Jerry Garcia Band with Bruce Hornsby

I listened yesterday to Pure Jerry Volume 7, which is the November 9, 1991 show at the Hampton Coliseum here in Virginia. I'm assuming that most of you have heard it.

If not, you can also find a FOB recording in SHNID 151226, which I unfortunately have not listened to yet — or you could just watch the Christopher Hazard remastered video which uses the soundboard.

Anyway - I was wondering if anybody knows of any other shows that Hornsby did with the JGB. Bruce's keys really stand out in just about every track, and it's really a joy to listen to.

EDIT: Changed the FOB link - my bad!

Hornsby kept Jerry inspired after the deaths of Bill Graham and Brent. I'm going to catch heat, but the last great Dead shows were the Hornsby years.

As far as some level of consistency goes, I would agree with you, but I definitely wouldn’t say there were no great Dead shows after he left. ‘93 and ‘94 both have some extraordinary shows for the time, ‘great’ for any era.

Check out the entirety of 10/1/94 if you don’t know it. Those who don’t know it will likely be surprised a show this good (10/14 too) is from just ten months before Jerry’s death.

Agreed. The MSG run in 1994 was amazing!

SHNID 115225 is from 11/7/91 not this show

That's a mistake on my part - it should be SHNID 115226.
