The latest edition of the Grateful Dead’s weekly archival series Shakedown Stream features a 30th anniversary of sorts as the red-hot July 10th, 1990 show from Carter-Finley Stadium at NC State in Raleigh, NC will be made available to the public for the first time ever this Friday, July 10th.
This show, which took place in the middle of the Dead’s acclaimed 1990 Summer tour, is rife with highlights including pianist Bruce Hornsby sitting in for a good portion on his trusty accordion as well as an otherworldly lightning storm that struck a generator and enveloped the stage in darkness for several minutes during the first-set-closing “Promised Land.”
The full concert, as well as a very special pre-show Q&A session with noted Dead experts David Lemieux & Gary Lambert featuring Dead & Company guitarist John Mayer can be seen on the Dead’s official YouTube channel this Friday, 7/10/20, at 8pm EST.
