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!

Damn IPad. I starting typing and somehow it returned. What I was going to say is "Garcia is shooting arrows in this Rider. Not as developed as the 73 and 74 versions but these Europe 72 ones are near and dear to me. This is a great version.

Listen to the Lee version. I commented on Searchin and New Orleans from this show. This very well hold a new place in my top 5 favorite shows.
