Grateful Dead - 50 Shades Of Black & White Vol. 1 (Limited Edition 2 x Vinyl LP) New & Sealed
“I will get by. I will survive”, So the 20,000 or so Deadheads who filled
the Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey on 7th April
1987 chanted, in unison with the Grateful Dead, on the opening number
of what became known as a first rate Dead show. The fateful words came
of course from ‘Touch of Grey’, the group’s only ever Top 40 single, which
would peak at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, and which remains probably
the best known song from the band’s huge back catalogue. Touring in
support of their 1987 In the Dark album, which spawned the aforementioned
single, fans delighted in the new energy exhibited by the front man - and
indeed the rest of the group. Many in attendance reported seeing a rainbow
above the parking lot prior to the gig, and this was taken as an omen of what
was to come.
This two instalment set features the entire gig performed that early spring evening
almost 30 years ago. Taken from the FM radio broadcast of the concert made by
WNEW New York, and thus providing a superb quality recording of what many
consider to be one of the very finest 80s shows by this extraordinary collective,
this first time on vinyl release is sure to become a welcome addition to every decent
Grateful Dead collection out there.
