I’ve recommended this show before, and you’ve heard it before, and there’s nothing new about 2/26/77 from the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino, CA: it’s just a spectacular piece of choogle.

It’s got the first this, and also a bust-out that; they also premiered the other thing, but did not play The Other One. Was 2/26 the best show played by the Dead in February of ’77? Probably! 50/50 shot, at least, and until the Betty (or any SBD, really) of the 2/27 surfaces, I will never be able to answer that question. Can I pat my head and rub my tummy at the same time? Yes, absolutely.

And while you’re listening, go read about Saddam Hussein’s daily routine. He liked to swim, and execute people.
