The great comeback album, or at least an album that no deadhead expected at this stage in their career. Garcia had been seriously ill for some time, and was not expected to recover. Suddenly, a new studio album was announced, as a seemingly fit Garcia started to tour and was reputedly appalled when they had a huge hit single with the autobiographical "Touch Of Grey." Other strong tracks are Weir's "Hell In A Bucket" and the magnificent "Black Muddy River" written by Garcia and Hunter.
