Grateful Dead

The Grateful Dead's live recording from July 16, 1990, at Rich Stadium in Orchard Park, NY, took place towards the end of the band's career. Prior to this performance, they had released the album *In the Dark* in 1987, which marked a significant moment for the band as it included the hit single “Touch of Grey,” their first song to reach the Billboard Hot 100. This resurgence contributed to their popularity during the late '80s and early '90s.

Notably, this period was characterized by a blend of veteran artistry and evolving musical experimentation, signifying the band's enduring legacy in the live music scene. The performance captured in the video, showcasing both classic and lesser-known tracks, exemplifies their unique approach to live concerts, which often included extended jams and reinterpretations of their songs.
