Love the Europe '72 Dews but Vocals are better on the 77 Barton Hall Show tht on thei one from The Strand '72. I couldn't figure out if the Europe 72 Dew was actually 5/23/1972 or 5/26/1972. Has anyone else determined this? Voals sound more solid on 5/26 so I'm assuming that's the one on the CD. I have the entire 72 tour but when you import Europe 72 it just says "live in London". Doesn't say which day.
Black Peter

Knickerbocker Arena

Perfect Tempo and... I LOVE the combo of Bret Mydland's dirty pirate voice with Old Gandalf-Jerry on this one. In a world where 1977 and 1972 rule the chatter, this Black Peter and So Many Roads (7/9/95) embody the peaceful, reflective, winding down mellow old Jerry to me. Plus it rocks. RUN AND SEE.
New Minglewood Blues
Feb. 26, 1977
Swing Auditorium

I like this better than Barton hall 5/8/77 for two reasons: 1.) Sound Quality is better on this one (no 100% clean copies out there of Barton MInglewood) 2.) Slower Tempo. I Kind of like it slightly slower and funkier in this 2/26/1977 version rather than the hard charging 5/8/1977 which, of course, amaze-balls as well, no doubt.
Friend of the Devil

Fillmore East

Love the slow folky Friend of 9/20/1970. Crystal clear recordings out there easily amped.
