Comments:
MFJazzyCat Aug 19, 2023 How lucky we are to have this music. This version of China / Rider may well be the most definitive and certainly beats the pants off the E72 rendition. Get it while you can.
Flabbergasted_Vibes Apr 28, 2023 When it comes to the Dead, we all have an “embarrassment of riches.” And while critique is always healthy, it sometimes bugs me to see people complaining. Yeah this is obviously not the “best” show of the tour, but there is an energy and excitement here that crackles throughout and is still contagious after 50 years. They’re about to invade Europe, folks! And for all those people complaining about the card stock sleeves that can scratch your records, PRO TIP: you can sleeve these in a nice MoFi or MoFi-style inner with a rice paper backing, and they slip nicely into the lovely, printed card stock ones. They may poke out a little bit, but they fit perfectly in the box. Try it, I’ve been doing it since I started collecting these, out of the same concerns as you. It’s an easy fix!
lotr121 Dec 28, 2022 Another outstanding Europe 72 vinyl release. All around excellent mastering, pressing, and recording quality! Great to have the one that started off the tour
JoshuaSeanHaynie Dec 16, 2022 Hope they continue this release series until we have all of the Europe 72’ shows. With the 3 RSD releases and the Lyceum box we’re already about a third of the way there. But for the life of me I don’t understand why they can’t use polylined sleeves. Luckily I didn’t notice any scuffing like there was on the first RSD release. But it’s still always more of a risk when they just use the paper.
MusicBoxxRecords Nov 25, 2022 Got done spinning the entire show — what else needs to be said? Another solid quality Dead RSD release: good QC, dynamic pressing, flat wax. One LP of mine had a little bit of dust/dirt on it but played just fine after a cleaning… not uncommon in this day and age. One thing to note, this one came with printed inners this time!
