Grateful Dead - Europe ‘72: The Complete Recordings

1972-04-21 (Fri)

Not a live concert but rather a performance in a TV studio in Bremen, the Beat Club show featured a condensed version of a typical Europe ‘72 concert, with shorter songs like Bertha and Sugaree, mid-length jammers like “Playing In The Band†(two versions!) and a “Truckin’>Drums>Other One.â€

Grateful Dead - Europe ‘72: The Complete Recordings

1972-04-24 (Mon)

Rheinhalle - Dusseldorf, Germany

After two consecutive shows that were played in front of TV cameras (4/17 Copenhagen and 4/21 Bremen) the Grateful Dead returned to playing for just-the-fans (and the multi-track recorder, thankfully!) with this terrific show in Dusseldorf, a show so good it is the only show that was released in its entirety prior to 2011.

1972-04-26 (Wed)

Jahrhunderthalle - Frankfurt, Germany

The German odyssey continues with this mighty fine concert at Hundred Year Hall (or more appropriately Centennial Hall) in Frankfurt, the first vault release after the Grateful Dead stopped touring, and one of the finest, most powerful shows on the tour. On a tour filled with great Other Ones, this is one of the best.

The German leg of the tour wraps up (well, they did return three weeks later for a show in Munich) with this under-the-radar show in Hamburg, where the band played one of its second sets that were centered around “Dark Star†and “Caution.â€

Olympia Theatre - Paris, France

The first show in Paris is the Olympia is one to behold! Start-to-finish, prepare for your socks to be knocked off. Highlights are many, but we suggest an extra close listen to “Greatest Story,†“Good Lovin’,†and the entire second set jam centered around “The Other One.â€

Olympia Theatre - Paris, France

The Paris stay continues with another fine show in the City of Lights. This night, “Dark Star†takes the cake (as it did so many nights on this tour) as the highlight of the show, with honorary mention to another “Good Lovin’,†remarkably different than the previous nights.

Bickershaw Festival - Wigan, Lancashire, England

The band’s first outdoor gig of the tour at the Bickershaw Festival in Wigan, where they played one of the longest shows of the tour. This was the only show on the tour that featured both a “Dark Star†and an “Other One,†and just about everything else you could hope they’d play.

Rotterdam brought out the best of the band, from the opening “Playing In The Band†(you know they’re into it when they open with a jam like this) to the end, with a “Dark Star†that sees the band hitting some unique and inspired grooves unlike any others.

Is that the Tivoli show that was broadcast on TV? There is really good footage from that out there (the one where the boys whear the clown/bozo masks on stage) ;)

I don't think so, I think I have that footage on a boot DVD and I don't believe it is the same footage. Then again, it has been a while since I have watched that disc.

Peripheral question : On the Anthem To Beauty documentary, there is video footage of the Dead playing Truckin', you can see Pigpen in the footage but I distinctly hear piano in the mix, which would put it around this time. Anyone know specifically where this footage came from?

Grateful Dead - Europe ‘72: The Complete Recordings

1972-05-23 (Tue)

Strand Lyceum, London, UK

The band began its final run of shows on the tour in London with a bang, sharing stage with opening act and good friends the New Riders of the Purple Sage. Just like the previous show in Munich, this show’s big second set highlight was a “Dark Star>Morning Dew.†This, of course, is the less-famous London Dew, after the magnificent version played on 5/26 and included on the Europe ‘72 album. The show also featured the first version by the Grateful Dead of “Rockin’ Pneumonia†and the “Boogie Woogie Flu.â€

In typical Europe ‘72 fashion, if it was “Dark Star†one night, it was “The Other One†the next (usually…see previous show). And this “Other One†is up with the best of the tour. The second of the tour’s two “Rockin’ Pneumonias†was played this night, as well as the last-ever Pigpen-sung version of “Lovelight.â€

The second set jam this night is unique both in terms of the tour and the greater Grateful Dead history, featuring three three Garcia-sung songs in a row: “Uncle John’s Band>Wharf Rat>Dark Star.†All three are top notch, and “Wharf Rat†was quite a rarity on this tour, so this is a nice treat.

Grateful Dead - Europe ‘72: The Complete Recordings

1972-05-26 (Fri)

Strand Lyceum, London, UK

The last night. As much the band could be forgiven for being exhausted and ready to go home, they brought their A-game and played what many consider to be one of the top two or three shows on the tour. A 19 song first set (!) ends with the usual second set closer “Not Fade Away>GDTRFB>Not Fade Away,†and the set also included a 17 minute “Playing In The Band,†the show at which “Playing†became the 17-25 minute jam vehicle it would be for the rest of 1972 through 1974. The second, set, though, is so good that it was immortalized on Side 5 and Side 6 of the Europe ‘72 album. What that album is missing from this jam, though, is a terrific “Other One†around the “Morning Dew,†and the finest (and totally appropriate) “Sing Me Back Home†of the tour.

Assuming I like the Dead, but not enough that I want to download all of these shows. What are considered the better shows of this run?

Edit: My preference is less country twang and more jammy jam.
