Rockin' the Rhein with the Grateful Dead is a Grateful Dead triple live album released in 2004. It was recorded April 24, 1972, at "Rheinhallen" (Halle Sechs der Messe Düsseldorf), in the German town of Düsseldorf, during the band's European tour of 1972. The complete concert is included, but the order of the tracks on the CD was altered to fit the show on three discs, while preserving groups of segued tracks.
The two bonus tracks, "Turn On Your Lovelight" and "The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion)", were recorded May 24, 1972, in London, England. Additional tracks from this date had been previously released on Steppin' Out with the Grateful Dead. Pre-orders through the Grateful Dead Store included a bonus disc, recorded during the band's seven-day run at the Academy of Music in New York City, the last American shows before the European tour. More from this run was released on Dick's Picks Volume 30 and Dave's Picks Volume 14.
The April 24, 1972 show was later released with the entire tour, and the song order intact, on four discs as part of Europe '72: The Complete Recordings, along with the London tracks.
