    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.

    More!

    Yeah, what the kid said. More releases. More eras!
    Like Kayak guy used to say, more series with different levels or tiers depending on quality etc.

    Jim, the set up

    With 2 announcements out of the way we’re perfectly set up for a February Box announcement.

    But seriously folks, we need an additional avenue of releases established. Something to fill in the gaps while we wait for the 4 yearly DaPs and occasional Box. Time to resurrect the From The Vault series and start throwing a few bones to SpaceBro, and the rest of us who want all eras released (as long as they sound good).

    Condolences Señor Bolo.
    May the Force be with you and your family.

    The problem with the subscription process...

    ….is that they pre-announce the releases for the first half of the year. So there will be no surprises until mid July.

    I would almost rather not know what the releases are going to be. Once that new box smell wears off and we get discs that don't skip, the adventure is 85% over.

    I guess it's a good opportunity to hit the archive.

    Happy weekend all..

    ....what comes around, goes around. Trade for all the Santa Barbara reels the following night? If so, you've peaked my interest.

    Thanks for posting that, it's the first time I've seen it. Very amusing....I guess the interview went something like this:

    Rhino: Can you draw skeletons?
    Artist: Yes

    Rhino: Hmmm. Okay we'll get back to you next week and let you know.

    Arist: I can make them Tie-dyed with Coat-tails and Top-hats if you want.

    Rhino: You're hired.

    Unless it was Samuel L Jackson conducting the interview, in which case the last line would have been: "well shit, mother f*****! That's all you had to say!"

    Bolo, hang in there buddy, my condolences.

    Hmmmm I guess you don't have to be a fanatic to make good art for fanatics:

    "Favorite Dead Era/Years:

    Hard to say but as an MTV kid it’s probably the 80’s.

    Desert Island Dead

    I’d probably grab one of their greatest of albums.

    Being A Dead Head Means…

    Being a skeleton and listening to cool music."

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.
