Video of the week 2014
This is a sub-page of "Touch of Grey" and has very little, if anything, to do with visitor safety, but a lot to do with fine music, although that of course is in the ear of the beholder. It started with a few links to Grateful Dead-related videos and similar material, before moving on to other bands and musicians of personal preference in excellent performance, before occasionally returning to Dead-connected music. We're on a musical road every week or two.
Last video of 2014, 26th December - another treat - a Joan Osborne show comprising entirely Grateful Dead covers!
