That pic was from Summer Tour 1990, Three Rivers Stadium, Pittsburgh, Pa.

Great show and great tour, one of the best years of my life...

Always loved that pic. Was also the site of my final night with Jer, 6/30/95 a few years later

Even from the start, they had the very best sound systems they could afford(and even some they couldnt!)...

I believe those Altec Lansing VOTTs were Mac fed also, what a sound

You can see what is obviously a McIntosh tube amp on the floor next to the left-hand VOTT. Can't tell what model it is, but the nameplate is distinctive even when out of focus.

Ok. I did some of that East Coast tour, but not that particular show.
 
Unveiling Dave's Picks Volume 6

"We're really bad at keeping secrets around here so just imagine how hard it's been for us to contain our excitement about the 2 now complete shows, once missing reels for more than 40 years, that have been selected to make up Dave's Picks Volume 6. The first major return of material to the vault since 2005's Houseboat Tapes, Dave's Picks Volume 6 will feature never-before-heard material from 2/2/70 Fox Theater, St. Louis, MO and 12/20/69 Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA. Long a mystery, the riddle of the 2/2/70 set list has now been solved and the music restored to its proper - and spectacular - sequence. 2/2/70 is also notable as the first show without Tom Constanten. Tom, however, makes his return to give his first-hand perspective on 12/20/69 in this volume's liner notes. Pigpen fiends, ask and you shall receive. Both shows feature loads of Pigpen including a major 35+ minute "Lovelight" from 12/20/69. Recorded by Bear with an excellent mix and sound quality, this very special release feels like a return to the classics.

If you've been curious about the subscribers-only bonus disc, this one is the stuff of lore as well. Like Dave's Picks Volume 6, the last-ever Grateful Dead show at the Fillmore Auditorium - 12/21/69, was once missing reels, but we've acquired the elusive first reel to go with the end of the show that we've always had. This jam-packed CD, featuring 45 minutes of never-before-heard music, includes one of only three versions of "Smokestack Lightning" from 1969. You most certainly won't want to miss out on this highly collectible Dead!"
