The Grateful Dead took the stage at Foxboro Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts on this date in 1990, where they would play the final live version of the John Barlow/Brent Mydland penned “I Will Take You Home.” Mydland died a few weeks later on July 26. The Dead camp also recently shared the final live version of Mydland and Barlow’s “Blow Away” as part of their “All The Years Live” video series.
The ’90 Foxborough show contained a number of fan favorites such as “Shakedown Street,” “Candyman,” “Ramble On Rose” and “One More Saturday Night” along with a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again” in the first set. The second set boasts gems like “Eyes Of The World, “Estimated Prophet,” “Crazy Fingers,” “Uncle John’s Band,” and “Throwing Stones.”
