Pretty unique for the Europe '72 tour, interesting rendition, the China Cat is good, the I know you rider is probably just average for Euro '72

Playin' In The Band

Love these 10-15 minute versions that hit every detail that I love a good Playin' to hit; then heading back to earth. All Europe '72 versions of PITB are worth of an upvote. The band was just so on-point during Spring '72.

this song always makes me think how much they developed/changed after this show, this show really marks the end of an era for the dead. the new '76-'78 era had been in the works briefly in '75, but with that being said, it always amazes me how much the band kept moving from year to year, constantly developing and building on top of each other. True musicianship and genuine love (hard to come by these days) for the music is what everyone in the Dead was about, that's one of the reasons I've been drawn to the Grateful Dead. Not to mention the ridiculous skill and ability to telepathically communicate on-stage, mid-jam; with their instruments. They really are a musical phenomenon, it's hard to explain this to people when I try to show them cool moments/jams; they just don't see it like I do, I'm sure most people on here that are heads have had that experience. It almost makes it more magical in the end though... but for the millions and millions that do GET it and carry on the torch and still carry it, thanks. I wouldn't have gotten introduced to them if it weren't for a friend that showed me them a few years back, I was immediately taken by Jerry's soulfulness in his guitar playing and his vocals/voice. When I dug deeper, I realized just how awesome everyone in the band was from every era, all adding some sort of spice to the recipe for on-stage experimental madness; of which was different and awesome every damn time. This music will carry on forever. This song reminds me of the time I got into the Grateful Dead and I remember just being completely blown away at this absolutely beautiful rendition of Morning Dew, almost as if it was like; "Where the fuck have I been all these years, and why haven't I been listening to these guys? Nobody else is like them". Sorry for blabbing on. I fucking love the Grateful Dead.
