Such fun. Has a swagger and strut like the best, but a bit more fun and light. Thanks to C. Miller we can hear it now. Cheers, sir!

Bobby and Phil help out the unconscious, the bug-eyed, and the two-dimensional.

So sweet and sad, with a giant of a solo and crisp harmonising.

Pigpen’s vox is just amazing here (as always). Great show.

Sweet country Dead. Great mix if you want to feel Phil's thunder.

Tivolis Koncertsal

An absolute beauty, note-for-note perfect and deserving all its praise. This is the FM airplay quality of the Dead's live work that turned on all Europe. Tivolis is arguably my favourite all-round concert from the '72 Europe tour.

Best banter of the year? Jerry tells people to stop throwing joints on the stage and 'light 'em up and pass them around' instead. Bobby claims they were going to wear gorilla suits but they lost the key to the wardrobe.... Seems like everyone was having a good old time.

Insane rager. The sound quality is muffled, so this beast should be best heard on headphones. This one might be even more fun than the brilliant one just before this 04/27. They keep taking it higher and higher, stepping up intensity until the crowd sounds like they're in an ecstasy. Spring '77... it really is just that good.

Agreed that this would really benefit from a SBD or matrix. I'm no AUD-phobe and love the warm sense of being there you can get only from the tapers, but hearing that crowd roar at the vocal peaks, hearing the harmonies Donna sneaks in behind Jerry, getting a better mix together for Bobby, or a less compressed sound and this one goes to the very top.

Upvoting Freedomhaul's perfect comment. This is Barlow and Bobby's crowning achievement.
