“Brent’s passing came at a time where we were experiencing enormous show attendances and Brent was at his best.  With ‘In the Dark,’ we had to start defending the shows. People were breaking in. It was 50,000 people inside, 50,000 outside…Brent was really cranking, and we were bringing a lot of the old stuff out – ‘Death Don’t Have No Mercy,’ ‘Attics of My Life.’ There was no pressure to reinvent. We were just being the Grateful Dead. And Jerry was feeling good. On this day in 1990, we lost Brent Mydland and remember him for what he became: forever a member of the Grateful Dead.” - Mickey Hart Remembering Brent Mydland on the anniversary of his passing today 🌹 Photos by Herb Greene, Roger Ressmeyer, and @jayblakesberg
