20 Years Later: The Ten Best Grateful Dead Shows of 1990

Twenty Years ago, the Dead could be found closing out a six-night-run at Madison Square Garden that included some of the top performances of the year. Following a creative resurgence that began in ’89, the Dead played through 1990 with a rediscovered sense of inspiration that frequently allowed their music to reach higher levels. After a series of outstanding fall performances up the East Coast, the Dead returned to Europe for a very successful run of shows that allowed many fans the chance to witness the band in small halls for the first time in years. Tragedy would strike the band, yet again, following the death of Brent Mydland in July of 1990 forcing the band to embark down a new musical path aided by the help of Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby.

This list presents, in chronological order, the most memorable Grateful Dead performances from last year.

1) Capital Centre, Landover, Maryland, March 16 Featuring the long-overdue return of “Black Throated Wind,” the first set also closed powerfully with “Bird Song” followed by “Blow Away.” Now how about bringing back “Here Comes Sunshine” ?

2) Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, New York, March 28 This interesting show featured the premiere of the Dead’s rendition of the Band song “The Weight.” This song was on many people’s list of cover tunes they would like to see the Dead play, and they were not disappointed. Note especially Phil’s turn to sing lead. Great stuff.

3) Nassau Coliseum, March 29 The much heralded guest appearance of jazz great Branford Marsalis on saxophone truly energized the band. The “Eyes of the World” made it to the live album Without a Net (as did other songs from this three-show run in Nassau), but it is in the versions of “Bird Song” and “Dark Star” that the improvisations really shine.

5) World Music Theatre, Tinley Park, Illinois July 23 Brent’s last show. Still singing and playing well until the end, Brent performed “Never Trust A Woman” on this night, and one song during each of the other two shows of this run. There was no sign of the tragedy that was to come. An era came to a close to soon. Brent, we miss you.

6) Madison Square Garden, New York City, September 19 With Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby recently joining the Dead (ingenious attempt to beat the keyboardist jinx by having two at once), the Dead’s sound is, as it had to be, drastically different. Attempting to replace what had become an important part of the Dead’s sound (both Brent’s sung harmonies and his keyboard leads and fills) has taken the band in a whole new direction, as was necessary. This show is an example of the incredible progress that this new configuration has made in a very short time. Note especially the jams during “Slipknot” and “Franklins Tower” (especially Hornsby’s fine jazzy piano rolls). Given time, this version of the Dead will certainly reach new heights of excellence.

7) Madison Square Garden, September 20 “Dark Star,” its two verses buttressed around an oddly placed “Playing In The Band” reprise, shows the new Dead playing well and taking chances. The quality of the play here shows why they were able to break out this segue with confidence.

8) I C C, Berlin, Germany, October 20 If the Berlin Wall had not come down already, this show may have done the trick, featuring more top-rate piano play from Bruce Hornsby (note the solo leading from “Let It Grow” ).

9) Wembley Arena, London, England, October 31 A solid show, noteworthy for a strong first set and a playful, now standard for Halloween, “Werewolves Of London.”

10) Wembley Arena, November 1 The “Playing In The Band” /" Dark Star" sandwich (first verses before drums, second ones after space) threatens to become a segue of choice, and is continuing evidence of the progress of the latest orientation of the Dead.

Grateful Dead Tear Through Fall Tour Opener At Richfield Coliseum, On This Day In 1991 [Video/Audio]

Thirty-three years ago today, on September 4th, 1991, the Grateful Dead   descended on the  Richfield Coliseum  in Richfield, OH to kick off their 1991 fall tour featuring the short-lived lineup featuring both Bruce Hornsby  and  Vince Welnick . After a few weeks off the road, the band was eager to get back into action and delivered a memorable barn-burner for their Ohio fans.

Opening with “Let The Good Times Roll”, the Dead settled in with Deadhead favorites including “Jack Straw”, “Walkin’ Blues”, “Friend Of The Devil”, and “Tennessee Jed”. The second set that night was a heater from start to finish and heard the band tear through a nearly-30-minute rendition of their classic “Scarlet Begonias” > “Fire On The Mountain” combination, an especially psychedelic “Drums” > “Space” segment, and some uplifting energy during the jams of “The Wheel” and “Not Fade Away”.

