Rhino Records and the Grateful Dead have set the way back machine to 1990 for the latest edition of Road Trips. Road Trips Volume 2 Number 1 contains highlights from the Dead’s first post-Brent run at Madison Square Garden from Fall Tour 1990. These shows are among keyboardist Vince Welnick’s first gigs with the band and also features Bruce Hornsby on piano.

Head to Dead.net to preorder this two-disc set and you’ll get a bonus disc chock full of highlights from the 9/18/90 MSG show. You won’t have to wait too long to get your discs as preorders ship on Wednesday.
