It was c/w Bertha (from Skull Fuck) and the sleeve had a cut-out coffin (Machen sie sich ihren sarg!). ![]() "Billy I told you once - I won't answer unless you call me Bobby Ace"!) to get airplay and hopefully dent the charts. In the USA it was on Bobby's solo LP, but for the Europe tour they rushed an edited single as "The Grateful Dead featuringěobby Ace" (the Rock name he tried using on the tour. "This is our new single" Bobby proclaims before a hyperspeed Saturday Night. El Paso is sans solo and Billy suddenly speeds up on NFA (it sounds like a tape error but it's on the AUDs). This is the second one and doesn't have the bridge yet (still two shows away from writing the rest of the song) and the set doesn't have the life of the other two except for GDtRFB and the encore. A Stars and Stripes Forever opens He's Gone and though I haven't researched it, seems there are more tuning songs on E72 than any equal tour. Bobby's abrupt MaMU segue is cool but as soon as "by the side of the road" Jer goes straight back to where he left off! Wharf was the rarest song this night and the tempo has pulled the emergency brake by Sugar Mag. Though length ≠ automatic stature, it's worth hearing, though not a tour top 5. Dark Star is one of the five longest-ever though it does have a sandwiched Me & My Uncle (Paris doesn't 40min and Rotterdam is 48min). Keith makes Casey more than the usual run-through. The middle is sort of like a Dark Star>Caution with a Pig rap. Good Lovin' gets the first monster jam (and not Playin') and has hints of '76. Playin' has a slower tempo than most of the tour (it was one of the two songs played every night) & Next Time is one of Top 3 of the tour. Beat it on Down the Line-5 is also a tour best contender and Bobby's fills are incredible on Loser-SS. Brent plays a Yellow Rose of Texas into one of the tour's A+ China>Riders. The rest of the set is consistently stellar. ![]() By Tennessee Jed they're already playing so consistent it's insane. ![]() Blair says Keith pwns the show - true after the first set.įirst Set.

It's still a good show of course and though maybe not an E72 top 10 overall, it has a Top 5 first set. ![]() Despite his failing health, Pigpen electrified European audiences with his charismatic performances of ∼hinatown Shuffle, Good Lovin and (his latest song) The Stranger (Two Souls In Communion). The tour, and the show, represents a bittersweet capstone to his too-short career.This was once the go-to Euro72 show because it was the first to be released in its entirety and had the novelty of a 44min Dark Star (with a MaMu sandwich), but has lost some of its sheen now that the whole tour has been released and there's been time to digest other shows that were either not favored by tapes-and-postage tradition or overlooked. Notably, it was also the groups penultimate performance with founding member, Ron Pigpen McKernan, who died in March the following year. This 4-CD set of LYCEUM THEATRE: from Rhino spotlights the epic last show of the Deads European tour. A triumph critically and commercially when it was released in November 1972, today the double-platinum album is an integral part of the Deads live legacy and beloved by generations of fans. The Grateful Deads first tour outside of North America was immortalized on Europe ∧2, a triple live album that distilled peak moments from the 22 shows the band played in six countries for thousands of Europeans.
