The European tour was expensive and logistically complicated, and the band's record company hoped that a live album would recoup its costs. The album was the first to include pianist Keith Godchaux and his wife, vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux, and the last to feature founding member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan, who died shortly after its release. It covers the band's tour of Western Europe in April and May that year, and showcases live favourites, extended improvisations and several new songs including "Jack Straw" and "Brown Eyed Women". It is the band's third live album and their eighth album overall.
Europe '72 is a live triple album by the Grateful Dead, released in November 1972.
