5/4/72 is good, but not as good as the previous night. “You Win Again” and “It Hurts Me Too” back-to-back killed my buzz. “He’s Gone” again reverses the cat on a tin roof and nine mile skiddin verses, to ill effect. I think he’s figuring out that the other was it better. On the other…

It’s fun listening to these things in such a way that I can’t note times or what have you. I retain a lot less information, but maybe I enjoy the music more than I would if I were taking notes. 4/29/72 con’t I really liked the Dark Star > Sugar Mag > Caution – what’s…

4/29/72 in the great city of Hamburg. First set seemed good, nice “Good Lovin’” again. He’s Gone needs and will eventually get some re-arranging, or he has just been getting a few things wrong, like the order of the “nine mile skiddin’” and “cats on a tin roof”. Maybe a little of both. Just heard…

4/26/72, at the Jahrhundert Halle in Frankfurt, is a monster show. No wonder most of the show figured as the first post-Garcia live Dead release, Hundred Year Hall. The 36-minute “The Other One” has not an ounce of fat. At one point Phil is doing a little waltz that sounds like the bastard child of…

http://deadlists.com/deadlists/showresults.asp?KEY=4/24/72 Man, what a great show. Truckin’ out of the gate. Lots of good energy. Good Lovin’ another E72 masterpiece, goes all kinds of weird places, including a little ditty/ballad at some point, can’t remember if that’s while he’s repeating for what felt like minutes, almost to himself, one of the very sexually evocative lines…

4/16/72 impressed me, 4/17/72 impressed me even more. The Dark Star is one for the ages, saying like a hundred or two separate things, but totally hanging together. Caution is another killer version, not quite as pulse-racing raunchy as the earlier ones, but still quite explicit, Pigpen working all night long, the sun rising on…

The 4/16/72 Good Lovin’ is another balls-out raunchfest, a killer, Pigalicious feature. http://bozosandbolos.blogspot.com/ http://deaddisc.com/disc/Europe_72_Box.htm

E72, post 01
I have been listening to the integral E72, starting from 4/7 and working my way forward. Not obsessing about details, just listening while pedaling. Some random thoughts. 4/7 has a lot of bucking bronco energy, but lacks discipline. 4/8 so much more controlled and effective than the first night. What a great night of entertainment…
