Grateful Dead – Olympia Theatre, Paris, France (5/3/72) 6xLP Vinyl Record Box Set (2021 Record Store Day Exclusive)

Available for the first time on vinyl is Grateful Dead’s revered “Olympia Theatre, Paris, France” performance recorded on the 5th of March 1972 during the bands legendary Europe ‘72 Tour. This massive 6-LP, 180-Gram edition celebrates of the twenty-two performances on the famed Europe ’72 tour, the first night in Paris on 5/3/72 has always been considered one of the best. This is proven by the fact that four songs from this concert were included on the seventeen-track, seminal platinum-selling Europe ’72 album. 

Featuring an “Other One” that comes out of Truckin’ and weaves in and out of other thematic and deep-space jams, as well as a side trip to “Me And Bobby McGee, “this is some of the Grateful Dead’s best, most inspired improvisation. The performance also includes five songs sung by Pigpen on what would be his final tour, including a massive Good Lovin’ which allows Pigpen to do what he does best: hold the audience in the palm of his hand while they hang on his every word. Mixed from the 16-track analog master tapes by Jeffrey Norman and mastered for vinyl by Grammy Award-winning engineer David Glasser, this album was brilliantly produced for release by David Lemieux.
