Robert F. Kennedy Stadium, Washington, D.C., July 12 & 13, 1989 is a 6-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. As the name suggests, it contains the two complete concerts recorded on July 12 and 13, 1989, at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium in Washington, D.C. It was released on November 10, 2017. [1] [2] [3] [4] The box set is individually numbered and limited to 15,000 copies.
A concert video of the July 12, 1989 show was screened in movie theaters on August 1, 2017 – the 75th anniversary of the birth of Jerry Garcia – for the annual Grateful Dead Meet-Up at the Movies. [5]
On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "Previously unreleased and culled from the band's own 24-track master tapes, the July 12 & 13 shows from 1989 occurred during what many fans consider to be one of their strongest late-period runs. Still enjoying the heightened commercial success from their 1987 hit "Touch of Grey", their repertoire of classic set staples and newly embraced standouts like "Hell in a Bucket" showed a band firing on all cylinders." [6]
In All About Jazz, Doug Collette wrote, "... the two performances that comprise this package deserve to stand on their own terms as final evidence of this tour as part of the last thoroughly stellar string of concerts the Grateful Dead offered before a variety of extenuating circumstances impeded the climb to such heights as contained here.... There's no question the perfectly-proportioned mix of John Cutler's recording, equally broad in scope and deep in range, renders the experience virtually real-time..." [7]
