On its 50th Anniversary, November 5, 2022, Bearly Dead will cover Europe ’72 in its entirety at Historic Memorial Hall in Wilmington, VT! The band will bring their own unique spin to the classic album, reimagining the songs and jams like you’ve never heard before!
Released on November 5, 1972, Europe ’72 is a live triple album showcasing highlights from the Grateful Dead’s tour of Western Europe in April and May of that year. It became one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed albums by the Dead, and it was one of the first triple-record rock albums to be certified gold by RIAA. The album has since been certified double platinum. It was the first Dead album to include pianist Keith Godchaux and vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux, and the last to feature founding member Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, who died shortly after its release.
Bearly Dead is an all-star cast of players with deep roots in the New England jam & festival scene. While the band plays all of The Grateful Dead classics, they also dive into an extended catalog, which may include any song that any member of the Dead ever performed. With over 230 songs in rotation and new material being added all the time, Bearly Dead performs wildly different set lists every night and ensures that each show is a unique experience. With no designated “Jerry” or “Bobby”, this band is able to breathe new life into songs with their fresh, high-energy approach to them. Bearly Dead is a setlist-nerd’s dream!!!
