Nightfall of Diamonds is a double live album by the Grateful Dead released in 2001. It was recorded on October 16, 1989 at Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford and includes the full concert. More music from this period can be found on Without a Net, Postcards of the Hanging, and Formerly the Warlocks.

The liner notes say "In memory of Adam Katz," a Deadhead who was mysteriously found dead after the band's show at the same venue two nights earlier.

This show took place on Bob Weir's 42nd birthday and the band briefly plays "happy birthday" between "Stuck Inside of Mobile..." and "Let it Grow."
