Subject: Truckin' This is so very nice. Just take Truckin as an example. Not using the tune as a vehicle to get somewhere else. (Although that is a big part of what the Band did)Just giving us an all out rendition of the tune from start to finish. No lyric flubs or delayed holding pattern while Weir lines up his verses. ( This is one of my favorite versions here)

It seems like every tune the Dead brought to Europe just shines brightly over the course of the 72 tour. The vocal harmonies also really get me. I love hearing Jerry and Phil as Bobby sings. - April 15, 2015Truckin'

Subject: Absolute Perfection...note different recording levels Not much more needs to be said. I wish Donna would hav refrained from squealing on both ends of Playin' instead of just the front side, but it doesn't ruin the song. Same thing with Goin' Down the Road, it's just a bit overpowering towards the end of the song. Otherwise, can't really ask for a much better performance from this period. If like me you are going to try to grab these before the official Europe 72 tour is released, be advised that some songs are at a lower recording level than others and will affect your playback volume. They are: BIODTL, Playin, El Paso, Ramble On Rose, Chinatown Shuffle and You Win Again (as I recall). Had to make a couple of extra passes to (hopefully) get 'em all at the right volume. - May 19, 2011Absolute Perfection...note different recording levels

Subject: The Gold Standard Performance This gold standard show is not only a contender for best performance of the tour, it's likely among the best shows ever performed by the band. Both intense and energetic, the show is brilliant from start to finish. Virtually every song is a standout.



Although less than 12 minutes in length, Playin' in the Band is a frenzied psychedelic effort. Looks Like Rain is a remarkable rendition with Jerry on the pedal steel. Naturally the highlight of this performance is the Dark Star, with a gorgeous Feelin' Groovy Jam. The pre-verse jamming is intensely beautiful. Things start to move a bit faster after the verse, with a rather jazzy segment before Jerry again taps the 57th street bridge theme and slows it down as it rumbles into space, finally breaking down before an abrupt transition into Sugar Magnolia. Of course the Good Lovin'/Caution sandwich is also a treasure, it's well jammed and the rap by Pig might be his finest moment on the tour. (100 pts) - April 14, 2010The Gold Standard Performance

Subject: Wow What a remaster. Fantastic sound on a fantastic show. Sounds like a "I Know You Rider" jam around the 23 minute mark of Dark Star. Just a great show all around. The 4-7-72 show is partially streamable from the Taper's Section of Dead.net . Not sure how to "capture" those streams, but they sound great. Obviously a soundboard around somewhere. - April 17, 2009Wow

Subject: Thanks Wayne! My new buddy Wayne turned me on to this show and all I can say is WOW!

I read that the acid The Dead took overseas was made 10 times too strong and thus, They played like their hair was on fire for the whole tour. Great stuff here! - November 6, 2008Thanks Wayne!

Subject: All Kinds of Good Stuff All Kinds of really really good stuf in here. Especially the keyboards. This pretty much epitomizes the sound and the lonnnnng concerts we remeber so well.



Of special note for me on this was Jerry coming out of Dark Star into Sugar Mag like a phantom train screaming down a mountainside, full moon shining, and the engineer has decided --- this is the time he's making the turn without using the breaks.

balls to wall everybody hang on. - September 11, 2008All Kinds of Good Stuff

Subject: Is my GD collection getting too big? A typical GD show from the 1970s that absolutely smokes from end-to-end. Sound is good, mixing sounds great. Wish I had been there. Just another example of why this band is so popular years later. - July 21, 2008Is my GD collection getting too big?
