Description: Grateful Dead : Europe '72 : The Complete Recordings : Show # 21 : May 25, 1972 ( 5/25/72 : 5/25/1972 ) : Lyceum Theatre - London, England ( ENG ) : 4 CD : 2011 (1972/2011) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino ( GDP / Rhino ) - GRA2-6023 ( 21 ) : Scott McDougall Cover Art ! : Very-Rare !! The 2nd to Last ... & Smokin'-Hot !!! 5/25/72 Grateful Dead performance at the Lyceum Theatre in London, England on the Europe '72 Tour !!! ... May 25th, 1972 ( 5/25/1972 ) : 4-CD Set !!!!Grateful Dead Fans who Love & even Live-for ! that Good Ol' Grateful Dead sound ... and at its Finest ! Offered here indeed is the Smokin' !!! 5/25/72 Lyceum Show ( Lyceum Theatre, London, England ) - the 21st Show ( & 2nd to Last / Final ) - of the Magical Grateful Dead Europe '72 Tour!!! And ... if just perhaps 5/25/72 is one of the four ( 4 ) " Legendary " Europe '72 Shows - that ... you have yet to hear ? Well then ... Oh-Wow !!! are your ears in for a serious improvisational live-music treat !!! As you might well expect - considering the time & era of Grateful Dead Music we are talking about here ... the Band is Red-Hot right out of the gate for this Monumental Tour ... but as this amazing 4-CD Set from 5/25/72 well-proves, maybe even more-so at the tail end ! Seven ( 7 ) Shows were played at the Academy of Music in New York City in Late-March ( 3/21-28/72 ) - and if you have heard pieces, parts or all of that magnificent run - then you already know how "effective" that NYC run was as the ideal " Tour Warm-Up " for this Big-Time Europe '72 stretch that was right around the corner. Europe '72 kicked-off at Wembley Empire Pool ( London ) on 4/7/72 - as part of a two-night stand. And from there it was 20 More Shows ( 22 in Total ) stretching from London, to Newcastle upon Tyne ( England ) - to Copenhagen - to Aarhus ( Denmark ) - back to Copenhagen - to Bremen ( Germany ) - to Dusseldorf ( W. Germany ) - to Frankfurt ( 100 Year Hall ! ) - to Hamburg - to Paris - to the Bickershaw Festival ( Wigan, England ) - to Amsterdam - to Rotterdam - to France - to Luxembourg - to Munich ... and then back again to London for a final 4-night stand at the Lyceum ! Including this here Smokin' ! Show from May 25th ! In my personal opinion - along with I hope ! many other Dead Fans ... I think this just might be a little overshadowed by the popularity & previous commonality of the 5/26/72 ( last Lyceum night ) - and, naturally - the Europe '72 Closing Show. This Show here on 5/25 ... just has " It " - and the Band just Completely ! delivers the goods. And, at least to me in this particular G.D. context - it means copious ! amounts of consistent Energy ! ... Fluid-ness - and just a keen ' together ' sense of pop & flow ... where the Band just seems to read the next members step - virtually ahead of this timing structures, and bars too - if I may. Everybody is just thinking ahead in an Outstanding ! musical-way. I mean looking at almost any Europe '72 Setlist - is almost like a kid walking into the candy store ( kinda like the Ice Cream Kid !! - Ha ! ) ... but - this 4-CD Set just goes to show with Perfection ! - just how Thick ! & thorough ... a Europe '72 Setlist can be. Basically, offering it all ! Well, you know ... ' all ' is a lot in any era of Good Ol' Grateful Dead ... but - wow ... this is so-just about as close as perfect gets. See ... the Band was just getting better on this Europe '72 - at everything ! ... even mastering the ' perfecto ' Set List !!! Ha ! At least in my mind ... Promised ! out of the gate, met by a spunky Brown-Eyed Women out of Garcia ! Then ... Big Boss Man ! ( one of the Hottest ! of the Tour !! ) - Black Throated, Jed, and ... yep - you guessed it - Mr. Charlie !!! Can't miss that !?! Then ... a Heater !! of a China > Rider !!! in the 8/9 spot - with a treblesque ! Bobby McGee to follow. Then, Disc 2 kicks off with a Beauty ! of a Good Lovin' ... Playin' ! And, what a call after ... Brokedown Palace ! Things get so exploratory on the back-end of Playin' - that they could have even segued !!?! So-hot ! ... and then followed by a Whalloping ! Casey Jones !!! Uncle ... Big Railroad ! ... Chinatown ... Ramble One Rose !!! And, if that's not enough ' good news ' ? Well ... here's some more - because you've got 2 more Discs to go !!! Dang ... God Bless the Europe '72 !!!!! Ha ! And, actually ... Disc 3 really could get no-better - and ... neither could Disc 4 !!!! Disc 3 >>> Uncle John's > Wharf Rat > Dark Star !!! > Sugar Magnolia See ?! And, for Disc 4 ? >>> Comes A Time > El Paso > Sitting On Top ! > GDTRFB > Saturday Night !!! Wow ..... I mean what else can be said ? There has always ! been a lot of ' talk ' in Deadheadland - about these Lyceum Shows ... the Final Four !!!! But, just like I've always-said ... give 5/25 a try - and it will not ! let you down. Some say this one is even the best ' of ' them all. All in all ... I think the general-consensus says that 5/26/72 can't be topped - and takes ( & eats ! ) the cake overall - but, not so fast on giving 5/25/72 it's due ... because it's a Dandy !!! No need to hide in any Phone Booth for this one ... cuz it's time to get out & shake your shoes !! Whoa !!! ... Enjoy this Europe '72 ' The Complete Recordings ' Beauty !!!!!
