Description
Meadowlands, October ’89: Brent in full cry, Jerry flirting with MIDI textures, and Healy giving the room a clear, muscular mix. Nightfall Of Diamonds captures late-era Dead with surprising finesse across this 4LP spread. The first set has lift—Picasso Moon snaps into focus, and Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo rolls with that easy, elastic swing—while the inevitable Drums/Space finds the band stretching time without losing the thread.
On this pressing the room opens up and the low end sits deeper, so Phil’s lines anchor the jams rather than blur them. Imaging also feels more honest, making small interplay easier to follow, especially in the quieter passages before the big payoffs.
It belongs right next to late-80s Brent-era Dead on your shelf, and won’t look out of place beside early Phish live journeys for the way it balances songcraft and stretch. If you’d rather order from home, you can buy Grateful Dead records online with us. Packaging is generous and tidy, the sort of set you actually want to flip through on a Saturday arvo in Preston or Melbourne proper.
Fans who rate tight-but-open 1989 shows will find plenty to revisit here, without the brittle sheen some era recordings carry. Available online now or in our Melbourne shop, an easy pick for any Grateful Dead fan.
