The Grateful Dead's All The Years Live video series returns this week with a trip back to Summer Tour '89.
This 7/7/89 "Loser" dates back to the band's one-off stop at Philadelphia's JFK Stadium, later released as Crimson, White and Indigo.
"When 'Loser' was 'on,' the song was sung with conviction and passion, and the instrumental segment built to a massive crescendo, one of those moments that indicated the band was having a great night," explains GD legacy manager/archivist David Lemieux. "In the late 1980s into the early 1990s, there were several versions of 'Loser' that fit this bill. The Albany rendition from 3/24/90 gets a lot of the mentions, but this one from the previous summer is every bit as great."
