Dick's Picks #15.  I would see 49 more after that, at least 1 show every year except 1982, 1984, 1986 and 1992, with the last show being June 18, 1995, just 2 month's before we lost Jerry Garcia. My long strange trip with the Dead was short compared to folks who saw hundreds of concerts, but it was memorable, as over a dozen shows that I attended were good enough to be officially released. It's been 31 years since we lost Jerry, and I still miss the magic. 

As mentioned in several posts here at So Many Roads, the period from 1989 to 1991 featured the band’s finest playing in the wake of Jerry’s recovery from a diabetic coma in late 1986. To underscore that point, here’s a list of just some of the shows from that period that the Dead have officially released:
  • a show from Philadelphia from July 7, 1989
  • the Giant Stadium Shows from July 9 and 10, 1989
  • The 2 night stand at RFK Stadium from July 12 and 13, 1989
  • the famed Warlock shows in Hampton Virginia on October 8 and 9, 1989 
  • the Meadowlands NJ concert on October 16, 1989
  • the Landover, Maryland show on March 15, 1990 
  • the Knickerbocker arena run from March 24 to 26, 1990; 
  • 2 (yes 2) box sets from Spring 1990, featuring every show from that tour - the only other tour to be released in its entirety besides Europe 1972
  • a show from from Mountain View CA from June 16, 1990
  • a show from from Pittsburgh from July 8, 1990
  • the Madison Square Garden concerts from September 14 to 20, 1990. 
  • a show from Paris from October 27, 1990 
  • a show from Washington DC from June, 14, 1991
  • Giants Stadium shows from June 16 and 17, 1991
  • a show from Pine Knob from June 20, 1991 
  • a show from Madison Square Garden from September 10, 1991, featuring Bradford Marsalis
  • shows from Boston Garden on September 25 and 26, 1991
Today we bring you another gem from that period, a soundboard that captures the Dead on August 16, 1991, 35 years ago today, in Mountain View, CA.

1990s - #7: As long time readers of this blog know, I've spent numerous posts discussing the Dead's renaissance between 1989 and 1991. The number of official releases from that period is a testament to the caliber of the band's performances in that era, as they include:
  • a show from Philadelphia from July 7, 1989
  • the Giant Stadium Shows from July 9 and 10, 1989
  • The 2 night stand at RFK Stadium from July 12 and 13, 1989
  • the famed Warlock shows in Hampton Virginia on October 8 and 9, 1989 
  • the Meadowlands NJ concert on October 16, 1989
  • the Landover, Maryland show on March 15, 1990 
  • the Knickerbocker arena run from March 24 to 26, 1990; 
  • 2 (yes 2) box sets from Spring 1990, featuring every show from that tour - the only other tour to be released in its entirety besides Europe 1972
  • a show from from Mountain View CA from June 16, 1990
  • a show from from Pittsburgh from July 8, 1990
  • the Madison Square Garden concerts from September 14 to 20, 1990. 
  • a show from Paris from October 27, 1990 
  • a show from Washington DC from June, 14, 1991
  • the Giants Stadium shows from June 16 and 17, 1991
  • a show from Pine Knob from June 20, 1991 
  • a show from Madison Square Garden from September 10, 1991, featuring Bradford Marsalis
  • a show from Boston Garden on September 25, 1991
Without a doubt, those 3 years marked the last great period of the Dead's incredible career.  This soundboard recording captures the Dead during that run, in Greensboro, on March 31, 1991, 35 years ago today.

