The lights at the top of New York City's iconic Empire State Building sometimes change color to recognize special occasions. And last night, they were synchronized to Dead & Company's live encore performance of "Touch Of Grey." The quasi-Grateful Dead reunion were playing a concert nearby at Queens' Citi Field, and lighting designer Marc Brickman, who has toured with Pink Floyd and Paul McCartney, controlled the LED tower lights from across the East River.
