The Grateful Dead played their historic In Concert Against AIDS benefit on May 27th, 1989, alongside Tracy Chapman, Tower of Power, Los Lobos, Joe Satriani, and John Fogerty. The benefit would raise funds to support Northern California AIDS agencies, raising awareness and combatting the stigmas against the disease. The energy of the Bay Area coming together to support the cause led to on stage collaborations with Bobby and Jerry joining John Fogerty on guitar and vocals, as well as Randy Jackson on bass, and Steve Jordan on drums. Watch a bit of the Dead’s performance of “Althea” during the show, available in full on the Grateful Dead YouTube Channel.

That feeling every time “Truckin’” comes on 💃🕺 "From the penultimate show before the Dead's nearly two year touring hiatus, this version of ‘Truckin'’ was a highlight of the Grateful Dead Movie, for both its strong performance with its climactic, explosive ending, but also for the wonderful fan and Dead Head scene intercuts throughout. A top notch rendition." - David Lemieux Dance through the 50th anniversary celebration of the Dead’s Winterland 1974 run by revisiting “Truckin’” on the Grateful Dead YouTube Channel.

"After 16 years away, ‘Black-Throated Wind’ returned to the repertoire on 3/16/90, one of the most welcome returns to the repertoire in Dead history. Bobby's standout from his 1972 ‘Ace’ album, we loved every performance of this classic." - David Lemieux Watch the Dead’s performance of “Black-Throated Wind,” captured at Mile High Stadium in Denver, CO on 6/28/91, on the Grateful Dead YouTube channel
