box set Vol. 8. Starting off show with a blistering Trucking. Kickass Chinatown Shuffle. I almost forgot how dope this song was. Mr. Charlie will make ya shake dat a**. This is massive show. They play 25 total tracks. Lovely bluesy Next Time You See Me with killer Pigpen harmonica and vocals. Killer solo on Bobby McGee. 17 and a half minute Good Lovin which is very nice. They end of slowing it down and doing some really cool s*** at the end of it. Dark Star gets real far out there.

This is what is says on the iTunes page for this CD: Although the Grateful Dead's 1972 European excursion has been the subject of several multi-volume packages, Rockin' the Rhein With the Grateful Dead (2004) is the first inclusive and unedited concert taken from their initial full-fledged tour outside North America.

I discovered the Rheinhalle 4/24/1972 show in the winter of 2008. I listened to it for about 2 months straight. It's pretty damn good overall. The Dark Star>Me and My Uncle>Dark Star>Sugar Magnolia is an astonishing highlight. I never heard anything about this show before and didn't know it had so many amazing performances. It contains my new all-time favorite Dark Star as well as a transcendent Black-Throated Wind. Bobby is in excellent voice and Pigpen is too.
- ★★★★★ · Buy Rockin' the Rhein! · phleshy · 2004
The officially released Rockin' the Rhein is without question worth picking up. Not only is the quality far better than any previous version of the show, but the performance is fantastic; it's one of the Top 3 Europe '72 shows without question. Not to spoil the surprise, the Dark Star>Me & My Uncle>Dark Star>Wharf Rat>Sugar Mag is priceless. The awesome Star especially is very trippy and spacey, topped only by the 47-minute 5/11/72 Star. So damn it, get Rockin' the Rhien and sit back. P.S.
