"There is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert"--album liner notes.
Most Deadheads I know prefer Live Dead shows over Studio Dead recordings. Europe '72 (1972) is a collection of classic Live Dead performances recorded during the band's tour of Western Europe in early 1972. (If you could only own one live Dead album, this is The One to own. It is not only the Dead's best-selling live album, it is one of their best-selling albums to date.) It is a landmark fusion of rock, folk, blues, bluegrass, country, and improvisational jam. Although it is considered a live album, many of the songs were subjected to later vocal overdubbing. This album represents Ron "Pigpen" McKernan's last tour with the Dead before he died from a stomach hemorrhage in 1973, and this was the last album featuring him as an active member of the band. It was also the first album to feature Keith Godchaux and his wife Donna Jean Godchaux. The album includes the impossible-to-escape-in-the-70's radio single, "Truckin'" (the song that first introduced me to the Dead). The album features Garcia on vocals and guitar, Weir on vocals and guitar, Lesh on bass and vocals, Ron "Pigpen" McKernan on harmonica and vocals, Keith Godchaux on piano, Donna Godchaux on vocals, and Kreutzmann on percussion. I first experienced this album on vinyl. The remastered CD is worth the upgrade from vinyl, featuring the following setlist:

Europe 72 Poster
This sprawling three-records-on-two-CDs set offers a healthy cross-section of material and finds the band honing even further its blend of musical languages. There are country-inflected boogies, blues rave-ups, passionate ballads, and, of course, the extended, adventurous jams that made them famous. Many of the Dead's best-loved tunes made their initial vinyl appearances here, including "He's Gone," "Jack Straw," "Brown-Eyed Women," "Ramble on Rose," and "Tennessee Jed"--most of which reveal a heavy country influence, especially in Robert Hunter's lyrics. In addition to introducing these new songs, Europe '72 also showcases brilliantly fine-tuned versions of "Truckin'" (complete with a lengthy "Epilogue") and "China Cat Sunflower/I Know You Rider," which became the first of the band's many magical song combinations. --Marc GreilsamerExpanded & remastered in HDCD, this reissue of 1972 live album includes seven bonus tracks, 'The Stranger (Two Souls In Communion)', 'Looks Like Rain', 'Good Lovin', 'Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)', 'Who Do You Love?', 'Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)' & 'Good Lovin'. Featuring some of Jerry Garcia's last-ever pedal steel guitar playing with the Grateful Dead. Includes expanded booklet as well with rare photos & all-new liner notes, packaged in double gatefold Digipak. Warner/Rhino. 2003.
