In September 1988 the Grateful Dead had an epic run of 9 shows at Madison Square Garden,  with a rare benefit performance to close the run.

September 14,15,16,18,19,20,22,23,&24

The September 24th, show was a benefit to save the world’s tropical rain forest with proceeds donated to Greenpeace, Cultural Survival and the Rainforest Action Network. Other guests that night included Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones), Daryl Hall and John Oats and Jack Casady from Hot Tuna.

 

 

This epic run of 9 shows topped the Dead’s previous record in New York, the 8 shows at Radio City in October 1980. The longest run of shows in Grateful Dead history were the 15 Warfield Theater shows in San Francisco from September 25 to October 14, 1980. The Dead duplicated their 9-shows at the Garden in 1991.

These are 21 remastered CDs of the 9 shows and the 9/13/88 press conference held at the United Nations building for the 9/24 concert.

Absolutely great to have now and years from now.

All will be shipped with tracking and delivery confirmation.
