Grateful Dead

On July 12, 1990, the Grateful Dead performed at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium in Washington, D.C., during a period marked by their enduring legacy in the live music scene. Leading up to this concert, the band had released their studio album "Built to Last" in 1989, which was their last studio album before the passing of guitarist Jerry Garcia in 1995. This performance is notable not only for its high-energy renditions of their classic songs, but it also reflects the band's adaptability and commitment to their live shows, which were a cornerstone of their identity. By this time in their career, the Grateful Dead were known for their improvisational style and lengthy jams, captivating audiences with each performance. The 1990 concert at RFK showcased this spirit and was part of their extensive Summer Tour that year, marking yet another chapter in their legendary live performance history.
