On 3/9/81 at Madison Square Garden, the Grateful Dead recaptured their early ’70s vibe, exploring new musical paths each night. Brent Mydland’s Hammond organ adds fresh layers to a set that moves from the energetic “Feel Like A Stranger” and tender “Althea” to intense and dramatic highlights like “China>Rider,” “Samson And Delilah,” and “Stella Blue.” Restored and mastered with care, this show is vibrant and dynamic.
