Wake Up To Find Out Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY 3/29/90 (2014)

""Wake Up to Find Out" is a three-CD live album by the Grateful Dead containing the complete concert recorded on March 29, 1990 at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. With such a long and varied career there are "hot" and "cold" phases when it comes to Grateful Dead concerts and music. In the early 1970s in particular they were untouchable in terms of their stage shows, Yet by 1995 as Jerry Garcia's health declined they were listless and mediocre, sadly burned out after endless touring and management pressures. In this sense the 1990 tour of the US and Canada, is considered by many Deadheads, as their last great tour. This sees the great jazz saxophonist Branford Marsalis join the band on stage to exchange solos with Jerry Garcia. It is electrifying and has tantalised Dead fans ever since.Amazingly this was the first time Marsalis had played with the Dead and it was a revelation. In these performances, Jerry Garcia, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir and Brent Mydland (sadly later to die in of the summer of 1990 of an overdose) are firing on all cylinders. The presence of Marsalis sees the band rise to the improvisational challenge. Overall this is a killer concert and a hugely worthy addition to the immense library and musical canon of Grateful Dead music." (Muso Muso)
