The July, 1987 tour by Bob Dylan and the Grateful Dead kicked off with two shorter-than-usual sets or one extended set from the Dead, followed by a ninety-minute set with the Dead in the role of Dylan’s back-up band. At three shows, to the delight of Deadheads, Garcia broke out his pedal steel guitar for Dylan’s performances of “I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight” and “Tomorrow Is a Long Time.” During the tour, the Dead, energized by backing their hero, consistently played well. The band stunned Deadheads by opening set two at Giants Stadium on July 12 with the Garcia guitar elucidation “Morning Dew.” — Aces Back to Back: The History of the Grateful Dead (1965 - 2013), page 118. https://youtube/watch?v=VS-XBSnTF-s
