Upon closer look at the Europe ’72 vinyl cover art, fans have noticed that the red squares on his t-shirt happen to be the exact same size as standard a tab of acid. The artwork on each these CDs are another rabbit hole of awesome Grateful Dead art, this time from the creative brains of illustrator Scott McDougall. In 2011, all 22 shows from the Spring 1972 tour were also released on a huge box set containing full soundboard recordings from every show, titled Europe ’72: The Complete Recordings. In combination with the Rainbow Foot on the back, the Ice Cream Kid art embodied the youthful and carefree spirit of the Grateful Dead on their first European tour, which is certainly in the running for the best Dead tour of all time. To them it came to represent their shenanigans in Europe, which were notoriously zany and disorganized, as it was the band’s first time in Europe during the years when they were experimenting with and indirectly helping to distribute a lot of LSD. The Mouse / Kelley Rainbow Foot from the back cover of Europe ’72.Īccording to Skully, Alton Kelley claims that the idea comes from something that he witnessed in his youth, but the band always had their own take on the meaning. On the back cover of Europe ’72 is another famous piece of Grateful Dead art created by Kelley / Mouse, the Rainbow Foot, or the “Truckin’ Shoe” as former Dead manager Rock Skully referred to it. Mouse and Kelley collaborated on many Grateful Dead art, posters, and album covers in the 1960s and 1970s, however the Europe ’72 Ice Cream Kid is one of the most well-known of all Stanley Mouse and Grateful Dead pairings, second only to the Skeleton and Roses artwork, lovingly nicknamed Bertha. The cover art for the vinyl featured the iconic Ice Cream Kid, designed by Stanley Mouse in collaboration with his partner Alton Kelley. The official release of the live triple album Europe ’72 came in November of 1972. It’s frequently brought up in conversation as the best “Morning Dew” of all time, right alongside 5/8/77 and 10/12/84. It contains definitive versions of many Grateful Dead songs including “Brown-Eyed Women”, “Ramble on Rose”, “Tennessee Jed”, and of course the notorious “Morning Dew” from the Lyceum on 5/26/72, during which Dead publicist Dennis McNally recalls seeing Jerry with tears rolling down his face, back to the audience and completely in tune with the song and the audience. It features what the band felt were the best recordings from their European tour in the Spring of 1972, packed into one big live album. The Grateful Dead’s Europe ’72 is an undisputed classic in the Dead canon.
