Pack your bags for High Adventure this season, the Dead cast is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the legendary Europe 72. And we're going on tour. The whole tour. We've got band members including Donna Jean Godsho McKay. Being on that bus was one of the funnest things in the world. Somebody would yell out, castle on the left, castle on the right. Tour architect Sam Cutler. That was one nil. One to the Grateful Dead, zero to Danish customs. Fellow travelers, including Mountain Girl. One bus was the bolos and our bus was the bozos. And there was some competition. Crew member Steve Parrish. I couldn't believe my eyes. The bridge was made out of wrought iron. Skeletons from one end to the other. Letters home from Pickpen. Kensington Palace Hotel in London. How do you, folks? Boy, did we knock them dead in London. They leapt up and down, hollered for more and more, which, according to Sam and Rock, they just don't do. Here. Memories of new fans who saw them on the Europe 72 tour. Like Elvis Costello. One after another, really great, tightly composed song. Tennessee Jedi. Ramble on Rose. Jack Straw. It was such a transporting thing. Goodbye, Mama and Papa. Goodbye Jack and Jill. Plus more bozos and bolos than you can shake a stick at. What's got 43 heads, 11 dark stars, seven musicians, two buses and one itinerary. Get on the bus and follow along as we hit each Europe 72 tour stop 50 years to the week after it happened. New good old Grateful Dead cast episodes drop every Thursday at dead.net starting April 7th. How many of you out there can understand what we're saying? Raise your hands. Not very many Ramble on roads.
