Grateful Dead : Bonus Disc CD !!! : Academy of Music - New York, New York ( NY ) - New York City : March 1972 : Rockin' The Rhein " Bonus Disc CD ! " : 2004 (1972/2004) Grateful Dead Productions, Inc. / Rhino ( GDP / Rhino ) - R2 78921 : Brand New ! : Out Of Print - Extremely-Rare !! Bonus Disc CD !!! Exclusive Pre / Early Order ' Only ' ! " Bonus Disc CD ! " which accompanied the " Rockin' The Rhein " 2004 release -- Amazing ! & Mesmerizing !! ... '72 Grateful Dead !!!!! Oh my " Good Ol' Grateful Dead " !!! It is pretty tough to put into ' words ' just how incredibly awesome this Extremely-Rare ! 1-CD " Bonus Disc " is ... but I'll certainly try my very-best. First off, if you are a serious fan of Pre-Hiatus ( 1974 ) Grateful Dead, then you absolutely ! need to hear this release - a complete no brainer - and, if you collect " only the best " in G.D. releases -- then yes, you most definitely need this one !! I hope you already have it, as it is without question one of the most difficult " Bonus Discs " to acquire of all-time ... and it is definitely beyond evasive. Most likely because it's just that good, and also I suppose because it was released Two-Decades-Ago ! ( in 2004 ) - and most Dead Fans are likely completely-reluctant to let this one go from their cherished music collections. And Musically ... just think this >>> '72 Veneta, Oregon ! meets Europe '72 ! Basically ( without ' totally ' spoiling the soup for you ), this March '72 release from the Academy of Music in New York City offers 6-Tracks ( Playing In The Band - Sugar Magnolia > Caution ( Do Not Stop On Tracks ) > Jam > Uncle John's Band & Dark Star ! ), and the Band comes straight out of the gate swinging & way-ready to Rock ! The Playing In The Band is the 1st selection, and it is pretty much the victim ( though ... victim, in a Grate-way ! ) of a no-holds-barred Jerry Garcia electric-assault with some of the meanest Colorsound Wah live action that you can imagine ! And yes, I know - you can ' imagine ' quite a bit ! ... as so can I. But no-kidding at all here, as it is right about here that Phil starts to pound away at high-volume rhythm perfection, and the drum-stick action begins to be spot on ! At this point you are like yep ... they are in " The Zone " !!! This Sugar Mag is rip-roaring and I won't even say when, in an effort to not spoil it for you - but a little later on this disc, Garcia toys-around with what I think we could ' almost ' consider a near Sugar Mag ' re-entry ' - though it gets called off in a subtle fashion by some deeper & spacier jamming. Simply some must-hear live G.D. & Garcia ! on this moment of Magic ! Then, Pigpen straight-out muscles this ' Caution ', and as we well-know - this was some of his last " Best " on U.S. soil - though, in Europe he did still manage to bring the very best he could. The ' Jam ' on here is played with integrated passion & power - and, heads beautifully ! into Uncle John's Band before finishing up with a mesmerizing Dark Star !!! I mean how can one really go wrong with this 6-track 73+ minute '72 G.D. treasure. Without any question, this is one of the very best ( top-shelf ! ) " Bonus Disc CD " G.D. rarities here. And, considering that it takes place inside the U.S. ( in New York ! ) in March 1972 as a " warm-up " for the Twenty-Two ( 22 ) Europe '72 stops which followed -- the Fan-demand for this one makes way-more than good sense. Enjoy !!! And ... you might want to think about getting out those " Headphones " too for this one ! Very-very special '72 G.D., indeed ... Brand New !!! Wow !!!!!! Amazing . . .
