If there’s one consensus year that was THE year to see the Dead live, it’d be ’72—the year of their legendary "Europe ’72" album and tour. This "Dick’s Picks" volume only adds weight to that view; this is one of those great Dead sets that simultaneously boasts focused, organic ebbs and flows and unexpected improvisational twists and turns. Beautifully recorded by Bear and presented in HDCD sound, it includes "El Paso," "Sugar Magnolia," "Truckin’," "Jack Straw," "Uncle John’s Band," "Big River," "Sugaree," a sublime, exploratory "Playing in the Band," a soaring "Bird Song," a potent pairing of "China Cat Sunflower" and "I Know You Rider," an emotional hour-long ride through "He’s Gone/The Other One/Sing Me Back Home" and more. Out of print for years! Real Gone Music.
