A two year project to remaster and remix every concert the Grateful Dead played during their first European tour should be complete in time for a fall release that qualifies as one of the biggest box sets ever assembled.  The 22 concerts will be packaged in a 60 CD set that is expected to retail for close to $450. Tour highlights went into the triple album Europe '72. Calling the series of shows the group did across the pond '...one of the top three tours the Dead ever did', project producer David Lemieux said, '...there's a pristine 16 track recording of every show. It's a perfect storm.'  Bob Weir noted that the tour represented a challenge to the band, one the group met because, '...we were ready for fresh ears.  We were hot.'
