The latest live Grateful Dead video from the band’s recently-launched “All The Years Live” series is now available through the band’s official YouTube page. The new video features “New Speedway Boogie” from June 17th, 1991 at East Rutherford, NJ’s Giants Stadium.
As the band’s official archivist David Lemieux explains in the video’s description, “Another Garcia-Hunter classic that disappeared from the repertoire for way too long, ‘New Speedway Boogie’ was gone from 1970 to 1991, when it finally returned in February at the Oakland Coliseum. This bluesy Workingman’s Dead standout stretched out and allowed the Dead to take it to some exciting places.”
This 1991 Giants Stadium show, which will be featured as part of the forthcoming Giants Stadium 1987, 1989, 1991 box set, featured an opening set by Little Feat. “New Speedway Boogie” appeared midway through the second set and featured some delicate interplay between Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and Bruce Hornsby.
