    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.

    My pleasure!

    Anyone else hear the "TLEO>NFA Jam" more as an embryonic "Supplication"? At first I thought I heard TLEO, but now, all I can hear is Supplication (with a healthy dose of NFA...)

    Peace

    Absolutely-100% gold standard. I am not one for queueing, so I hope it will be possible to buy these albums online at some point. Maybe I should stand in line this year to make sure. Only 800 copies of this one, too-good job Twink isn't a household name.

    Thanks for the heads up about the 1999 Party. Its been out on cd for a while, but its a great album, recorded straight from the eye of the hurricane. Definitely a temptress on vinyl.
    The mono Saucerful of Secrets could be interesting, too. Especially as the mono version of Piper at the Gates of Dawn is so much better than the stereo release.

    I've just had a look at the RSD releases myself, and Gong Live at The Bataclan 1973 perfectly compliments the above two albums. Perfect soundtrack for floating in space.

    There's another one from Bob's place on Midnight Cafe that's really something if you're interested.
    3-17-75
    It's got the boys doing multiple versions of Music Never Stopped, Stronger Than Dirt & a bunch of jams. Also several versions of Low Down Payment & Homeward Through The Haze with David Crosby.
    Great stuff in really great quality. One of my favorites. A must have.
    Get some...
    EDIT~o.k. I just tried to look it up and can't find it. It might still be in there somewhere, I'm probably not using the correct search terms (I labeled mine as GD w/ D Crosby).
    If ya can't find it but want it, drop me a pm and we'll work it out.
    :O)

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.
