Grateful Dead, Europe 72: The Complete Recordings (5/10/72)
PLAYING IN THE BAND
The 5/10/72 “Playing in the Band” is included here because I heard a musicological presentation on the song by Brian Felix (of UNC-Asheville) at the conference “So Many Roads: The World in the Grateful Dead” in San Jose on November 6, 2014. The Europe ’72 tour was the time when “Playing in the Band” was growing into one of the Dead’s most important improvisational frameworks. You can order the complete show from DeadNet.
Support for the Grateful Dead Hour comes this week from:
The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, a venue that hosted popular 1970s rock bands like Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd. Phil Lesh & Friends will perform at The Cap for their fourth weekend in a row on November 21 and 22, with John Kadlecik, Joe Russo, Jason Crosby, and Keller Williams. New local artists are featured frequently at the venue’s nightclub Garcia’s. Events, information, and ticketing at thecapitoltheatre.com.
