"Touch of Grey" is about the members of the band getting older or dying. It's a reflection on mortality. It's too bad you never went to a concert, because they were huge fun; everybody had a good time. It wasn't like people who didn't go think: it wasn't an orgy, everybody wasn't stoned out of their minds, etc. People were happy. A lot of fans knew each other. Most of the people were nice. The band didn't always play great, but they're only human - nobody is great all the time. And it was peaceful. There was a good vibration. Practically no fights or violence; you didn't have to be worried about getting hurt. It was a simpler and better time. That's why we miss it.

Yo man.. Jerry wrote this AFTER he almost died after slipping into a coma for days/week. This song was a TRIUMPHANT return to their 25yr+ touring schedule after a long break for him to heal. This song was a celebration. Sadly Jerry passed in '95. Thankfully, the scene will live on forever. Thank you for joining in, please tell your family and friends. WE WILL GET BY! PS: You might have never been able to see the Grateful Dead in their original lineup... but, to be fair, their original lineup ended in the early '70's. The Grateful Dead were never about a certain group of people, they were ALWAYS about a scene and about the music. YES, there were special members like Jerry/Bobby/Phil/Billy and Mickey.. but the music and the scene ALWAYS surpassed the band itself. If you ever want to see 'The Grateful Dead', find a local bluegrass/jam festival and go meet some wonderful and peaceful folks!

The Grateful Dead is an endless rabbit hole. Ventured down many years ago, ...and I'm still down here! Do the mainstay Dead tunes like Casey Jones, Truckin', Sugar Magnolia, Ripple, Friend of the Devil etc., then you'll be ready for some live gems, however they are usually quite lengthy for reactions. Great for you're personal listening as though. Great reaction as always!!!

The Grateful Dead was the only live band to have a taper section where you could set up audio equipment to tape their live shows. They felt they were giving the music to us and if we wanted to keep it that was up to us. I have live show going back to 1970 all the way up to their last show in 1995.

I saw the Dead 6 or 5 or 7 times. It's all a beautiful blur. I am 52 and loved every mushroom chomping bit of it! It will NEVER happen again. Sad but true. Crazy, fun, insane great times. Peace!

Dead heads are the biggest group of band followers that you will ever find, they loved this band more than life itself and even with many members now departed they still believe. The Greatful Dead was a mega force back in the day,long live the GD.

You get a thumbs up for that amazing laugh break when you finally saw the skeletons.

This was the anthem for our collective middle-aged crisis. The Grateful Dead were a huge part of our soundtrack.

The Grateful Dead were the first band in history that could announce a stadium tour the day before it was supposed to start and still sell out every show within hours. Deadheads actually followed the band all over the country and set up basically little cities outside of each venue where they sold merchandise, food, any kind of drug that you would want to get, all just to fund their trip to the next city. The Dead also encouraged their fans to tape their shows and actually set up part of each venue just for people with recorders, so there are thousands of audios of their concerts out there. I got to see them live once back in 1986, and it was an incredible experience. And it’s funny that you say improvisation, because that was half their set. 10 songs may last three hours LOL but their musicianship was incredible.

Yes, Jerry on lead guitar is dead, and Brent on the keyboards (as well as several keyboardists before him) have passed on. The rest of the band is still playing shows in various bands. IIRC, this video was directed by the drummer's son.

I wish you could have experienced a show. The audience alone was a treasure. The Dead were masters of crowd emotion. They didn't just conduct music. They conducted the emotions of 1000s of people. It was an amazing thing to experience.

They are currently touring as Dead and Company with surviving members with John Mayer taking Garcia’s place,Oteil Burbridge on bass,and Jeff Chaminti on keyboards . All world class musicians. Saw them back in the fall in Hampton ,Virginia. Hadn’t seen the GD since the 90’s,but this line up still jammed. Mayer was especially a pleasant surprise .

Seeing them live was an experience all on it's own, the crowd is part of the show!

Who remember WKRP in Cincinnati when Johnny Fever was going to host a tv dance show and brought Grateful Dead records and the producer told him "The kids don't dance to the Grateful Dead."? I didn't get it for many years.

A true pure American band that mixed rock, blues, bluegrass, pop and country.

I've been listening to them all my life, and I don't call myself a head yet. When you can hear them tossing rifts back and forth, and KNOW what they're going to play next when somebody else gives you a random show fragment, that's when you KNOW you've made it, your expert. Me, I don't even catch them giving hints to eachother half the time.

Following the Dead remains some of the best memories/non-memories of my life. I always said every person should experience the Dead live, just once. It's not just the actual concert - no. A Dead show starts when you pack the car to drive to the camp ground pre-show. Set up your camp (sometimes it was just sleeping in the car depending on the weather), and get to the venue at noon on the day of the show. Hang out on Shakedown Street until the gates open to the show around 6 pm-ish. Make sure you're inside the gate to see Traffic open for The Dead, or Bob Dylan, or Rusted Root, or The Black Crowes...

