DP20 Announcement- Grateful Dead ~ Dick's Picks, Volume 20 (http://mars.dead.net/site/images/music/4040/) September 25, 1976 ~ Capital Centre / Landover, MD September 28, 1976 ~ Onondaga County War Memorial / Syracuse, NY The steady stream of musical riches from the Grateful Dead tape vault continues to flow with the release of Dick's Picks, Volume 20, a new four-CD set showcasing two memorable shows from the Dead's 1976 "comeback" tour, digitally recaptured in all their splendor from the original two-track soundboard recordings. After a 20-month hiatus from touring (during which they recorded "Blues For Allah" plus various solo projects, and gave four unannounced live performances in San Francisco), a revitalized Grateful Dead returned to the road with a vengeance in the late spring of 1976 and continued through to autumn, starting out with multi-night runs in small theaters and graduating to arenas and stadiums. The repertoire on the tour featured some material the band had seldom (or never) played live, plus revivals (and, in some cases, radical reworkings of) some old favorites. By the time they got to the Capital Centre near Washington, DC and, three nights later, the Onondaga County War Memorial in Syracuse, NY, the Dead, with some thirty shows under their belts, were playing with renewed confidence and fire, powered by the reunited percussion tandem of Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart, touring together for the first time since 1971. Dick's Picks 20 presents these two shows in their near-entirety (due to length and/or technical considerations, one song per show has been excised. Fortunately, these two songs were performed at both shows, so each is represented here). Among the highlights on the four discs are: an early live Dead performance of Bob Weir's "Lazy Lightning Supplication" medley (which Weir had premiered the previous year with his extra-curricular band, Kingfish); the Dead's twisted-disco rearrangement of the Motown classic "Dancing in the Streets," which segues into the band's last performance ever of "Cosmic Charlie" (an early-90s instrumental "tease" of the song by Jerry Garcia notwithstanding); an unusual coupling of "Let It Grow" and "Going Down The Road Feeling Bad"; and the epic, seamless second set from the Syracuse show, bookended by "Playing in the Band" and featuring, among other delights, a driving "Samson and Delilah," the gorgeous "Comes a Time," and a soaring "Eyes of the World."
