Touch of Grey

Why we love this band. Every little new nuance in each version. Love the way Garcia sings, "Oh well the Touch of Grey.." and the way he pronounces it.

Trippy underwater solo like the 2/24/73 version. Only a couple months away and the resurrection of this tune starting up.

About as fine as a version you'll get. This one is absolutely soaring. 3/20/77 second solo like. I mean just listen. It's inspired big time!

Ripping version as are most from 70. First half of the tune is the Mickey and Billy Show. Second half is all screaming Garcia leads... Smokes!

I swear Bobby sings, "the woman has the man by the balls you know" at which point I think Jerry finds amusing and goes "yeah!" you can tell they were fired up after that line cause Jerry tears into screaming solo. This one's good guys. Check it.
