From Grateful Dead of the Day
In the midst of their European tour, the Dead opened a run at Wembley Arena on this day in 1990. The boys put up a sweet first set jam before going into a tasty rendition of Bruce's Valley Road. Later, a mighty Terrapin takes it into Drums, and a flat-out joyous Wheel comes out the other side. Listen to the entire show and read about the 1990 European tour at Grateful Dead of the Day.
Recorded on this day in 1980 at Radio City Music Hall and released in 1981, Dead Ahead is one of the band's classic concert films. Click on over to Grateful Dead of the Day and check it out, whether for the first or hundredth time.
With Bobby and Pigpen on leave, Elvin Bishop sat in with the band on this day in 1968, spurring Jerry and the boys on into some low-down blues jams. Read more about Elvin and his time with the Dead and listen to the show at Grateful Dead of the Day.
