    An institution in American rock music, the Grateful Dead continue to surprise the ears with new arrangements and altered styles. If their playing continues with the force that was heard in San Bernardino, the spirit of the Dead will live on. - Sun Telegram

    We are more than pleased to kick off this year's Dave's Picks series with the much requested and quite spirited complete performance from Swing Auditorium, San Bernardino, CA 2/26/77. The Swing ’77 show was a unique beast, unlike any others from this era: as the band’s first concert of the year, it bridged the gap between the new and re-emerging sound of the returning 1976 Grateful Dead and the precision excellence of the spring ’77 Dead. Debuting two of their most intricately crafted songs of the 1970s, “Terrapin Station” (to open, no less!) and “Estimated Prophet,” the Dead demonstrated right from the start of this new touring year that they were not going to be a nostalgia act; they were going to be as adventurous and ambitious as they were at any time in their career.

    Join the adventure as they soar through tried and true ("Playing In The Band," "Tennessee Jed"), well-loved covers ("Mama Tried," "Samson and Delilah," "Dancing In the Street"), and epic new jams.

    Rounded out with three songs from Santa Barbara, CA 2/27/77, this one was recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman.

    Dave's Picks Volume 29 is limited to 20,000 individually-numbered copies*.

    *Limited to 2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    A DaP30 date hasn’t been given yet.
    Let’s hope we get a Box announcement first.

    Next Dave's

    I've forgotten when the next Dave's Pick will drop. I searched dead.net to no avail. This new site sure is hard to find things sometimes. Can some fellow deadhead clue me in on how much longer I must wait?

    Thanks for posting the clip of the CRB playing Its All Over Now, Baby Blue. Great funky bass and superb guitar solo. I am not so sure about the synth solo, though! I am not so keen on synths when they are played like conventional keyboards, generally, and for some reason, the better the keyboardist is, the less likely they seem to be able to work the darn things. Back to the CRB- curious how they all look alike.

    I'd forgotten about these. I only have the second one-but its a great album-opens with a superb "Vibration and Light Suite" that eclipses the studio version, plus a cover of "They love Each Other". Great band to see live, too.

    Jimbo, since its release, I had meant to give that 2/27 Dew a "proper" listen in the car, with the dial to 11. Well it slipped my mind, so I just gave it a whirl. Wow. V guy, I got a kick out of your comment a while back - Morning Dew ain't no filler. This one blew my hair back like the Maxell guy in his chair. I'm second-guessing Cornell now. I'm going to have to put it on and do a re eval.

    Edit - yeah, I prefer the 2/27 Dew. I know there are people out there tearing their shirts off yelling blasphemy, but this one really grabbed me. Garcia is much higher the mix on 2/27, and the ending feels even a little more intense. Phil also has a brilliant moment there during the climax. But this is just me, and I was not around when Cornell made its special rounds in the tape Trader's World. Anyway, what an enjoyable morning. Thanks Jim.

Right on Uncle Sam
I'd think most may agree, this thread helped get our collective mojo back.
Whether it was the awesomeness of the 'Schwiiiing' or just that the time was right, the metamorphosis is hard to ignore. I trust it will carry over with the momentum in tow aiming at the prime time rockabilly-fest in 2/3/70.

Peace All

The more things change.. the more they remain the same.
Be good all, I hope things equalize on the DaP 30 thread.

Seriously, here's to humanity, civility, good karma and doing, and saying, things that help us all.
