Regarded as one of several standouts from the band's landmark fall '91 tour, this stop in Hampton is certainly worthy of its lore. In addition to having all the hallmarks of a quintessential latter era Jerry Garcia Band performance, this night featured a very special guest: Virginia's own Bruce Hornsby joining on electric piano for the first and only time. The setlist is typically well balanced mixing road tested staples, like the show opening "How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You)" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," along with more recent additions to Garcia's songbook including Van Morrison's "Bright Side of the Road" and the show-closing "What A Wonderful World." Playing with Hornsby always seemed to ignite a spark within Garcia and this proved to be no exception with their potent chemistry fueling lively versions of "Ain't No Bread in the Breadbox," "You Never Can Tell (C'est La Vie)," and "Midnight Moonlight." The collection is pressed to five 180gram LPs in a limited edition of 7,500. Housed in a deluxe clamshell box, the release features new artwork by painter Graham Yarrington and an etching on the closing side.
