This is one of the few Grateful Dead bootlegs that I have. It's a nice Pre-FM recording from their 1990 tour. The band was just recovering from the loss of keyboardist Brent Mydland to a drug overdose. Mydland had been with the Dead for 11 years, longer than any other keyboardist. The loss of Mydland greatly affected Jerry Garcia, who believed the chemistry of the band would never be the same. Jerry's drug use increased during this period to the point where several rehab stays came in the following years. Jerry's health also started to decline. We lost Jerry Garcia on August 9, 1995 to a heart attack, he was 53.  Keyboardist Vince Welnick was a former member of The Tubes before joining the Grateful Dead in 1990. He continued to play keyboards for the band until Jerry Garcia's death. Welnick also played with Bob Weir'sRat Dog after the Dead split up. Vince Welnick commit suicide on June 2, 2006 after a long bout of mental and physical illness, he was 55.