Touch of Gray was The Grateful Dead's first music video. The song was recrded live at a concert in The Bay Area. At the end of the concert, the audience was asked to step outside the venue while they set-up for filming the video. When everything was ready, the entire audience came back in and had a real, natural reaction to what they were treated to. They started performing the song at concerts in 1982, but did not record it in a studio until 1987. (This is the way they did their songs: write them, put them in their concerts, and then studio recording whenever they got around to it. Performing was their # 1 priority. They hold the offical world record for most live performances by one rock group. As for the song itself: a couple of word substitutions will help you understand its meaning. "Every silver lining has its touch of grey". Substitute life for silver lining and problems for touch of grey. This was a song about getting past life's difficulties. There are one or two real world crisis in there. A dairy region was found to have a petroleum product contamination in their cows' milk sometime during the 1970s. "Cows are giving kerosene". So, no matter how bleak things look, we WILL come out on the other side. "I (We) WILL survive". A great song with a greater message!

the grateful dead had many past members, many have passed on some due to health complications, alcohalism, drug overdoes and auto accidents, for all the years they have performed together no other band in the history of music has put on or sold out more shows then the grateful Dead. do some research. i m sure you will be pleasantly surprised.once a Dead Head always a Dead Head. RIP but their music will always live on

Oh Dude, you MUST hear Terrapin Station or my favorite Scarlet Begonia or Deal- smokig hot live version!

Phil Lesh, The Grateful Dead's bassist, has a restaurant/bar/small concert venue in San Rafael (Marin County, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco). The name of the place is Terrapin Crossroads. Their house band is a group called Midnight North. The lead singer of the group, Grahame Lesh, is Phil Lesh's son. I went to a concert of theirs a couple years back at Terrapin Crossroads with some friends. We had dinner there first (the restaurant is *seriously* good!) and then went to the concert. Midnight North played two sets. The first set was their own original music. The second set was a tribute to CSN (Crosby, Stills & Nash). Phil Lesh was there, and he got up on stage and played with the band during the second set. It was an *amazing* evening! If you get a chance to either check out the place, or the band, or both (once we are able to attend live music events and go out to restaurants again, that is), I would totally recommend! This is my favorite Midnight North song... kzread.info/dash/bejne/dn94qqOSXbffc5c.html

Grateful Dead had the most dedicated fans (known as 'Dead Heads") than just about any band (before and after their existence). Some fans dedicated their lives to experiencing Grateful Dead concerts (seeing them hundreds of times).

As you can see in the background, their logo is many variations of a skeleton. (Goes with dead. ) Since the song deals with aging, having them show up as skeletons plays along with the theme.

Saw them at Soldier Field Chicago during their last tour before Brother Jerry passed. When I was working theater security at the World Music in Tinley Park, they did 3 shows. 2nd day was a scorcher. We started at 9am because of the camping fanatics and the band was showing up early. I was strolling around the theater without much to do. Just happened to be around the backstage entrance gate for bands and crew when a couple of limousines were showing up. The crowd outside were going wild so I stayed to help incase anyone jumped the fence or stormed the gate. The supervisor told me to walk the limos in and stand by them when they parked. I'm thinking to myself, "Whys everyone so excited. it's so early and the bands usually fly in before the show" No way was Jerry or anyone going to be here now. So the limo stops. I am standing by the side of the trunk near the back doors. The door opens and some guy says "Thanks man". I turn and there's JERRY GARCIA with his hand out. I'm thinking there are about 10k people out there that would rip my arm off right now. The boss tells us he's ordered lunch for us and we should go cool off under the cover of the pavilion and wait for lunch. So we're all just hanging out and I'm lying on one of the walls with my eyes closed when I hear the speakers kick in and a violin playing. Then a sax doing a jazz solo. I'm like wtf is going on? I open my eyes and look at the stage and there's Jerry all alone with a guitar and a sampler just noodling through samples entertaining us all through lunch break with our very own Jerry concert. I was never really a starstruck person,which made me good at my job. But, man, that there is something that's stuck with me for 30 years now. I think its because of the "importance" others have put on him and his music, it's made such an impression. I have a lot of memories of my experiences during that time. But this one is the biggest.

Can't go back you can never go back....

