⚡️7/23/90 ⚡️The Weight. On todays date in 1990 Brent Mydland played his last show with the Grateful Dead. I was at this show and had 6th Row! I remember it like yesterday. Brent was a beacon of light for the Grateful Dead when they really needed one, I absolutely lovee Brents voice he was so fuckin talented it really was just unbelievable this was the last lines he ever sang for the Dead and how fitting they were 😔. R.I.P Brent Mydland u shall always be missed but never forgotten! . . . #deadhe

Let there be songs to fill the air 🌬️🎶 "One of the most-loved Grateful Dead songs, ‘Ripple’ was one of the many standouts on ‘American Beauty.’ It was played 11 times between 1970 & 1971, and then dropped until it returned in 1980, played as the set-closing song every night during the Dead's acoustic sets. It made one final appearance on 9/3/88 in Landover, MD, before being retired for good." - David Lemieux Watch the full performance of the tune from the final night of the Dead’s Radio City M
