My first Grateful Dead cassette was Europe 72, my mom died and I was just lost. I was 13 years old and one of her friends said listen to this. He just pitched it to me. Then and there 1992 Alabama, i became a Deadhead

The tone Jerry got out of Alligator was so amazing. His sound during this era and when he was playing the Travis Bean in the 77 period were the best.

@tiggasgaminghd49926 ай бұрын
Man I love Europe 72’ so much, It’s just sad seeing pig on stage knowing how little time he had left with the band and his life. Alligator and Love Light were always highlights for me in the primal dead sets of 67-69, pigs little quips and raps on stage just bring a new energy and life to the band. The band didn’t lose much technically or musically when he departed but a part of their soul was surely permanently fractured. As Jerry himself said at pigpens funeral “That’s not pig lying there. That’s the grateful dead!”
