It was recorded in January 1987, and released on July 6, 1987.In the Dark was the band's first album in six years, and its first studio album since 1980's. It became unexpectedly popular, achieving in the U.S. It reached No. 6 on the chart, the Grateful Dead's only top ten album.
The peppy ' peaked at No. 9 on the, the band's only top forty single; it also became a frequently played on. 'Hell in a Bucket' and 'Throwing Stones' (for which videos were also made) also achieved significant radio airplay. Contents.Production In the Dark was recorded between January 6th and 13th, 1987 at, with production by and John Cutler.
Most of the songs had been played by the Dead since 1982 or 1983, which gave them a five-year edge on perfecting them for the album. After the critically panned, which contained songs that were mostly under a year old, the maturity of In the Dark was significantly more appreciated.Since the band had been playing the songs for some time, they decided to record the baseline tracks for the album in a darkened theater ('In the Dark') that was empty (no audience), on a stage with the same lighting as they would use on tour (just to have the band perform in a more comfortable, familiar setting). The idea was to capture the 'feel' they had for the songs as if they were playing them to a live audience. This was done at in.Drummer Bill Kreutzmann reminisced, 'We ran all the electric instruments through amplifiers in the basement, in isolation rooms, and kept the drums bright and loud on stage. Everything was fed to a recording truck parked outside the venue. Everybody played their parts in real time, together.
When we took breaks, we'd go into the wings by the stage door and sit there and talk about what we'd just done. Talking about the music, then going right out to play the music, then talking about it some more was something that we really should've done more often — the analysis served the songs and the camaraderie served the band. It really put us in a good spot.' They then brought these recorded tracks to the studio and, if needed, 'cleaned' them up, overdubbing them or redoing a guitar, vocal, keyboard, or drum track in the studio using the same riffs they used on the stage recording.Garcia spoke about the recording in an interview; 'Marin Vets turns out to be an incredibly nice room to record in. There's something about the formal atmosphere in there that makes us work. When we set up at Front Street to work, a lot of times we just sort of dissolve into hanging out. Going in Marin Vets without an audience and playing just to ourselves was in the nature of an experiment.'
In the Dark was released on CD in 1987 by before being re-released in 2000 by BMG International. It was then remastered, expanded, and released with new cover art as part of the 12-CD in October 2004. The remastered version was later released separately on CD, on April 11, 2006, by.Cover art The cover art for the album was designed by Randy Tuten. The lettering forms the shape of an eye. Inside the lettering are photos of the band members' eyes. On the original LP, the photos were right side up, but when the album was released on CD in 1987, the photos were upside down.