Filmed at Laguna Seca Raceway, Monterey, CA. In the early morning hours of May 10, 1987. Allot of the smoke you see is fog coming in from the Pacific ocean. They started filming about an hour after the second show of the 3-day run and they must have done 50+ takes, alternating the band and the skeletons, but we loved it!. They finished around 5am, and they still had one more show to do, later that day. ..It was a Sunday, Mothers Day and my birthday! :)

I was there in the '60's when these S.F. groups were just local bands, playing at the Avalon or Fillmore. We kids knew they were better than what was playing on the radio. The best time of any concert was when they'd get together and jam teaching each other new sounds maybe until 2 or 3 in the morning. I remember the first time I took L.S.D. was at one of their concerts. They weren't a commercial band only in it for the money. They were there to perform. Sometimes one of them would get 'hot' and they'd let him do his solo. Every concert was different, they were loosely scripted. It was like they were always experimenting trying new things. On our local juke box there are 2501 of their songs, more than any other! Their fans would follow them from coast to coast around the country, they were called "Deadheads". The last concert I saw them at was in Las Vegas. I was hired to be part of a clean up crew and Bob Weir demanded we'd be let inside. There were no drugs at the party unless you went outside to smoke some. I was totally straight but I got high just listening to the music. They were that good. They never did a protest song, they were there to PARTY!

Or Ramble on rose Live

So, the Grateful Dead live was quite an experience. Their core fans loved this group like no other. In big arenas where normally that have pretty tight security, Dead fans couldn't be controlled. Huge dance party. One of the best live bands ever.

Also, there's a film called The Music Never Stopped about a guy who's memory has gone wonky in terms of creating new memories but his dad uses his love of Grateful Dead to try and help him. It's a very sweet film.

Hehe. A little something for “Jerry’s Kids” huh? Well done.

Jerry Garcia was such an amazing musician! The Grateful Dead has so many different sounds... This is a great one though! (Edit: The skeleton actually has a name, it's Rosie.

Jerry (Guitarist with the Grey Hair) and Brent (the keyboardist) have both passed on. There have also been other members of the band who have passed (oddly, they are all Keyboardists - Pigpen and Keith prior to this and Vince long after this). The other 4 members in this video are alive and well, still making music.

I’m 33 years old and I seen all the members live multiple times in Las Vegas in the late 80’s through the early 90’s

Get a copy of "THE GRATEFUL DEAD MOVIE" and watch the whole thing, nonstop.

That face at 2:00 is priceless! Love this my friend. Find you some LIVE Dead. Turn this mole hill into a mountain.

Three words: Box Of Rain. No live video (song was not always performed live), but very emotional lyrics...one of only TWO Dead songs to ever make me cry.

Love your comments! It is always good to hear what others think of the Dead. Got engaged at a show on April Fools Day, they are a huge part of my life.

You actually can still see them live. Although I'm not a fan of John Mayer, he's doing a phenomenal job filling the Jerry guitar role, and Oteil is a pretty respectable bass player. It's as close as you can get these days....or, um, a Darkstar Orchestra show. That's pretty legit too.

Jeff Holleger if you don’t want to be corrected on your mistakes, then don’t make any.

Some of the best, most incredible moments in my life were at Dead shows. Their music is amazing and will always be a part of my life. I will survive, we deadheads will survive. Love your reactions bro.

I was lucky enough to jam (harmonize) with the remaining members in Marin Co (navato) in the early 2000's. I was HONORED!

Hey, man. I've been having a rough time for a few years. Medical. Anyway, seeing you light up a little bit combined with this tune made me feel a little better. I've got happy tears. Hope you and yours stay safe. Thanks for this channel. Sincerely.

I think Jerry would die laughing at this man's videos 😂 I know I did

Jerry & Jamal would really enjoy each other I think. I think they could have been great friends.

They were the world's biggest jam band and most of their recordings were done live. That song and video came out in the 80s with MTV they've been around since the 60s

Some bands copyright claim and block reaction videos. Very short sighted. Then there's some, like the Dead and others, that embrace it. Good on them.

The Dead had a ‘taper’s section’ at their concerts. Some of those tapes have become legendary. The Dead was best live

The "Did I just see what I thought I saw?" moment. I still think you should try the Cherry Garcia flavored ice cream from Ben and Jerry's.

Would love to see a reaction to anything from the Talking Heads. Shoulders be boppin from nearly every song on Remain in Light

Got my Mom to go see the band at Shoreline on a Sunday afternoon show, she had such a great experience and said when they came back to get her a ticket. Unfortunately that was the last Shoreline Show as Jerry passed afterwards!

I had no idea they sang this... WOW WAY TO KEWL 🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼🤠🤘🏼

Got dragged (I wasn't a fan) to a Dead concert by a co-worker. Had a great time - but it was a little weird that people were still dancing on the stairways between songs. I remember the silhouettes from across the arena in the doorways at the top of the stairs. Or maybe it was the acid he gave me before the show.

When I first discovered MTV as a kid in the late 80s/early 90s this was the first video I ever saw and it always cracked me up watching it.