Neil 1991 - Back To Back - #1:  In late 1990, Neil Young released his 20th studio album, and 6th back by Crazy Horse, entitled Ragged Glory. The album's garage rock sound earned Neil the honorary title of "Godfather of Grunge".  The disc went to #31 on the Billboard Charts and earned outstanding critcal reviews. Kurt Loder, for example, called the album a "great one", which was a "a monument to the spirit of the garage - to the pursuit of passion over precision".  In addition, the Village Voice ranked it as the album of the year in its annual poll.  In early 1991, Neil and the Horse went on tour in support of Ragged Glory.  This soundboard recording captures them in Buffalo on February 16, 1991, 35 years ago today.  Download this one, then come back tomorrow for the 2nd half of this Back To Back set

Their relationship went all the way back to 1964, when they met in San Francisco. Grisman would play on the Grateful Dead album, American Beauty, and in the 1970s, be part of Garcia's Old and In The Way and Great American String Band projects. In the 1990s, the 2 collaborated in earnest, playing live on around 20 occasions, and recording 7 albums together. Garcia nicknamed Grisman, Dawg, after a dog that was following him while they were driving around in California.

Grateful Dead - 1991-08-12 - Sacramento, CA (SBD)


As mentioned in numerous posts on So Many Roads, between 1989 and 1991, the Grateful Dead played some of their finest performances not just since Jerry Garcia recovered from his diabetic coma in 1987, but also since the band’s peak in the 1970s. The Dead's playing was strong night in and night out, as evidenced by the large number of official releases from that 3 year year run (go here to see for yourself). In addition, the set lists expanded, with long lost tunes Such as Attics of My Life and Death Don't Have No Mercy being played for the first time in almost 2 decades. The number of official releases available from that period lends further evidence to how well the band was playing at the time:
  • a show from Philadelphia on July 7, 1989 
  • the Giant Stadium concerts from July 9 and 10, 1989
  • The 2 night stand at RFK Stadium from July 12 and 13, 1989
  • the famed Warlock shows in Hampton Virginia on October 8 and 9, 1989 
  • the Meadowlands NJ concert on October 16, 1989
  • the Landover, Maryland show on March 15, 1990 
  • the Knickerbocker arena run from March 24 to 26, 1990; 
  • 2 (yes 2) box sets from Spring 1990, featuring every show from that tour - the only other tour to be released in its entirety besides Europe 1972
  • a show from from Mountain View CA from June 16, 1990
  • a show from from Pittsburgh from July 8, 1990
  • the Madison Square Garden concerts from September 14 to 20, 1990. 
  • shows from Paris on October 27 and 28, 1990 
  • a show from Washington DC from June, 14, 1991
  • the Giants Stadium shows from June 16 and 17, 1991
  • a show from Pine Knob from June 20, 1991 
  • a show from Madison Square Garden from September 10, 1991, featuring Bradford Marsalis
  • a show from Boston Garden on September 25, 1991
Over the next 3 days, we'll bring you three shows from that period, startin with this soundboard recording from August 12, 1991, 34 years ago today. Download this one, then come back tomorrow and the day after that for 2 more!

Its ironic, to say the least, the the notoriously grumpy, private, and unpredicatble Van Morrison seems to love to play outdoor festivals in front of thousands of happy concert goers. This FM broadcast captures him at Blues Peer on July 21, 1991, 34 years ago today.  Van was on tour in support of his 20th studio album, entitled Enlightenment, which had been rleased in October 1990.  The disc went to #62 on the Billboard Album Charts in the US, and climbed all the way to #5 on the British charts. Reviews were strong with Rolling Stone rating the album 4 stars and Robert Christgau giving it a B+.

Roger McGuinn - 1991-04-08 - Philadelphia PA (SBD)

1990s - #2: In January 1991, Roger McGuinn released his 6th solo studio album, Back from Rio. Over a decade had passed since McGuinn's previous solo album Thunderbyrd. Back to Rio was issued following the release of the Byrds box set and musically it leans on the sound of McGuinn's former band, thanks to his 12-string electric guitar and vocal contributions from ex-Byrds David Crosby and Chris Hillman. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers also made significant contributions to the disc. Petty co-authored and sang with McGuinn on the album's lead single King Of The Hill, while members of the Heartbreakers provided musical backing on a number of tracks. Other prominent songwriters on the album are Elvis Costello, Jules Shear, and Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics. The album was generally well received by music critics and it peaked at #44 on the Billboard 200 album chart. This soundboard recording captures McGuinn on tour in support of Back To Rio, in Philadelphia, om April 8, 1991, 34 years ago today.
