Watch the Grateful Dead’s “Jack Straw” at Raleigh during Summer ’90

The Grateful Dead are back with another installment of their fantastic YouTube series, All the Years Live. The latest footage brings us back to summer tour 1990 in Raleigh, NC.

The Dead got the party started early with a first-set “Jack Straw” opener. Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux notes about the performance, “Usually a first set opener, Jack Straw contained a powerful jam toward its conclusion, and this one delivers. A stadium show on Brent’s final run with the Grateful Dead, this performance also featured a collaboration with Bruce Hornsby, who’d opened the show.”

Thanks again to the Grateful Dead for the great footage!

Watch Grateful Dead’s “Loser” at Raleigh in Summer of ‘90

The Grateful Dead are back with another installment of All the Years Live on YouTube. The latest footage comes from the summer of 1990 in Raleigh, NC.

The Dead delivered a soulful rendition of “Loser” right after the opening “Jack Straw”—what a great one-two combo to open a show! Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux notes about the performance, “Another standout from Jerry’s debut solo album, Loser joined the repertoire in February 1971, along so many other Grateful Dead classics including Bird Song, Wharf Rat, Playing In The Band, and many others. It remained a consistent part of the repertoire until 1995, a reliably excellent Jerry first set song.”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the footage!

Watch the Grateful Dead’s “Not Fade Away” at Carter-Finley From Summer 1990

The Grateful Dead have returned to YouTube with another installment of All The Years Live. The latest footage comes from Carter-Finley Stadium during the summer of 1990.

To close out the second set of their July 10th, 1990 stop in Raleigh, NC the Dead jammed on the Buddy Holly classic “Not Fade Away.” Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux has to say about the performance, “Usually attached to Throwing Stones from 1983 onward, Not Fade was played a set closer once Throwing Stones became its partner. Sometimes, though, Not Fade Away would simply appear out of the post-Drums ballad as the closer on its own, and it always went a little deeper when the Grateful Dead did it this way.”

Watch the Grateful Dead’s “Bird Song” in Raleigh from Summer 1990

The Grateful Dead have returned with their latest All the Years Live YouTube series this past week. The latest archival footage comes from Carter-Finley Stadium in Raleigh, NC from Summer 1990.

Towards the end of the first set, Bruce Hornsby joined the band for a few tunes. Here is what Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux has to say about the Dead’s first set “Bird Song”: “Bird Song was the one song that could consistently be relied upon to provide some first-set deep space in the 1980-1995 period. It was always wonderful to hear where the Dead would take this classic Garcia-Hunter song from Jerry’s first solo record.”

Thanks to the Grateful Dead for the footage!
