    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.

    100 Year Hall

    I loved 100 Year Hall, especially the Comes A Time as I have a soft spot for that song.

    ..but what really blew me away was getting the steamer trunk and listening to all 22 shows, uninterrupted, in succession. In fact, it rejuvenated my interest in the music in a way my previous decades of listening had not. I still hit shows from that tour regularly and in the right mood.. it transcends my mood and outlook on life.

    Speaking of which.. planning my afternoon adventure now including what to listen too. What fun.

    Very cool feedback on the Hundred Year Hall release. On the one hand it's kind of a bummer that I didn't get to enjoy these releases when they first hit the streets, because I missed out on the community excitement. On the other hand, getting into the Grateful Dead hardcore revolved around ordering a new Europe 72 show every week for a couple of months, and then ordering a couple a week when I just couldn't wait any longer.

    This Tivoli show comes and goes on YouTube. Enjoy it while you can as it just came back up after a long absence.

    Today I'm going with the opening drive of the '73 marathon, February 9th. China Cat - check; Sunsine - check; Loose Lucy - check; Dead Battery - check.

    Drpryan's Psychedelic Breakfast

    I was shaken from the pleasant thoughts via Drpryan's Psychedelic Breakfast to someone telling me I need to travel to India for porn and steamy, expensive sin.

    I feel dirty. I'm taking an shower and will return when MaryE bans this filth monger from our world. Yukky.

    Last:30 trips Berkeley 68

    Went in to work early today (before anyone else arrived) and knew I needed some primordial dead. Thru on 20 Oct 68 and started working on a lesson. Good morning and then a Lovelight with Pig, followed by one continuous ride on the star all the way to the end of the tracks. Sure wish I had seen this show. I guess this would have been following granddad. Short show but 5***** quality and effort. Hopefully we'll get a gem box from this era soon. Also, I think the lesson I worked on is far better for it too.

    Continuing to spin some things I haven't listened to in too long.
    1- The Harder They Come soundtrack- Jimmy Cliff and Others, a great foundational reggae release, great mix of tunes. If you have never heard it, it is well worth a listen.
    2- FW '69 3/1/69 - Grateful Dead, I usually gravitate to 2/27 when I reach for the FW '69 box, so I went with 3/1 instead. I missed this when it first came out and had to pay a bit more than I would have liked when I picked it up, but no regrets. This is a premium primal dead run.
    3- Goats Head Soup - Rolling Stones, dig some of the more off the beaten path tracks on that one, 100 Years Ago, Winter and Can't You Hear the Music may not be what people think of first when they think Rolling Stones, but those songs just have a cool vibe.
    4- Blues for Allah (remastered and expanded) - Grateful Dead, been a long time since I played this one but what a cool album.
    5- Emotional Rescue - Rolling Stones, cause sometimes that title track just gets stuck in my head. Don't you know promises were never meant to keep? Just like the night, they dissolve off in sleep, I'll be your savior, steadfast and true, I'll come to your emotional rescue...

    As far as that Hundred Year Hall release, I remember how psyched I was when that came out, had that cool artwork, sounded great, and really opened my eyes to the fact that there was way more to E'72 than what was included on the first E '72 album.

    *Daves Pick #9 ‘Dark Star’

    ...I Absolutly agree , this Dark Star is frightening,scary at times and then what sounds like ‘space’ the band is deffently exploring unknown regions in cerebral canyons of delightful space bending musical structure...then into a nice ‘china doll’ & the Not fade away with going down the road & finish things off with a fine ‘one more Saturday night! I’m still enjoying this show, Daves Pick #9 #9 #9 #9... ; )

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.
