Europe '72 - Review
Europe
’72 is the first Grateful Dead CD (album) that I bought and I
still love it.
This tour began on April 7 and ended on May 26 with 22
performances.
It includes many of their classic original songs that never
were released on any of their studio CD's that include: “Tennessee
Jed,” “Jack Straw,” “Brown Eyed Women,” “Ramble on
Rose,” and “He’s Gone.” These songs have remained in the
Grateful Dead’s concert rotation till their final days in 1995.
Europe
’72
is the first recording to feature keyboard player Keith Godchaux.
Pig Pen is still in the band at this time and he contributes with
two blues covers “Mr. Charlie” and “Hurts Me Too.” Jerry
Garcia’s challenges Pig Pen by singing lead on a blues number,
Elmore James’ “It Hurts Me Too.” On it Keith really hits some
great riffs that shows his versatility. Keith also makes his
presence known on
“Cumberland Blues.”
The
meat of this release is the “Truckin'” > “Epilogue” >
“Prelude” > “Morning Dew.” After the "Truckin’" the band
catches fire on a melody and they get into a nice groove that
features hints of
“The Other One,” without ever going there. The jam
eventually settles into one of the better versions of “Morning
Dew” of 1972.
There
is a lot of competition among the 1972 Grateful Dead releases and Europe
’72 deserves heavy consideration.
