As we hit the late 80s the Dead come out with their most popular album and reached the public ears really for the first time, ‘In the Dark.” Maybe not their most popular album with their fans but one that reached double platinum and even had a music video on MTV. I have no shame and can tell you right now I love this album and even “Touch of Grey” which is a blasphemy for Dead fans.
There is a lot I like about this album and it happens right off the bat. “Touch of Grey” is one of my favorite Dead songs, one of the first songs I heard on the radio. Yeah so what it is more poppy and was in the mainstream on MTV with a music video. It is a fun song that speaks a lot to me as a teenager. It made me very happy to hear this as the encore when I saw Dead & Co. in DC recently. Follow up this song with “Hell in a Bucket”, another fun and upbeat song that I really love. “When Push Comes to Shove” & “West LA Fadeaway” are both excellent tracks on the end of this side.
