Grateful Dead

On July 10, 1990, during their performance at Carter-Finley Stadium, the Grateful Dead were nearing the end of an era, as this concert took place just a few years before the band’s disbandment in 1995. Prior to this live recording, the Grateful Dead released the studio album "In the Dark" in 1987, which marked a significant comeback for the band, revitalizing their popularity in the mainstream music scene. The album featured hits like "Touch of Grey," which became their first-ever Billboard Hot 100 single. By 1990, the band was enjoying considerable success, maintaining loyal fans while also attracting new listeners. This period was characterized by their extensive touring, which was integral to their identity as a live band. The performance at Carter-Finley Stadium is emblematic of their improvisational style and the communal experience they fostered with audiences, continuing their legacy as one of the quintessential live concert bands in rock history.
