Grateful Dead - Road Trips Vol. 2 No. 1 - MSG September '90 ( 2CD ) 11/12/2021

Two CDs. The best of three Madison Square Garden shows (September 18-20, 1990) on a two-CD set? Yes, please! Actually, Road Trips Vol. 2 No. 1 is almost all drawn from the 19th and 20th, but you don't want to miss the September 18th encore performance of 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door, ' an especially moving rendition given keyboardist Brent Mydland's death two months earlier. This is the tour when both ex-Tubes member Vince Welnick (on electric keyboards) and Bruce Hornsby (on grand piano) ably stepped into the gap left by Mydland, and propelled the band to new heights. A rare '90s 'Dark Star, ' a second set 'Let It Grow' that goes off in new and fascinating directions, though Dick's Picks Vol. 9 came from the same set of MSG shows (September 16, to be exact), many folks feel these dates were superior. Peak '90s Dead!
