Grateful Dead | Hovet Stadium Concert (Includes Cold Rain and Snow)

Venue: Hovet Location: Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden Date: October 13, 1990

On October 13, 1990, during the Grateful Dead's European tour, they performed at Hovet Stadium in Stockholm, Sweden. This concert came shortly after the release of their album "Built to Last," which dropped in 1989. "Built to Last" was significant as it was their final studio album before Jerry Garcia's death and demonstrated a mature sound, integrating elements of rock and pop while maintaining their improvisational spirit. Interestingly, by the time of this live recording, the band was enjoying a resurgence in popularity, largely due to their hit "Touch of Grey," which became a commercial success and helped introduce them to a new generation of fans. This concert exemplified their reputation for unique live performances, featuring a mix of classic tracks and newer material, illustrating their ability to blend structured songs with improvisation in a live setting.
