Grateful Dead - Europe '72, Vol 22: 26 05 1972 > London torrent

Europe '72, Vol. 22: May 26th, Lyceum Theatre, London, England:

The last night. As much the band could be forgiven for being exhausted and ready to go home, they brought their A-game and played what many consider to be one of the top two or three shows on the tour.

A 19 song first set (!) ends with the usual second set closer ‘Not Fade Away > GDTRFB > Not Fade Away’, and the set also included a 17 minute ‘Playing In The Band’, the show at which ‘Playing’ became the 17-25 minute jam vehicle it would be for the rest of 1972 through 1974.

The second, set, though, is so good that it was immortalized on Side 5 and Side 6 of the ‘Europe '72’ album. What that album is missing from this jam, though, is a terrific ‘Other One’ around the ‘Morning Dew’, and the finest (and totally appropriate) ‘Sing Me Back Home’ of the tour.
