I was there. At Laguna Seca in California, it was Saturday night in 1987, it was cold and foggy. At about 1:30 am we heard tuning from the stage, about 600 of us got up and over to the bowl and were treated to about two and a half hours of Touch of Grey repeated over and over, different parts, different band members on stage rotating for their video parts, the giant puppets, etc. I particularly remember them turning the lights on all of us for the crowd shots, I was high as heck on mushrooms and had a super hot chick on my shoulders. God how I miss Grateful Dead camping shows. THANK YOU FURTHUR for Mt. Aire 2010, let's do it again!
