Contest: A Free MP3 and chance to win “Europe ’72” by The Grateful Dead

I had the great pleasure of speaking with longtime Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux this past week for an interview that will be online soon. How soon? As soon as my fingers can do the transcribing work!  Lemieux is currently knee deep in the assembly work for the highly anticipated 72 CD release of Europe ’72, a massive package that brings together all 22 original shows recorded for the original Europe ’72 release in their entirety, including overdub-free versions of the original album tracks for the first time ever!

As work continues on the package, the Dead camp have been sharing the occasional taste of the upcoming package with three free MP3s released to date. And now you can add a fourth to the mix – “Casey Jones,” as recorded on April 11th, 1972 in Newcastle, England. Capping off the first set, which stretched out 18 tracks deep, this version of “Casey” does a mighty fine job of bringing the train back to the station for a brief pause.

Download the MP3 here and use the widget to share the musical love with all of your friends.

Now, while we can’t offer you a freebie copy of the entire upcoming release, we do have a copy of the two CD expanded reissue of Europe ’72 ready to ship away to one lucky ATV reader. For your chance to grab it, send us a note with “Grateful Dead” in the subject line. Good luck!

By the way, don’t forget that Record Store Day this coming Saturday will be your chance to grab the brand new mono reissue of the first Grateful Dead album, pressed on 180 gram vinyl for all aficionados to enjoy!
