Volume 18 of the Europe 72 box set. I really dig the vocals on Sugaree. Sweet Chinatown Shuffle. Top of the World starts second set. Killer solo on Uncle. Nice Ramble on Rose. This is a long show! Really Killer 30 minute Dark Star that gets REALLY FAR OUT! Breathtaking 12 minute Morning Dew. Really funky solo on Saturday Night. In fact, it is the funkiest and possibly the best solo I have heard on Saturday night. Very funky yet very tight.

I Was 19 living in Munich waiting for the new academic year. having been accepted to the U of Tel Aviv. After Graduating from Munich American High the previous year, (An army school where the crowd split into three categories; Boozers, Geeks and Freaks.Yours truly squeezing into the latter)I was eager to retain my Draft Board 100 classification (American Living Overseas, draft only if WWIII breaks out and/or Canada attacks) until the madness in Nam or the Draft itself peters out.

A couple of tidbits....in response to Syrofoam Cueball below...Sing Me Back Home is not an unreleased Dead song....it was written by Merle Haggard and released by same on a country album in the early '60's. The mechanical defects in this recording are interesting. As noted below...Ramble On Rose cuts out halfway through....There's an abrubtness to Sitting On Top of the World that makes me wonder if the sound people were scrambling to catch up to the band...These problems and others have kept…

This is a find the sound is great, this show helps me to better understand the hype/truth of the magic of Europe 72. I never held any beefs against the tour, I regarded it as a crossroad for the band, the beginnings of some great exploration, primarely inside Playin' and Truckin"s> other one's, and a chance to polish the fall 71 offerings. I can see here now that there is a richer experience taking place, All instruments and players are running and co-exisiting quiet nicely.
