Shoreline Amphitheatre
A venue built with the Dead in mind, in bikeable distance of their old stomping grounds in Palo Alto, Shoreline Amphitheatre’s circus tent–like pavilion was the band’s final outdoor home on their own turf. Following the tragic death of Brent Mydland the previous summer, they toured with the biggest Dead lineup in years, drafting keyboardist Vince Welnick and temporary pianist Bruce Hornsby, giving them the ’90s equivalent of their Europe ’72 double-keyboard tandem. On the set-closing “Deal,” Welnick’s on slightly sparkling digital tack piano and Hornsby’s on the ever-busy grand, and everybody gets into the act during a finale, along with Weir’s manically weird rhythm color, building to a collective whirlwind crescendo around Garcia’s solo.
