Lmao you probably weren't even alive when the dead toured. Op asked for a good entry to the them
>>69932175
live 72 isn't even close to their best live work.
also, you don't need to be stoned. stop saying that shit.
>>69932207
You don't need to be, it's just a plus. And you're wrong, Europe 72 is objectively the best live dead. They're a jam band and 72 is pure jams. Anyone who would rec their studio albums is fucking stupid

>thinking europe 72 is a live album
there's so many overdubs
>>69932207
Europe 72 is a great introduction to them. Op's not asking for the most obscure show, he just wants to know where to start.
>>69932255
Overdubs don't change the fact that it's a live album
>>69932265
Okay anon, I just think it's boring compared to their 69-71 concerts. And like this anon^^ mentioned, too many overdubs. I don't believe it sounds vital enough to warrant a rec for a new fan.

77 was their best year.
