Grateful Dead Closing of Winterland December 31 1978

Closing of Winterland: December 31 1978 is a live album by the Grateful Dead. This was the last rock concert at San Francisco’s Winterland Arena and was released in 2003.

The venue had been the band’s spiritual home after the closure of the smaller Fillmore West and it was fitting that the Dead were the last band to play at the venue which was home to The Last Waltz.

The gig went on for so long that breakfast was served to the crowd at dawn.

Grateful Dead Europe 72 Vol. 2

Europe 72 Vol. 2 is a second live album by the Grateful Dead to come from the European tour after the highly regarded Europe 72.

Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux, who produced this 20-track compilation, says he only chose song titles that did not appear on Europe ’72 as a way to complement the original.

“I think this album, coupled with Europe ’72, represents a complete overview of the tour in every way,” he says. “In fact, songs like “Beat It On Down The Line,” “Next Time You See Me” and “Sing Me Back Home” were selected by the Grateful Dead for the first set, but were left off because there wasn’t enough room.”

This has the more psychedelic songs on it like Dark Star.

The European tour of 1972 is a high point in the history of the Grateful Dead but it was also the last time Pigpen was a functioning member and he died the following year.

A second volume of recordings Europe 72 volume 2 has been released in 2011. There is even a release of the complete Europe ’72 shows – all 22 concerts on 73 CDs.

Grateful Dead had released two of their most popular and critically acclaimed studio albums – Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty – which go back to the roots of American music.

This may be too “country” for music lovers primarily looking for guitar improvisations. Most of us are going to find this much more approachable and easier to listen to because of the strong song structures.
