"For what would become one of the most spectacular and highly admired live rock albums in
music history, The Grateful Dead gave their European fans the live concert experience the
were expecting when The Grateful Dead toured Europe in 1972 which is highly documented
with it's sweeping scope and high energetic force on this historic live album. Released later
that year and already remastered in complete form, Europe '72 presents a fresh document
on The Dead's first extended European Tour which have not only impressed the critics and
fascinated the rock circuit, but it also features a unique set of previous material from 1967
to 1971 along with new material. Sporadically recorded live to SRO crowds in England, Paris,
(West) Germany, Amsterdam and Denmark, the live extravaganza feature new tracks, such
as Ramblin' On Rose, Jack Straw, Looks Like Rain, Tennessee Jed and He's Gone, alongside
old tracks, like Caution (Do Not Stop On The Tracks), Morning Dew, Sugar Magnolia and Big
Railroad Blues, to whom the band plays, which makes up half the performance. What is so
ironic about it is that it feature an array of challenging performances including Epilogue (an
instrumental improvisation), You Win Again, I Know You Rider--their take on Easy Rider that
extends Jerry Garcia's solo into a virtuoso guitar performances; their 13-minute live take on
Truckin', The Dead's signature hit; Epilogue and two superb live jam versions of The Young
Rascal's Good Lovin' (one is 20 minutes long). Europe '72 even introduced the husband and
wife team of Keith Godchaux (keyboards) and Donna Jean Godchaux (vocals) in the band,
but sadly, the live event would mark the last performance from Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, who
was in fragile health, where he gave his last hurrah on few tracks like Mr. Charlie, his ode to
the Chicago Blues Circuit, and Brown-Eyed Woman. And finally, Finally, Europe '72 gives us
the grand finale conclusion with their wonderful spoken word track The Yellow Dog Story, in
which Jerry Garcia, with guitar in hand providing the storylines, delivers a lovely and poetic
track that we consider an instant classic in the spoken word repertoire. Heralded with sonic
textures, harmonic solos, improvisational skill, grand spectacle production, world class band
camaraderie, celebrity and great performing, Europe '72 is a great landmark testament from
The Dead's rich legacy"

"There’s something subtly holy about the Grateful Dead’s music. The way Free Masons used to imbue their buildings with secrets of the universe, The Dead crafted their music with the truth of the universe’s goodness and humor. They could be singing about a redneck stubbing his toe and make it feel spiritual and connected to the universal entire. That’s the magic of the Grateful Dead, their ability to make the ordinary feel profound and the profound feel ordinary."
