    Another Tour de force, this time with an exceptional performance of Dark Star. While the first set is not quite as spectacular as that of the night before, Playin' in the Band is gorgeous and Mr. Charlie could be a best-ever performance of the song. The second set however, is another magical moment among many on this tour. Pig's 23+ minute Good Lovin' set opener is a fantastic performance.

    In no particular order: 2-13-70, 2-26-73, 10-14-68, 5-23-72, 2-15-73, 2-27-69 [insert other faves here] ... and this one. As an initial matter, labelling this as "DS->Drums->DS" would ordinarily be extremely lame except that this drum solo is one of Billy's best. It's brilliance, however, is difficult to appreciate outside of its proper context which is the entire 40 minute long beautifully shiny beast. That is because Billy is hot from beginning to end.

    Europe 72 was how many of us (in the 1980's) 1st got turned on to the DEAD playing live on an LP. This would set the bar for shows we would see in the 1980's. It was an impossible bar. Sort of like the line in Crazy Fingers "Never could reach it, just slipped away" The music on this tour is as close to perfect as music gets to perfect in an imperfect world.
