( GDP ) - Original First ( 1st ! ) Printing ( GDCD 4049 ) : Very-Rare !!!The MASSIVE !!! 1977 Dick's Picks 29 release of 5/19/77 ( Atlanta, GA ! ) & 5/21/77 ( Lakeland, FL ! ) - 6-CD Box Set - " Original " 1st ! GDCD Printing = AMAZING !!! - May 1977 !!!! Grateful Dead !!!!! Dead Fans !!! Here it is ... I mean hear " IT ! " is -- Dick Latvala's Brilliant-Installment ! of the 29 Volume Series " Dick's Picks ". And this one, as you may very well already know ... is sponsored by Travis Bean ! Ha !! Well, that's one way of putting it, and here's another ... Jerry Garcia !!!!! I've heard in the past that this one, for all the right reasons - is an overall " Fan Favorite " of this entire Dick's Picks Series, and I've also heard many fellow Dead Fans say that it's the " best of them all ", one-of their personal favorite(s), or even ' the ' favorite. I do know that when Volume 8 ( 5/2/70 ) was released, Dick referred to it as " The Show of All Shows ! " - and my assumption - though it's just my assumption, is that he must have felt the same way about this release - specifically with the 5/19 night in that ' conversation '. I'll openly admit that I'm a bit biased too on this one my fellow Fans, and here's why ... 5/19 Set II was specifically THE ! analog cassette tape that turned me into a Deadhead. I know, a pretty serious claim - right ? But yes I admit, it is true-fact. I had just got my hands on a small chunk of live G.D. analog when I was a kid - for the very 1st time ... and 5/19 Set II was in there, and because of that random occurrence - I'll be Grateful the rest of my life on this planet. Heck, I mean maybe it-was ' meant to be ' - I think so ... I was at Rehoboth Beach, DE sitting on an outside screened porch with my best childhood buddy, and we had a boom box, Dead Tapes, and a few beverages in toe. I remember this like it was yesterday ... naturally. And here's why - even though typed-characters don't even stand a chance, when it comes to talking about this Magical-one >>> I've got this tape still ! sitting here, next to me right now - and here's what it reads >>> Grateful Dead, Fox Theatre, Atlanta, GA, 5/19/77, II ..... ( A ) Samson, Ramble One, Estimated, Terrapin > Playin ( B ) Uncle John > Drums > Wheel > China Doll > Playin. Folks, I'll be blunt ... this Tape changed my entire life, and only in good ways ... in fact, Grate ! ways. I promptly got right On The Bus !! - and saw every single Live Dead Show ! that I could possibly make happen, all the way until to the very-end. This 5/19/77 Show is simply sheer Grateful Dead Magic !!! And of course, there is really no valid explanation as to how, where, or why this Show happened - to the Extreme ! Live-degree that it did. Sure, I mean look at this Donna-Dead unit when they were really " On " - look at the fact that the Grateful Dead were in their 12th year ( usually post-prime, for most bands ) - look at the fact that it's May 1977 on an apparent Red-Hot run - look at the Band's equipment - especially Garcia's curiosity & mastery ! of the MXR Distortion + pedal - look & listen to that Travis Bean, with an aluminum neck that really only the King of Rock 'n Roll himself could make ' stay ' in tune ! - look at any of the facts surrounding ... in Atlanta ? - I mean this 5/19/77 Show was just " Meant-To-Be " -- and that's the only way I can really analyze it when I try to look any deeper. This is just start to end magic from all of the things that make a Dead Show great ... timekeeping ( check ) - everyone's having a great time ( check ) - when Phil's On The Band's On ! ( check ) - Donna's vocal-deliver is pristine ( check ) - Bobby's rhythm playing is exceptional ( check ) - Keith's playing is insightful & pushing Jerry, while basically bringing him Joy ! - the Travis Bean artist Guitar in this Late-'70's Era - Mu-Tron / MXR / Mac / Fender-Twin / etc., etc., and last but not least - in fact, I'll just go ahead now and say it... Garcia !!!!!!! He's on beyond-complete-Fire! and his playing is just one big step forward for guitar playing live ... sheer Magic ! being created right before the Band, and before this very-fortunate Atlanta crowd's eyes. As it goes without saying, when I heard that this would be pro-released way back in 2003 - I felt it was one of the best days of my life ... well, actually when I got it, played it & listened with the headphones. That ! was the day. Both 5/19/77 & 5/21/77 are in this set, and as I'm sure you're well aware ... don't miss-out on Dick's Picks Volume 3 either, as it's truly the book-end of this set, falling on 5/22/77 in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Florida, you're lucky ... and must have been doing something right as Fans, for the Band to respond & deliver just like this !?!! And also too, as it completely goes without saying ... this might very-well be the Very Best ! " Dick's Picks " release of all of them - and yes, as I said - I am very biased. But it would be very-difficult to argue that it isn't at least a Top 3 or Top 5, no matter who you are. Enjoy it fellow Fans ... trust me, as it will come more naturally then ever - as this one can do it all on it's own. Dick's Picks # 29 ... truly an " Intergalactic G.D. Treasure ! ", as our fellow Dead Fan Mr. Bill Walton always likes to say ... Simply-Amazing Live ! & May 1977 !! Grateful Dead !!! Enjoy !!!!!!
