Discovery With Eric Senich

By the summer of 1987 The Grateful Dead had been together for over two decades. They had experienced everything a band could by that point. Well, almost. By the end of that summer they had a platinum selling, top ten album 'In The Dark' along with a top ten single "Touch of Grey". ‘In The Dark’ (released on July 6th 1987) reached number 6 on the Billboard 200 on the second week of August. It was their only top ten album and top 40 single.In this episode we’ll get into the eight tracks that make up the album, the story behind the title, the dark surroundings in which it was recorded and the secret pair of eyes on its cover.SIDE ONE:1.
