The Coda Collection has announced a new partnership with the Grateful Dead and Rhino to supply the streaming service with exclusive archival content. Along with Wednesday’s announcement, The Coda Collection has released a trailer highlighting the upcoming offerings.

The initial partnership promises to deliver three full-length Grateful Dead shows from the band’s celebrated era of 1989–1991. Up first is the 1989 summer tour opener from July 2nd at Foxboro Stadium in Foxboro, MA.

Available to stream for the first time ever, the show highlights the Dead hitting a historic late career-high as the unfathomable success of “Touch of Grey” and a nearly quarter-century of underground status finally burst through to the mainstream and into stadiums. July 2nd, 1989 at Foxboro is available now to stream via The Coda Collection on Amazon Video.

On September 8th, The Coda Collection will share the Grateful Dead’s July 12th, 1989 concert at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. The 7/12/89 show occurred on the same storied 1989 summer tour, just days after the Foxboro opener. The Dead’s rising popularity in the cultural mainstream had attracted a media circus of unwanted attention prior to the show as numerous politicians chastised the band as nothing more than a traveling three-ring circus of dopers. Nevetherthess, the show stands among the best of the era with inspired renditions of “Estimated Prophet > “Eyes of the World” and Brent Mydland‘s epic telling of Traffic‘s “Dear Mr. Fantasy”.

The last in the initial series of concerts will come on September 29th with the Grateful Dead Live at Giants Stadium 6/17/91. This show finds the Dead armed with the guest keyboardist of Bruce Hornsby as they shook things up with the first-ever “Eyes of the World” show opener.

The Coda Collection was launched back in February on Amazon Video and hosts a trove of live music content. From iconic documentaries to recent livestreams from nugs.net and other services, The Coda Collection has slowly been building a vault of live music content which will only be bolstered by the partnership with the Grateful Dead and Rhino.
