Touch of Grey

Miami Arena

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!

Deadhead 21 check out spring 78 for elongated bridge solos. 4/16/78 has always been one of my favorites and then there's 7/8/78, this was always my bellwether version.

Just made a comment on the latest Dave's Picks about the Mason's. This one puts all others to absolute shame....period. F'kin A!!

Never fully appreciated what a kick ass tune this is. It was always that weird lyrical song that was short lived. However, what a Completely RIPPIN' f'n song. They rock this mother! I think this is my favorite of the 3 from the new Dave's Picks

This is THE definitive version. No question. Way better than the sterile may 77 version...IMHO
