touch of grey?

Nope, none of us are especially into the post-70s Dead stuff (my first show was 4/6/71). Off the top of my head, there may have been a few more than these:

Turn On Your Lovelight
Friend of The Devil
Franklin's Tower
Big River
Catfish John

We went very deep on Lovelight and FT, long jams and several bass bombs that my newly reconfigured bass handled really well. I was definitely driving the bus during the jams, as Phil so often did.

Diamond's song from '82 is apparently Turn On Your Heartlight, Lovelight is a Bobby Blue Bland song from 1961. The Dead's original album version from '69 is like 15minutes long (i.e. kind of short by Dead standards) and very rarely heard on the radio, especially post-60s. IMO it was never even close to at that performance level again after their original lead singer/front man died in '72.

The thing about the Dead is that most of their studio recordings suck badly compared to their live performances. You can find nearly every show they ever played online or in official releases though.
