Grateful Dead

On December 31, 1987, the Grateful Dead performed at Madison Square Garden, ringing in the New Year with a vibrant set that included collaborations with the Neville Brothers. This concert came shortly after the release of their studio album "In the Dark," which debuted in 1987 and marked a significant moment in the band’s history, as it was their first studio album in over a decade to gain commercial success. "In the Dark" featured the hit single "Touch of Grey," which became a defining track for the band and helped introduce them to a broader audience. The collaboration showcased in this New Year’s Eve performance reflects the band’s commitment to live improvisation and their interconnectedness with other artists, further emphasizing their reputation as one of the most prominent live acts in rock history.
