The record

Title: Grateful Dead – In The Dark
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1987, Rock, Jam Rock, San Francisco, California
Matrix #: Arista AL-8452
Condition: NM

Cultural Facts:

  1. Media Narrative: “Touch of Grey” became their late-career pop breakthrough—MTV rotation turned a touring institution into a mainstream moment.

  2. Studio Lore: Built from tight live-style run-throughs—tracked around their Bay Area home base with the band steering production to keep it “band-in-a-room,” not glossy.

  3. Personal Struggle: Jerry Garcia was coming off a 1986 diabetic coma; the comeback narrative was real, but his health stayed fragile long after the spotlight returned.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
