... having attended all three. : ))
However, the Archive element at this site lists these Rex Foundation shows as "without" Bruce, as opposed to "with".
IIRC, it was the August trio (my last three attended) for which Bruce was not present. Those are also excellent - and any amount of either run that could be released as a DP would be most welcome! - daverockJoined:No one ever called Jerry Garcia camp.
That original album, Europe 72, is a great record. I've been listening to Wembley 4/8/72 this afternoon - on vinyl as part of the box set that came out a few years ago. If this is still available I would highly recommend it.
As a counter point I have started on the David Bowie box set " Rock N' Roll Star" which focuses on his recording of "Ziggy Stardust" and the BBC recordings from 1972. Excellent - but so different from what the Dead were playing around the same time in Europe. There's a beautiful hard back book in the Bowie box, and in one of the printed interviews from 1972, Charles Shaar Murray quizzes him about being camp, and says "No one ever called Jerry Garcia camp". To which Bowie replies, " No, right, but he's a musician. And I'm not a musician." Then.. " I have a creative force which finds it's way through into a musical form".
