Subject: One little kiss and Felina goodbye Wow, a great show.



I feel like they play the single tunes until they peak around El Paso, JED ---

then they pull out all the stops and

jazz fusion jam their butts off.

They had to be feeling pretty comfortable

taking that much time to explore the Dark Star.

Credit to PigPen a force to be reckoned with all night

Always dig Truckin towards the end of the show!

Smooth bass intro into Uncle John's

Love those harmonies..

Sure Donna singing along off Microphone

Blazin OMSN.

This show is comparable to Jahrhunderthalle - July 23, 2018One little kiss and Felina goodbye

Subject: So many super-long shows on E72

One of the 3 E72 long ones - 4 hours w/out breaks. Played in another magnificent Euro concert hall, with a weird, bowed shape. De Doelen [The Goals] has a 2200-seater theater, de Grote Zaal [Grand Hall] , which was then new. They had just played Amsterdam, so they moved just a few dozen miles this night! The 1st Set doesn't have the electricity or punch of most of E72 and it's not the best of E72 for highest highlights - but it's E72, so they still played great. They took just one break this show.



First Set. Playing in the Band is tight and Billy is great but there is also Donnaskreech™. Mr. Charlie is excellent but much of the rest is by-the-numbers. Deal is laid into a downtempo shuffle. Chinatown is just average. Jer starts picking it up on Mexicali and Keith starts jazzing, setting up for a stellar China Cat>Rider. Another peak is the Beat it on Down the Line-14. Jack Straw is an intricate but subtle version. Good Lovin' is average Pig though the return@10:00 is eerily psychic. Casey Jones is a perfect version of the mostly rote song.



Second Set. Morning Dew ain't bad, it's just out of tune, but Me & My Uncle is all wound up and short with Jer buzzing a burly tone and Keith all tightened. The rest is average to above-average. Jer's tones are the interesting thing here, like on El Paso & Tennessee. Dark Star takes jazzy turns - listen for the hint of Bach's Bourree. At 48min it's a candidate for longest-ever Dark Star - it's 23min before the 1st lyric. I'm partially perplexed: there are a couple good passages buried in there, but shouldn't there be when you have almost an hour to hit on something? Are you really going to wade through this more than once? Must hear it once I suppose. Jer teases Truckin' and even checks his tuning (!) before Bobby finally veers into Sugar Mag. Pig briefly raps Diddley's Who Do You Love? at the end of Caution (they had just played with him). This is the last (full) Caution and is perhaps the best of the 5 of the tour - but these aren't the '68 or '69 Cautions. Note that when Truckin' does launch it's Bobby that plays the riff by himself. Pig stays out on organ. Maybe it's Pigs presence that prevents the '72 Bobby yelps. UJB is prefunctory but One More Saturday Night is a great capper - though (oops!) left off the official release.



1st Set : B-

2nd Set : C+

Overall = 3¼ stars



Highlights:

Mr. Charlie - excellent

China Cat Sunflower - not only one of the tour's best but one of 72's best

Beat it on Down the Line - excellent Jer fretwork

Jack Straw - intricate but subtle

Casey Jones - no surprises but perfect

Me & My Uncle - wound up

Subject: -- If I had to name the best show of Europe '72 off the top of my head, I'd go with this one. It's exhausting, overwhelming, pick your favorite adjective. Jack Straw, by now, had developed into a very real and substantial tune and that 30-minute jam out of drums is one of the all-time greats. There are too many highlights here for words. - July 23, 2013--

Subject: Longest Dark Star? The longest, uninterrupted Dark Star is from 12/6/73.

This one, if you include the drum solo, is the second longest and 8/28/69(not really the GD but Mickey and the Hartbeats) is the longest if you include the Eleven Jam. 5/11/72 is certainly tops in many lists and rightfully so! - March 11, 2010Longest Dark Star?

The Dark Star>SugarMag>Caution~Who Do You Love is legendary. That, in itself, is worthy of a download but don't stop yourself there. There is nothing to overlook here...it's all good. Whatever you do, DO NOT pass over the Morning Dew. I think it quite possibly could be the greatest Dew ever recorded.

Why are there so many five star reviews?

Because this show is GREAT!

Subject: Dark Star The single most amazing jam EVER, is in the Dark Star before the drum solo, just pure swing as the band developes slowly the theme, Phil and Jerry leading the way. These moments in Dark Star are little songs themselves (some become songs even), a Great Jam from nothing into nothing, moments you were glad the tape machine was still filled with tape. - April 26, 2005Dark Star

Subject: Another 5 Star review for this bad mother! Man, I love the Dead and I'll give a 4 star review to just about anything recorded decent because in the 600+ shows I have there is not a single one that the performance just plain sucks.That said I reserve the 5 star review for only the most euphoria induceing performances.This is one of them.

1972,epic length,great recording quality,40 something min. Dark Star,Jack Straw,tons of cohesive jams,you name it ,it has it.

This is my all time favorit show from my favorite year.All performances are top notch especially the longest Dark Star jam of all time.During this part of the show Jerry,Phil, and Bill become one simbiotic unit playing for a common purpose.Pushing and pulling the elastic tempo of the jam with the precision of a pre-scored studio performance.This is one of way too many highlights to mention.

Also, unless your only going to listen to this show through your computer speakers, download this version over the other one available.This one has not been man handled as much and will take to high end equipment and eq'ing much better.With a pro mastering job this one would be ready for release.

Download and enjoy for life! - April 10, 2005Another 5 Star review for this bad mother!

Subject: Dark Star!!!! probably the longest '72 version, this one stands alone, standard '72 gig, good sound and setlist, but once you hear Jerry's feeding back his guitar in the middle of the monster Dark Star, you forget about the rest, spacey, misterious, a lot of fine interplay, love it, if you are into Dark Star, this one is a must!! - November 16, 2004Dark Star!!!!
