Limited Edition ' Individually-Numbered ' CD Set ( of # 20,000 ) : 1977 ' Prime-Era ! ' Grateful Dead !! - at the Swing ! ... on the California ! Burning-Shore !! Post-Hiatus " Prime-Era ! " 1977 ! Grateful Dead Live ... at the Swing ! in San Bernardino, California -- simply Breathtaking ! '77 Live-Dead !!! ... Featuring the Live ' Debuts ! ' of Both ! - " Estimated Prophet !! " ... & " Terrapin Station !!! ". With ' Terrapin ! ' called as the Show-Opener ! for this Magical ! Grateful Dead Show !! ... the Very-First ( 1st ! ) Dead Show - of 1977 !!!!! Deadheads !!! .... & '77 Dead Heads !! -- YES !!!!! As 2019 now officially marks the Year, in which ... 2/26/77 at the Swing !!! - has been pro-released straight from The Vault !! An event pretty much worthy of calendar type Annual-Holiday ! Celebration !! An event in which we all hoped for ( some in dire fashion ) for a various period of long-duration ... for the last 40+ years !! As I personally have been hoping for this one ( to sound ' like-this ! ' ) since the Late-'80's Era, when I first found it - or, you know ... it found me ! As this Show is without any shadow of a Deadhead doubt - a sheer " Life-Changer ! " - and that too is even applied directly in " '77 Dead ! " terms, where yeah ... Tons ! ( & Tons !! ) of direct-competition is present. So, at least for me - this release is a true ' Dream-Come-True ! ' for now well-over 30-Years ! I got this one in tape trading myself, way-early in the game for me ( like most Fans, or at least I'd assume ) - and it was upon a direct Taper recommendation too ( Rightfully ! ). Mine actually came ' from ' California ( via ' Snail-Mail ' - naturally ... ) - and it actually came from real-close to the Swing itself, just a fairly good stones through away from San Bernardino, California - somewhere on the Burning-Shore ! And ... with just the First ( 1st ! ) Dead-Debuts ! of both !! " Terrapin Station !!! " & " Estimated Prophet !!! " - it was a clear no-brainer to add, lay down on an XL-II-S - pop the tabs, spin the deck ... & Have At It ! - for Decades !! And ... my first memories stay the exact-same when hearing the " Pristine ! " sound-quality, as they were originally over 30-Years Ago ! - and, here's just what I thought then, and just what I'm ( still ! ) thinking now --- I mean ... Can you just even try to Imagine ! those ' Faces ' on the Crowd ! - inside the Swing !! -- when their Beloved-Band opens up This-Show ... with " TERRAPIN STATION ??!!! " -- I mean ... " And The-Whistle !! is Screaming !!! ... Terrapin !!!!! ". WOW !!!!!!! And yeah - let's not forget about the " Estimated Prophet !!! " either ... just 3-Songs later - in the 1st Set !! Jerry/Robert, Bob/John & Co. giving the Breathtaken ! Dead Fans !! - absolutely no-time to recover ! ... No-Mercy !! - Ha ! Though maybe not quite the same-degree, or same-league as the ' Faces ' just must have been - at say ... The Great American Music Hall ! - on 8/13/75 !!?!! ( which really, could truly be ' unmatched ' in the Mid-Late-'70's ' Post-Hiatus ' Era ) - but, it's just still gotta-be darn close ! Just put into serious perspective the degree of unexpected change the Dead Fans were dealing with in the Summer '75 through Spring '77 period & Era - which, in the long & short of it - is All ! truly " Prime-Era ! " Good Ol' New ! Grateful Dead !! And ... though putting this " Shocking ! " ( Pleasantly-Shocking !! ) '77 Swing Show up against the 8/13/75's of the Deadhead World - as far as Surprise ! & a new-look at the " Bag of Tricks ! " to come - we've just no choice but to Zone-In directly on " Terrapin Station !!! " right here & now ... as I'm going all the way here, and straight for the Deadhead~Heart ! -- as this tune was, is & will always be one-of ( if not ' the ' ) - " Finest !! " of all of the Garcia/Hunter compositions of All-Time ! I mean here is the ' Very-1st ! ' - and just look, feel & hear what this-one meant ! ... and then, the Band plays this Tune as a Live 2nd Set ' Staple ' close to ? ... I'd say like maybe something like - 325 More-Times ?!? ( give or take ) - from 1977 to 1995 !? It's the stand-alone Favorite ! Dead-Song of so incredibly-many Deadheads that I've personally encountered ( from pretty much ' Everywhere ' ) over the years & years. And, though it might not-quite have a technical ' Slipknot ! ' type run or rally on its inside, to put it at the top of the Dead Song Deck - as far as the ' technical ' aspect goes ... its chord changes & song writing are straight-up " Pure-Genius ! " - and, it's truly one of Jerry's go-to strengths that puts this extremely-complex song way over the top ... Jerry's an ' Emotional-Player ! ' - and where really is there a better time & place to channel a whole entire gamut of emotions - than during ... " Terrapin ! ". But, no worries here on either front - as there is a Smoker !! of a Slipknot ! inside this 2/26/77 Swing Show too - ( naturally, right ? ) - on a '77 Dead-Night like this one ! But, just in case you have any question if ' Terrapin ! ' itself aged well ' Live ' ?! in the next say 10, 12, 15 years Post-'77 Dead ... well, that's as easy as pie ... so, just make it real-simple on yourself -- & go straight-to 7/13/89 RFK !!! Where Garcia delivers ( & belts-out ! ) That-One ( Masterfully !! ) in a Rainy & Drenched ( way-drenched ... ) Football Stadium ! It was, is & always was ( & will always be ... ) such an incredibly ' Cornerstone ' piece to the entire Grateful Dead ' Live-Magic ! ' Puzzle - and here on 2/26/77 in California ! - the Ultra-Lucky Deadheads are treated to the Very-1st !! And, just as one might even well-expect - it sure is ' special ' - just like you would hope - when ' Terrapin Station ! ' is Born-Live ! " Estimated !! " then scores right-up on the Burning-Shore ! just 3-Songs later, with a Extra-Juicy ! Playin' > Wheel > Playin ' right around the corner ( still 1st Set ! ) - and it sure is " ON !! " from here-on ... Samson ! -- Help > Slip ! > Frankin's !! -- Eyes ! > Dancin' !! ... just another one of those " Inexplicably-Awesome ! " Live-Dead Nights !! - that here I am trying to shed a little-light on here well-over 40-years later ?!? - and like This-Show ! even needs any help from anyone. Truly one-of the Finest ! Dead Shows of all-of the 1977 Touring-Year ! - and also very-remarkably ... it's the Very-First !!! Simply-Amazing . . . Enjoy !!!!!
