It Was 20 Years Ago Today. RIP Brent Mydland



Like a feather in a whirlwind
Blow away

My wife and I were in Columbus, Ohio and had just finished going on Summer Tour in 1990. We heard on the television that it was being rumored that Brent had died. I immediately called David Gans to verify if the news was true. When David confirmed the news, our hearts were broken.

For me, it was the beginning of the end of the unraveling of the Grateful Dead. I did go on Fall Tour in 1990 to see the changes in the band and continued to see lots of shows, but I think most Deadheads would agree that the band never really regained their mojo that they had from the early spring of '89 to the middle of '90.
