On this day in 1990, the #GratefulDead played what I think of as the last, highest peak of the best performances of their career: "Eyes of the World" with Branford Marsalis on sax. Oh sure, they played some good sets after that. But to me, this was as good as it gets, with Garcia duetting on his MIDI wind instrument with Branford as the band cooked behind them. It makes me weep for joy. https://youtu.be/Gk7odWtx1c8?si=59ip8KiBabkdbdN7
