McGaw Memorial Hall - Northwestern University

A Dew>Playin'>UJB>Playin' jam of outrageous power, starting one of the great months in the band's history. Pity the show's not complete, though.

Video w/ TC. See it to believe it. And believe me, Carrion Crow, it's an absolute beauty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVqArOogY-c

Get lined up, put on your helmet, then prepare to be shot out of a cannon for about 30 minutes. This is what early Dead is all about.

This one's a must for fans of this song: I know I'd trade some of my tomorrows for one more yesterday with Bobby & Co. Sweet and meloncholy....

So beautiful I had to stop it mid way through and start it again. Impassioned, clear sounding, great vocals and harmonies. (Phil!) Perfect.

Seems like they really come together on this one after a few numbers that, while excellent as only Europe '72 can be, didn't all have that x-factor.

I'm inclined to agree. Note to note perfect.

Kwork, you got that right. This could be the hit radio version that never was. I think this is my favorite of what is, in spite of myself, one of those songs that pops up in my mind whenever I feel done wrong wrong wronged. This one is muscular, ballsy, macho, and stoopid, just like me. It's exactly what I feel when I want to tell her all about it, knowing it's coming back on me 10 times harder, just about 10 seconds later.

Intense 1st set He's Gone??? You know it's good. This show bristles and pops from minute one. Every song has that intensity of purpose that characterizes this tour. Why do we crusties go on and on about '72? Listen to it, there isn't a slack minute. Every note, even on the songs we came to accept as throw-aways. Tell me I'm wrong if you can....
