Grateful Dead

On April 14, 1988, the Grateful Dead performed at the Rosemont Horizon during a notable run of shows, a highlight of their late '80s era. Leading up to this concert, the band released their album "In the Dark" in 1987, which marked a significant comeback for them in terms of mainstream popularity, largely due to the hit "Touch of Grey." This period was characterized by a resurgence in the band's live performances, with an impressive array of improvisational jams that fans had come to love. The Rosemont shows were part of a successful tour, showcasing the band's enduring appeal and ability to attract large audiences. Interestingly, the configuration of the band during this time remained consistent, with key members Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Phil Lesh leading the charge, maintaining a rich and evolving sound that drew from both their classic work and new material. This concert is a testament to their vibrant legacy during a peak in their touring history.
