G.D. 1974 European Tour ! ... London, England !! - at the Alexandra Palace !!! ... " Grateful Dead Europe '74 !!!!! "

Dead Fans !!!  The " Underrated ! " Europe '74 Tour, gosh - and I don't even know exactly ' where ' to start on this-one. Wait, I know -- visualize this : The Grateful Dead Movie ( Jerry Garcia's movie-making pride & joy ) that most Deadheads have seen & all of us love ! Well, here's the same Band line-up - same energy - similar set lists & same spacey, yet musically spacious Grateful Dead - only the " Performing in Europe ! " version.   I've always felt that Musically, this Tour is way-underrated - and back in the ( analog ! ) day, it was extremely uncirculated as well - at least from a comparative standpoint.  I do acknowledge that it was a short tour ( only 7 shows in less than 2 months ), but from the various portions I have heard, it is very tight - spacey & there are plenty of high energy moments, right alongside the equal " far-out " zones. I mean Hey Phil & Ned - Thanks for the Seastones & all of our " Set 1.5's " !!  Also, I do believe this entire Tour was treated to the sweet sounds & tones of the Wolf ( Irwin Guitar ) courtesy of Jerry Garcia.  We've got Keith & Donna very nicely settled in ( arguably, I guess ), and everything seems perfect -- other than that little problem called complete burn-out from the road, and here everybody is ready to take a break, quit, end the band - an unknown hiatus ??   I always like the G.D. Movie footage where Bob is hanging out with John Barlow and talking about focusing on solo projects.  Hey, that's where things were.  I mean naturally Jerry the music machine was going to keep playing daily, but this opened up cool opportunities with Merl Saunders & the Legion Of Mary !  So musically, you get what you would expect ( and of course take for granted, naturally ) on this Fall '74 3-Disc Set : The Scarlet - B.T. Wind - Monster Playing in the Band - Weather Report > Stella --- and a Smoking ! Uncle > NFA > Dark Star > Spam Jam > Morning Dew !!!!!  But then, it was back to S.F. for what we all know ( and even have seen ) in the glorious & family-like atmosphere of the mid-October Winterland 5-Night Run, also billed as the " The Last One " ( Final Show(s) ! ) for the Grateful Dead.  I mean even the Ticket Stub itself from the 10/20/74 Winterland Show was ink-stamped " THE LAST ONE " right across the face !?!  And Thankfully ... it didn't last & next thing we know >>> Grateful Dead Alive in '75 ! our very-own Grateful Dead back in Action !! --- & in " Blues For Allah " style & fashion !!!  YES !!!!  Enjoy !!!!!
