The band comes through after the loss of Brent and offers this fine show to the faithful. We were all curious how would they play after the loss of Brent. I thought the band was peaking in late 1989 into 1990. After this show, I was very impressed at how well the band played and the strong song selection. Big jamming tunes like Birdsong and Playin, said to me that this band was on a mission to take the music to higher level, nothing could stop them.

..Jerry eulogizes Brent's departure by beginning with, "Well, I married me a wife, she's been trouble all my life..." and ends with "It's getting dark, too dark to see..." Classic Jerry. Brent would have appreciated it. --- AshesRising (5* due to the occassion)

Vince played well at this show did really great. Then Hornsby happened, that was a lousy idea to toss a piano on stage with a light pop singer and confuse Vince even more. Still the band morphed into many fine moments, and Vince played his best in a difficult situation after the sudden loss of Brent Mydland. Garcia was monumental perhaps the best guitar player in American history. The entire band seems really happy playing this show what a phenomenal band the Grateful Dead.
