Grateful Dead

On October 3, 1987, the Grateful Dead performed at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, a key venue for their extensive live tour schedule. This concert occurred shortly after the release of their album "In the Dark," which came out in 1987 and marked a significant moment in the band's career. "In the Dark" was notable for its commercial success, featuring their hit single "Touch of Grey," which helped elevate the band’s visibility in mainstream music. By the time of the Shoreline performance, the band was also enjoying a resurgence in popularity, partly due to the more polished sound of their recent studio work. The concert reflects the band’s unique blend of rock, folk, and improvisational style, characteristic of their live performances. Additionally, the meticulous audio and video production quality of the recording showcases the band's commitment to their live sound, a hallmark of their legacy.
