Celebrating
the 50th Anniversary of the
Grateful Dead's iconic
Europe '72 Tour
with the original Europe '72 album, newly remaste red.
In another industry defying
move,the Grateful Dead followed up their first Gold Record, the 1971
liveshowcase SKULL ROSES , with another live album, one that to most
fans and critics surpassed even the excellence of the previous
offering.
From April 7 to May 26, 1972, the Dead performed and
recorded 21 live concerts, plus a set in a television studio, with
every night being an exceptional display of the magic that was
uniquely the live Grateful Dead. These concerts and this tour, 50
years later, are still considered one of the highest of high points
in the Grateful Dead's performing career. In an era whena double
album was rare enough,the Dead outdid even their own lofty standards
by producing a 3 LP masterpiece that to this day is considered one of
the finest live albums ever produced. Remastered from the original
analog tapes, the album has never sounded better.
