Grateful Dead

On June 15, 1985, the Grateful Dead performed at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, California, a venue closely associated with the band’s history. This concert was part of their prolific touring schedule during the mid-1980s, a time when they had recently released the studio album "In the Dark" in 1987, which included hits like "Touch of Grey." The live recording captures the band’s signature style, blending rock, blues, and improvisational jams, showcasing their adeptness at engaging with their audience. Interestingly, the 1985 concert falls within a period of revitalization for the Grateful Dead, as they were enjoying a surge in popularity and commercial success following the release of their first top 40 hit. Notably, the setlists from this era often featured a mix of classic material and newer songs, reflecting both their long-standing legacy and evolving sound.
