The Grateful Dead 1991 - Turn On Your Lovelight - with Bruce Hornsby and Branford Marsalis

By Jack Brummet, Rock Ed.

Some of my favorite Dead shows were from the dark time after Brent died and Bruce Hornsby joined the band for a year and a half. Things got even better when Branford Marsalis came along. He played many shows with them around that same period.