Civil rights activist Sybil Morial, wife of New Orleans’ first Black mayor, dead at 91

Advertise with us

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Sybil Haydel Morial, a civil rights activist, widow of New Orleans’ first Black mayor, Ernest “Dutch” Morial, and mother to former Mayor, Marc Morial, has died at age 91.

Her family announced her death Wednesday in a statement issued by the National Urban League, which Marc Morial serves as president and CEO. Details on the time and cause of death were not released.

“She confronted the hard realities of Jim Crow with unwavering courage and faith, which she instilled not only in her own children but in every life she touched,” the statement said.

Morial was born Nov. 26, 1932, and raised by her physician father and schoolteacher mother in a deeply segregated New Orleans. She later met the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in Boston and returned home inspired to do her part in the civil rights movement.

In her 2015 memoir, “Witness to Change: From Jim Crow to Empowerment,” Morial described how she and her friends, including the future mayor of Atlanta, Andrew Young, were chased out of New Orleans’ City Park by a police officer because of their skin color.

She attended Xavier University, one of the city’s historically Black higher learning institutions, before transferring to Boston University, where King was pursuing a divinity degree and guest-preaching at churches.

Later, while traveling home, she and other Black passengers had to move to the baggage car when the train crossed the Mason-Dixon line.

“The barricade that kept us out of schools, jobs, restaurants, hotels, and even restrooms would have to be dismantled brick by brick, law by law,” she wrote.

She was in Boston in 1954, the year the Supreme Court issued a landmark decision overturning racial segregation in schools.

“Those of us from the South … We wanted to go back home because we wanted to be a part of change. We knew change was coming,” she said during a 2018 interview with Louisiana Public Broadcasting.

That summer, she tried to integrate New Orleans’ other leading universities — Tulane and Loyola. She signed up for summer sessions at both, and attended classes for nearly a week at Tulane while they waited for her transcript to arrive from Boston, but was eventually told that she could not enroll because of her race.

At Loyola, she was told that “according to state law, Negroes cannot attend the same school as whites.”

Her return home in 1954 also brought her face-to-face with the man she would marry: Ernest Nathan “Dutch” Morial. The two fell into an intense discussion about the court’s recent desegregation decision during a summer vacation book club.

They wed the next year and she supported her husband thereafter, raising five children and teaching school while he ran for the state Legislature in 1968 and for mayor in 1978.

She was often the one who had to shield their children from the resulting racist threats, racing for the phone to answer it first.

During Morial’s first mayoral term, National Guard troops were stationed at their house to protect the family during the 1979 police strike that led to the cancellation of Mardi Gras parades.

Sybil Morial also became a city power player in her own right.

She founded the Louisiana League of Good Government, which helped Black people register to vote at a time when they still had to pass tests such as memorizing the Preamble to the Constitution. She also was a plaintiff in a lawsuit challenging a Louisiana law that barred public school teachers from being involved in groups fighting segregation, according to the LSU Women’s Center.

She held various administrative positions over 28 years at Xavier and served on numerous boards and advisory committees across the city.

“Few women have played such an outsized role in the recent history of New Orleans,” former Mayor Mitch Landrieu said in a social media post. Current Mayor LaToya Cantrell called Morial “a New Orleans treasure and trailblazer” and said the city’s flag would fly at half-staff in her honor.

Monday mornings

The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week.

As part of the 1984 World’s Fair in New Orleans, she championed the building of a pavilion dedicated to African American contributions and experiences in American history, and in 1987 she was the executive producer of “A House Divided,” a documentary about desegregation in New Orleans.

After her husband died unexpectedly in 1989 at age 60, Morial wrote that she briefly flirted with the idea of running for mayor in 1994. Instead, her son Marc, then 35, ran and won, launching a second generation of Morial mayors.

Funeral plans have not been announced. Sybil Morial is survived by her five children, seven grandchildren and a great-granddaughter.
