The Amazing !!! Night 2 !! ( of 4 ) ... ' The ! ' 5/24/72 Grateful Dead Show at the
Lyceum Theatre ! in London, England !! on the Europe '72 Tour !!! ... May 24th,
1972 ( 5/24/1972 ) !!!!!
Grateful Dead Fans who Love & even Live-for ! that Good Ol' Grateful Dead sound ... and at its Finest ! Offered here is the Amazing !!! 5/23/72 Lyceum ( ' 2nd ' ) Show ( Lyceum Theatre - London, England ) - the 20th Show ! - from the Magical !! Grateful Dead Europe '72 Tour !!! If you have never heard this Lyceum performance before ? My goodness are you in for a serious treat - and a Grateful-One !!! As you might well expect - considering the Time & Era of Grateful Dead Music we are talking about here ... the Band is Red-Hot right out of the gate for this Monumental Tour ... but as this Amazing ! 3-CD Set well-proves, maybe even more-so at the tail end ! Seven ( 7 ) Shows were played at the Academy of Music in New York City in Late-March ( 3/21-28/72 ), and if you have heard pieces, parts or all of that magnificent run - then you already know how " effective " that NYC run was as the ideal " Tour Warm-Up " for this Big-Time Europe '72 stretch that was right around the corner. Europe '72 kicked-off at Wembley Empire Pool ( London ) on 4/7/72, as part of a two-night stand. And from there it was 20 More Shows ( 22 in Total ) stretching from London, to Newcastle upon Tyne ( England ), to Copenhagen, to Aarhus ( Denmark ), back to Copenhagen, to Bremen ( Germany ), to Dusseldorf ( W. Germany ), to Frankfurt ( 100 Year Hall ! ), to Hamburg, to Paris, to the Bickershaw Festival ( Wigan, England ), to Amsterdam, to Rotterdam, to France, to Luxembourg, to Munich ... and then back again to London for a final 4-night stand at the Lyceum ! Including this here Amazing !!! performance from May 24rd ! Personally ... I just Love ! the personality-infused Big Ben !!! cartoon on the front of this one ... and it's quite-fitting, indeed ' symbolically ' - as this was a Big !!! Grateful Dead Show ! Show # 2 of a 4-Show stand, during 4-straight days ! - with, no-night-off ! The Good Ol' Grateful Dead just kept Rockin' ! the Legendary Lyceum, with minimal ! sleep over this 4-Day stretch ... and, not during a single-note can one tell ! And, this was at the Tail-End ! of the 22-Show Europe '72 Tour, so ... to some degree - this just had-to be a bit of a Grind ?!? But ... just as you might-well expect ? This is indeed the Grateful Dead in only their 7th ! Year together - their ' arguable ' Prime ! ... and, they just get after-it ! Musically. There is some-sort of sheer Live-Magic ! coated all over the 3-CD's in this Set !!! The Deal is Hot ! Cold Rain opens ... the Dire Wolf ! comes out to play ... China > Rider ! - followed up by Playin' !!! A Huge Jack Straw !! A Massive ... Casey Jones !!! And then, following an air-tight & sparked ! Black Peter ... it is On !!! >>> Truckin' > Drums > Other One !!! > Sing Me Back Home - Sugar Magnolia > Lovelight ! > The Stranger > One More Saturday Night ! Wow ... I don't know myself - I mean sure, this isn't the ' longest ' Show of the Tour - nor, does it have a jump-off-the-sheet type Set List ? But, at least to my ears ? This here 5/24/72 Lyceum Show is quite-possibly one of the Best ! of this entire Tour ??!! This one is definitely a bit ( well, very ! ) overshadowed by the ' Tour-Closer ' at the Lyceum - just 2-nights later, but Musically ? Oh my goodness ... does this one simply stand on it's own ! Proud & Tall ! ... just kinda like Big Ben does !! Ha! A Simply-Beautiful ! Lyceum Show, from this Monumental ! - & Legendary !!! Tour ... Enjoy this Europe '72 ' The Complete Recordings ' Pure-Beauty !!!
