Original album reissued plus full Lyceum Theatre gig on CD

The Grateful Dead’s first tour outside of North America was captured on Europe ’72, a triple live album that distilled peak moments from the 22 shows the band played in Europe. This record is now being reissued for its 50th anniversary as a 2CD set or 3LP vinyl.

The original 3LP album is reissued for it’s 50th anniversary on 3LP vinyl and 2CD (click image to enlarge)

Venues and locations include the Empire Pool in Wembley, London; the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam; the Olympia Theatre in Paris, France; the Tivoli Concert Hall, Copenhagen and London’s Lyceum Theatre.

In fact, the Lyceum gig, from 26 May 1972, was the last show of this tour and was the group’s penultimate performance with founding member, Ron ‘Pigpen’ McKernan, who died in March the following year. This is being released in full as a special 4CD set on the same date as the Europe 72 reissues (the Wembley show was issued on 5LP for the first of 2022’s Record Store ‘drop days’).

The Lyceum Theatre gig is presented in full across four CDs (click image to enlarge)

All audio is remastered by engineer David Glasser, with restored audio by Plangent Processes. Both Europe 72 and the Lyceum Theatre are released on 29 July 2022.
