[@marshallschaffer3721]

"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.

[@enriquevargas1668]

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.

[@Meyzen76]

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!!!

I think I was born on the bus in the rabbit hole. A child meant to be in another generation, I was born in 91 so never got to see the Dead live (unfortunately Jerry died the day after my 4th birthday), but I’ve watched damn near every show on KZbin wishing and feeling like I was there!

[@davewise97]

True story brother. 30+ years in that hole for me. Got to see them just before Jerry passed. Sadly never got to see Chris Cornell...

[@jessegifford7913]

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

[@terenceokane]

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!

[@natashanka]

This is the least favorite song for all the true Grateful Dead fans.

[@scoonman]

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.

[@jlmain5777]

Jamel, you’re on your way to becoming a deadhead. Some of the more accessible songs to begin are “Casey Jones,” “ Friend of the Devil,” “Truckin,” “Box of Rain,” and “Ripple.”

[@thomashamilton914]

marksherrick I gotta say Brent was prolly my favorite keyboardist. I loved the energy between him and Garcia especially in a lot of the live performances from 89 (prolly my favorite year for them). Brents vocals were also nice on songs like “blow away” and “we can run”

[@julieharden2433]

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...

[@chordiepa.9268]

"Following the Dead remains some of the best memories/non-memories of my life." Quoted for truth. I toured up and down the East Coast from '83 through '91. The Dead, quite literally, changed me as a person. For the better I might add. There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert.

[@lancew.6568]

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!

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.

[@secondsettweezer9884]

Maybe both?

[@joehynes5452]

Both

[@stewartshirey]

Both, yep, always loved the silhouettes and shadows

[@kevinbreaux3039]

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

[@terryroper5860]

Jerry has passed on. But they did so many shows, there are so many videos, I only made it to one live Dead show, and I was forever grateful.

[@jadentinkcom2964]

Yeeeeeeeah, stoked you made a live version!!! Thanks for what you do man

[@SlayerBeastMan]

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

[@BigIslandHina]

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

[@tjason12]

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

[@karenimages896]

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.

[@ZertusDarkSun]

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.

[@marshazeldin2350]

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

[@johnmonroney8614]

Jamel The magic lies in the Live Shows. THEY HAVE A SONG FOR EVERY EMOTION and a lyric that fits every notion that keeps you in foward motion. WE'RE JERRYS KIDS. THE GRATEFUL DEAD has the power ro change the WORLD. Touch Heads lol This song brought a slough of Jimmy Buffet fans to the sjows wearing the hawaiian shirts. Jerry Garcia is one of best guitar players ever lived. Theres Dead & Co shows coming Jamel. GO MAN GO TO A SHOW. NOT PHISH DEAD & CO. ITS NOT the same as it used to be in 80s and 90s but they didnt fold and even though the obvious choice for the Jerry Slot was overlooked or glhe declined we all know who sounds just like Jerry. Oh well Trey from Phish hes def. Family but hes Obi Wan to the Wooks. I dont get it. I dont think anybody. DEAD FAM IS LIFE. PHISH FANS THEY DONT HAVE THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO FOLLOW THE TOUR..WEEKEND PRETEND TIME IM SURE SOME WEALTHY DADS PAID FOR PRE COLLEGE PHISH TOUR AS A RITE OF PASSAGE INTO BLOWN VW HEADS AND WARM ZIMA'S. WHERE YA LIVE JAMEL ILL TAKE YA TO A SHOW MAN.

[@ravenmead2864]

The lead singer and keyboard player passed away. The skeletons are just a joke for the video

[@NeutronDance]

Several "keyboard" players, in fact

[@yodak2]

Aaron Rumack every keyboard player... in fact

[@ravenmead2864]

I was only speaking about Brent because he was in the video, no disrespect to our other fallen brothers

[@christopherlovett7685]

Fred Scott no not yet my friend Brother Bruce is still alive

[@willietharp9092]

Jerry wasn't the lead singer. He was one of the lead singers. From 80s on they pretty much always went Jerry song- Bobby song- Jerry- Bobby

[@barbarakilman271]

My dad's favorite song loved your face when they became themselves. A deadhead never dies

[@Mickster8614]

Dude! The look on your face when you came to the realization.... Priceless.

[@tjason12]

That’s the actual Music Video from the 80’s when the song was released, not a complete live version even though there are live clips

[@arbocrd]

Such a smooth jam, groovin' and movin"! Probably should follow this up with Friend of the Devil. Still here for Zappa!

[@slidezone9056]

Like that performance of "Inca Roads" from A Token of His Extreme. A LIVE performance.

[@arbocrd]

Mattes Cog Absolutely! Pretty much any live Zappa is great honestly.

[@slidezone9056]

@@arbocrd YEP.

[@anthonysimmins5153]

The Grateful Dead has done a lot of benefits. Rainforest, Cambodian refugees, Native Americans, endless. So proud to be considered a Deadhead. Such an honorable thing. Best music besides.

[@denatokaya315]

That’s hilarious! I Love this video! You had that look on your face that I remember so, well. What did I see? 🤔 That was Priceless! Great reaction, Jamel! I had the same reaction, the first time that I saw it. They were very clever. There is more for you to enjoy. There have been a number of members who have passed on but, they were very talented and we got to enjoy their talent, together.

[@gotham61]

The lead singer here Jerry Garcia, and the keyboard player Brent Mydland are really dead. The rest of the band split up in 1995 after Jerry died. The band used to go through keyboard players kind of like the way Spinal Tap goes through drummers.

[@roberthofmann8403]

Or the Chili Peppers and guitarists.

[@gotham61]

@@roberthofmann8403 They've had a bunch of guitarists, but only one who died.

[@geoffreyyoste45]

Holy shit I just got off my last day of work at a small hospital in Kosciusko Night Shift and Touch of Grey was on the radio at a small gas station. I stopped in and Durant Mississippi. Your video popped up and I notice three years ago I put a comment I don’t know if that’s a sign but it sure is hell feels like one. “ the music never stops”

[@youllis]

I loved this video as a kid in the 80s even before I REALLY loved the Dead - love your reactions bringing it to more folks keep it up it never ends! Do your thing we like your peace 😁💖

[@krisandersen8695]

Man, your reaction when you realize there are skeletons playing is PRICELESS!!!
