I really would Go with
1. Olympia May/3
2. Amsterdam
A fine problem to have, choosing between these two. 4/24's Dark Star takes it for me (maybe my very favorite), but then 4/14's Caution is hard to beat ~ I never thought 2/14/70 could be usurped from its throne, but 4/14 is a worthy contender, indeed.
4/24, with a long head start on my heart as Rockin' at the Rhein, still carries more sentimental value at this point.... But 4/14 has seen more play than any other show in my steamer (well, the one that's actually the property of Gentle Jack Jones), and it's been my taster's choice for several visiting friends....not to mention the DVD I've had for a few years.....so it may be gaining there, too.
Sigh......I'll just have to listen to each of them again......
[well, and 4/17, which I'm obviously mixing up with the other Tivoli.....ok, I'll play them all THREE again....]
4/14 vs 4/24
4/14 takes it! Everybody has their favorites but for some reason these two stand out for me. Both have crazy Dark Stars- but 4/14's disc three is unbelievable- between the Jamming on Dark Star and Pig's energy on Good Lovin and Caution I think it beats out 4/24 but not by much. I was surprised because I heard so much about Paris, but I just didn't think it had that something (I am sure I will find it with repeated listening!).
Hey now - - I would suggest calling 1800CALDEAD or to PM marye. Seems like you've exercised more than an ounce of patience. Don't give up! Good luck...
How Does this game work, it is frustrating. My favorite shows were Olympia and Amsterdam. Looks like you are trying to go sell out all of your old live stuff.
Sorry to pollute this thread, but since it is a Europe '72 promotion I thought maybe I'd get some help or attention. I had a lot of fun with the 30 days of the Dead promotion but they never sent my prize. I have e-mailed politely and have been completely ignored. It's really a matter of principle at this point, because it is just a Europe '72 t-shirt but I was excited to give it to a friend for Xmas who loves that era. I buy a lot here so please don't flame me for whining about a freebie. I'm just wondering if someone has a suggestion or encountered that problem as well. Thanks and peace.
It looks like Bobby's funny mask is on the cover art for the Lille show as well. That looks like Phil's (and Jerry's?) funny mask on the 4-17 show.
Thanks for the answer! Mucho appreciated :-))
