Lyceum Theatre, London, England 5/26/72 is a four-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded at the Lyceum Theatre on May 26, 1972 – the last show of the band's Europe '72 tour. It was released on July 29, 2022.[1][2][3]

Background

The concert was the last one of the band's Europe tour in 1972, and the last one that featured founding member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan as a lead vocalist.[4] He sang several songs, including "Mr. Charlie", "Chinatown Shuffle" and "The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion)", the latter of which he had just written.[5]

Release

The same concert was included in the 24-LP box set Lyceum '72: The Complete Recordings, which was also released on July 29, 2022. Additionally, it was included in the 73-CD box set Europe '72: The Complete Recordings, released on September 1, 2011. All the concerts from Europe '72: The Complete Recordings were also released, in several batches, as individual albums; the 5/26/72 show came out on December 13, 2011.

The songs "Truckin' ", "Morning Dew", "Ramble On Rose", and "One More Saturday Night" were previously released on the album Europe '72 (1972). However, that album contained vocal overdubs, and slightly different guitar and piano overdubs to correct some mistakes, and most of the banter with the audience was removed.[6] "Jack Straw" was previously released on Steppin' Out with the Grateful Dead: England '72 (2002), and "Sing Me Back Home" was previously released on Europe '72 Volume 2 (2011).

The album's liner notes contain an essay about the concert written by David Gans, a music journalist and the host of the syndicated radio show The Grateful Dead Hour.[6]

At the May 26, 1972, concert, the opening act was the New Riders of the Purple Sage. Their performance was released as an album called Lyceum '72.
