Dead & Company: 'Touch of Grey' Live Performance from Raleigh, NC
Venue: Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek
Location: Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
Date: August 16, 2021
On August 16, 2021, Dead & Company performed "Touch of Grey" during a concert at the Coastal Credit Union Music Park in Raleigh, NC. At this point in their career, Dead & Company had recently released their latest studio album, “Dead & Company: Summer Tour 2021” prior to this performance; however, they had not put out a new studio album since “All the Light In the Sky” in 2020. This performance falls within their summer tour, which was highly anticipated as it marked one of the band's first tours post-COVID-19 pandemic disruptions. The live recording showcases their signature improvisational style and their dedication to reviving and celebrating the legacy of the Grateful Dead, of which "Touch of Grey" remains one of the most iconic songs. The concert was part of a series of performances that aimed to reconnect with fans after a significant hiatus, highlighting the band's resilience and continued relevance in the contemporary music landscape.
