The first entry in The Grateful Dead's Road Trips series for the new year has been announced.
Road Trips Vol. 4, No. 2: April Fools '88 is only the second Dead show ever released from that year, a year which was preceded by highlights on either side of the calendar. (The previous year saw the release of the band's Top 10 hit "Touch of Grey" and a tour with Bob Dylan; the next year saw a flurry of officially released live material.) This set captures, over three discs, the band's April 1, 1988 set at the Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, NJ (since renamed the Continental Airlines Arena and currently the IZOD Center), as well as highlights from the prior night's show at the same venue.
