9-18-74: parc des expositions, dijon, france.

in the fall of 1974 the dead made a brief european jaunt before their winterland “retirement” run, playing 10 shows in england, germany, and france. the standout performance for me is the dijon gig, featuring what has to be considered among the best first sets ever performed by the band. sourced from the pre-FM soundboard reels and remastered by mr. charlie miller, this one is very much a keeper. https://archive.org/details/gd74-09-18.sbd.miller.20732.sbeok.shnf

and if one ned and phil outing wasn't enough, here's the seastones soundcheck from earlier that day. it's very out there, just the way i like my lagin jams.
