'An aphorism, properly stamped and molded, has not been "deciphered" when it has simply been read; rather one has then to begin its interpretation, for which is required an art of interpretation.' -- Nietzsche, 'On the Genealogy of Morals'

The Bill Graham Tribute concert was on 11/3/91 at Golden Gate Park Polo Fields, San Francisco, California. The Grateful Dead section saw a laid back country groove, with guest appearances by John Fogerty and Neil Young. The atmosphere was that of a festival; the mood of the mostly young people was relaxed and joyous. It is a nice moment.
It was a free concertcalled called "Laughter, Love and Music" and was attended by about 300,000 people Vince Welnick was on keyboards for the Grateful Dead. Welnick remained a member of Grateful Dead and the band's keyboard player until Jerry Garcia's death in August 1995, when the group disbanded. Welnick suffered from depression badly and it eventually killed him.

Yes, it is a nice moment. They had a minor resurgence in 1991 before the descent into the realms of hell which was the last few years of the Dead. If I was a suspicious sort, I would say that the position of keyboardist in the Dead was a veil of tears. My favourite still is Keith Godchaux ... he anchored the era of open jazz-inflected improvisation of the 1970s which was pure gold
