    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.

    Was listening to that one the other day Vguy. Bonecrushing Dark Star. Coulda sworn there were no vocals on The Eleven. Love the Scool Girl, though something drops out a few seconds in.

    I found an article that lists appearances of Tighten Up. It's in Vguy's 8/30/69 Dark Star....I will have to run that one back. Also appears on 1/2/70 Dark Star, so buckle your seat belts.

    When waiting is the hardest part....

    ....Eel River comes in March however. It's not as bad as it appears.
    ....Major Edit. Was listening to GD Fillmore East 2.11.69 just now. You know. The release with the Lil' Red Riding Hood wolf on the cover. There's a hidden Cosmic Charley after the late show end. Cuts out after three minutes. Never bothered to hang on that long after WBYG. Nice, yet abrupt.

    Next New "Scheduled" Announcement

    Since we already know what DaP 30 is.. the next new scheduled release announcement will be for Dave's Picks 31 in mid July for an 8/1 release date.

    Depressing when you look at it that way.. we do need a mini box announcement at the very least or we will have to finish the tunnel under the vault and stealthily remove the contents..

    We might have to organize a coup to free the Reels!

    May 77 Box

    Would love that Wilfredjones, great idea. The well is not dry yet. There is also a stellar 3 night run in March at Winterland. How about that idea?
    As we approach March 1 next week, it looks unlikely we will see a spring box sent this year.😫

    Makes sense to me. Palladium, New York City is a fine title to methinks.

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.
