Phil Lesh plays bass. There are few, if any, that can play bass as masterfully as Phil. I saw my 1st show in 1969 and was at Jerry's last show in 1995. There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert. ❤️⚡️💙

Im Mickey Hart's cousin. Mickey took me to Woodstock, to watch him perform. Conditions were filthy but the music was great! Micheal Hartman went to work for the Smithsonian was head of the percussion department.

The Grateful Dead have some really great tunes. Thanks Debbie and Harri.

This was an anthem for my friends at university. So many memories flood into my mind when I hear this. Fabulous choice.

My late hubs all time favorite band. He roadied for them in the Pacific Northwest a couple of summers when he was young, early to mid 70s. He had quite the collection of tour T-shirts, I have kept a few. ❤

I love this song, it's both depressing and hopeful just like life.

From their 1987 , "In The Dark", album, this song is known for the refrain I Will Get By/ I Will Survive on the struggles of being human and the band aging gracefully. Such wonderful lyrics and melody, and great instrumentation. Quintessential Dead. This was their only recording to reach the Top 40 and Hot 100's at the same time. It reached Number 9 on the Hot 100's and Number 1 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Debbie. 👏👏 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Smokin song&story as They always Did!!80s Dey say Ya Gotta See 2 Different Bands with intertwining Fans,Dead&Buffett!!Love This Song!&Yes Live!!

I was never a Deadhead, just a casual fan, but i liked many of their songs, including this one. I hear that their live concerts were awesome.

Perhaps the hookiest Grateful Dead tune. Love this one. The original video with the skeleton versions of the Grateful Dead was awesome too. Nice choice!

🥰🥰🥰

They played every song on 'In The Dark' in concert long before recording it. It seemed to be their best studio effort to date. Polished. 😊. The bass = is called the 'Phil Zone' because he can be a dominator.

That was the case with almost every song in their catalogue. I remember first hearing Touch, Hell In A Bucket and Brother Esau in the early 80’s. It is quite interesting that most music fans hear studio first and are curious how they will play it live whereas Deadheads are curious about how they will treat it in the studio.

From a musical side I think the Dead were essentially a group of musicians doing their own thing together. If you listen to any of the individual instrumental tracks alone, they are like individual musings but put them all together and Bam! it works.

From the "I" to the "WE" perfect

This was their second wave of radio hits and their highest charting single. Very cool to see them come back like this and they never quit. RIP to Jerry and the lost ones.

Agree, Hari. A great song, one of the Dead’s best on anyone’s scorecard. Fantastic.

It was my mild misfortune for this, their biggest hit, to be released commercially just as I happened to be getting totally into the band and prepping for my first shows ("Oh, you say they've got a new album coming out...ummmm, great!") We watched the world premiere of the video (recommended!) on MTV, and now I hear it at the supermarket ---it really is a great track Of interest: the lyric was written by Robert Hunter in England (as were, a decade and a half before, Dead/Garcia tunes "Ripple," "Brokedown Palace," "To Lay Me Down")

What a great song!

Cool shirt.

I was too young to appreciate the song when it came out. Now I understand it! Peace!

"The guy on bass" is the one, the only PHIL LESH!

The line "I will get high" is a reference to the band's favorite hobby. Skydiving.

I remember listening to this sitting in the county jail in Chattanooga back in '87. It really helped me get through the next four years in a federal prison camp for phone hacking.

Debbie M - Welcome! Grateful Dead's "Touch of Grey" was a veritable rock anthem of my generation (there are more). This was a splendid choice in my opinion. Harri, I thoroughly enjoyed your review.

Harry, I don't know if you will see this, but you should hear their song. Victim or the crime. Nothing else in their catalog sounds anything like it but it's a song about the horror of addiction and the criminalization of the addict.

As my generation comes to grips with aging. Nice to have this as an anthem.

This is the first Grateful Dead song that I heard and really liked, nowadays I would say that it has echoes of Terrapin Station which is a fantastic song. I'm probably strange because I like the Bluegrass side of the Dead seen in "Workingman's Dead" rather than the "Dark Star" sort of stuff, but this song still brings a smile to my face. What a good choice from a group which is often neglected nowadays.

You're not that strange I really love the Pigpen years and sounds.

Everyone's comments below are very positive, and they should be, but there was a slight negative aspect to "Touch Of Grey". Not the song itself, it is amazing and thoughtful, but not for "some" of the new fans it brought to the tour. We older Dead Heads called these new arrivals "Touch Heads", and they started the beginning of the end of the true tour feel and attitude. Pre-Touch, out on the road there was a lot of looking out for each other, and a lot of "here take this, it will help you" going on. Post-Touch there were a lot of folks just looking for a handout, and not wanting to contribute anything to the cause. Then came the "riots" at some shows where folks would try to break into the show, it got a little ugly, everyone wanted in, you know. Oh well, the price of success.

Hope you did Bobbies love song,Sugar Magnolia

Could you please do the video.

Sometimes I think channels do that on purpose to increase engagement. I could be wrong. The thumbnail and the title are both wrong, but don't match either. Like someone went out of their way to make people annoyed enough to click and leave comments.

Not happy IMO, more like resigned to “it is what it is”. The positive cliche is “every dark cloud has a silver lining”. The Dead are here to sober you up and let you know that that silver lining has a touch of grey. Don’t get too up; don’t get too down; and you’ll make it through.
