1972 Grateful Dead concert released on iammin’ two-disc set

Ft&HunCm %f>c*f*»
One of (ht* best things about being a
Grateful Dead fan is that there is alway s a
new tape to get. Hundreds of people
taped the band's shows every year, and
once in a while, a crispy soundboard
copy of a .show was released into circula
tion by sound man Dan Healy.
In l‘t'2. the IV.td toured Europe for the
firsi time and played what are considered
by Deadheads to be some of their liest
shows ever A live, three-record set was
released following that tour, and it cap
tured some of the hottest versions of their
songs to date
While it is widely known that there is a
plethora of live Grateful Dead ret ordings
available through bootlegs, it has been
somewhat difficult to come across many
tapes of decent quality from Europe '72

"We re not the ones that want

think!"
At least they are honest The
latest release from the Voodoo
Glow Skulls, h'irmr, is not exact
ly overflowing with insight. In
fact, it is quite lacking in musi
cal virtuosity, integrity and
taste.
The hand desperately tries to
make up for this, however, by
fully utilizing what they do
have, a large band, including
trombone and trumpet, youthful
creativity and testosterone
I'he result is a fusion of punk
rock-brass-ska-hip-hop with
explosive potential.
The seven members of the
Glow Skulls waste no time.
Where they are going exactly
has yet to be decided, but they
are definitely cruising. Within
15 seconds of the first track they
are in overdrive, and they never
bother to shift down.
An occasional respite is
