Madison Square Garden, the worldfamous New York City arena, was a home away from home for the Grateful Dead, a reliable sanctuary where the band would ultimately play 52 shows, a record at the time. The venuersquos fine acoustics combined with the fansrsquonbspunbridled energy consistently brought out the best in the Dead. At the bandrsquos 2015 induction ceremony into Madison Square Gardenrsquos Walk Of Fame, Bobby Weir said ldquoThis place was both horrifying and titillating with an audience that was discerning but ravenous. We had to rise to the occasion every time.rdquonbspnbspMADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NEW YORK, NY 3981 will be available as a 3CD set.ldquoAs Jerry Garcia famously said, Madison Square Garden was lsquojuiced.rsquo It had an energy unlike any other venue the Grateful Dead played, particularly of this size, owing to the symbiotic relationship between the Dead, the Dead Heads, and New York City itself, says Grateful Dead legacy manager and archivist David Lemieux. ldquoThe Dead didnrsquot play the Garden until 1979, almost the midpoint of their performing career. but once they got rolling, they made it a home away from home, playing 10 shows in the next 15 years.
