Grateful Dead - Tons Of Steel

Grateful Dead, In the Dark
Hardcore Deadheads always equate this 1987 comeback record with commercial acceptance and a watered-down fan base, but while those assertions are indeed accurate, step back and you'll hear an album full of strong material and equally solid, live-in-the-studio performances. It's more than coincidence that songs such as "Touch of Grey" (the band's only top 10 hit), "Hell in a Bucket," "West L.A. Fadeaway," and "Throwing Stones" all became staples of the Dead's last decade of touring. While longtime fans will probably have no use (or desire) for this release (especially since the CD version omits the brilliant "Brother Esau"), it remains one of the band's most successful studio forays and the quintessential icebreaker for newcomers. --Marc Greilsamer

   I love this song so much. Brent's vocals just made it soar into the stratosphere. Good stuff.

   @TheElissaS ...Garcia never said such a thing. Carolyn was his wife and he never ever said a word against her. Prove it. I was in Roosevelt Stadium that day.
