MICK TAYLOR with the Grateful Dead, 9/24/88 Rainforest Benefit, MSG. Hall & Oates, Suzanne Vega as well.

[highplainsdem]

The entire video is 2 hours and 39 minutes. Brilliant 18 minutes with Mick, from 16 to 34 minutes in, joining the band for West L.A. Fadeaway and Little Red Rooster.

Jerry was looking very happy to have Mick there, though it wasn't the best night for him (laryngitis). This benefit concert was broadcast live on radio.

Dead.net writeup and setlist below the video.

Btw, I ran across this in the wee hours last night, reading comments on a guitar instructor's video about another performance of Mick's. I hadn't known that Mick had appeared with the Dead and had to check it out.
