WHAT DEAD HEADS HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT...

NEW HAVEN 5/5/77
"Here is a prime example of the saying ‘the whole is greater than the sum of the parts’ … It’s called synergy and the Dead wrote the book on it.”

BOSTON 5/7/77
“The music they laid down brought me places I had not been before.”

CORNELL 5/8/77
“...the single best rock performance anywhere, anytime, by anyone.”

“There was just some kind of magical connection this night between the band members and the band and the audience - some texture, or some type of cosmic or celestial force is in the room.”

"This show is, was, and always will be Mecca.”

BUFFALO 5/9/77
"...an awesome display of the Dead’s captivating power"

If you've been following this site for quite some time, then you will know we are often flush with hyperbole when it comes to our releases. We can't help it, really - for we, like you, are Grateful Dead fans above all else. Just like you, we've spent countless hours debating the merits of show over show, year over year. We've kept a watchful eye on your wish-lists and carefully considered how to make - excuse the cliché - your dreams come true. And once we've made our commitments, we are steadfast in our determination to conjure up those dreams fully-formed and nearly perfect. Sometimes these heights cannot be reached without physical and cosmic elements aligning, and that, dear friends, is why it has taken so long for us to bring you THE ONE and the epic shows that surrounded it. No need for even the slightest embellishment here, 5/8/77 Barton Hall, Cornell University: Ithaca, NY, has for decades, been THE resounding favorite; you've said it yourselves - the "holy grail" of Grateful Dead shows. Thanks to the passion and perseverance of Dead Heads like you, we are beyond pleased to finally be able to present this show and its brethren, the fabled four of Spring '77, in sonically pristine condition.

MAY 1977: GET SHOWN THE LIGHT is a collection of what is unanimously believed to be the most sought-after previously unreleased complete shows the Grateful Dead ever played. Collected, traded, and debated for decades, "the beloved Golden Trinity" of Boston, Ithaca, and Buffalo, along with their New Haven prelude, have inspired fans to "get on the bus," converted critics, and even garnered national attention (Cornell was added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry). But until now, you've never really heard them quite like this!

The Dead is in the details... how serendipitous is it that the notorious Betty Cantor-Jackson soundboard recordings were returned to the archive just in time for the 40th anniversaries of these shows? Lovingly sourced from these well-reputed recordings, we invite you to experience four utopian shows just like they happened, to "be inside the music" as engineer Betty Cantor-Jackson intended. Whether you listen to each night on its own or imbibe the whole lot at once, we suspect you'll hear why every note mattered. Much like we were, you will be hard-pressed to determine which of these fine documents - will it be the understated but nuanced New Haven, Boston's festive fantasy vibes, the monumental catharsis of Ithaca, or Buffalo’s dreamy exuberance - is truly "the best." Does it really matter? We think not.

Grateful Dead arrangement

Considering the band debuted the disco arrangement in June '76 (months before they entered the studio), they can hardly hide behind Keith Olson. I'll take Phil's term to mean they came to their senses for reasons similar to why those that once wore robin's egg blue, wide lapel tuxedos no longer do.

Re: Disco Dancin'...

You are on the right side of the numbers and statistics, Otis.. I did a statistically valid survey a couple years ago, Dancin' in the Streets the disco arrangement vs. the GD arrangement. Much to my dismay (I like the older arrangements) the disco format won hands down with a 0% margin of error. People seem to like the Cornel arrangement better and like all polls done here at dead.net, I believe in the results ;) That's when I realized.. I can't trust you folks.. you are clearly delusional as the standouts like 5/8/70 and 4/15/70 are real mind melters. Its really civil war stuff.. brothers will be fighting brothers, etc. I predict it will become the single dividing factor that leads to our next civil war. Victory is the only option.. Don't Tread on Me, old School Dancin' or die I say!

Maryland Dancin'

We'll all recall that Maryland sat out the Civil War after Mr. Lincoln declared martial law. So allegiances might need to remain divided, or at least officially undisclosed. As a native Marylander, I embody the struggle, having great love for old school as evidenced by 15 Apr 1970 alongside the exemplary disco accords of 11 May 1978 (and the aforementioned 8 May 1977). Despite these disparate factions of heart, pressed for a statement I'd have to stand with my compatriot Jim and the old schoolers. But my leanings, of course, are moot if martial law is declared. And I might wish it so, rather than taking arms against brothers.

@ Jim

I hope we can come to an understanding before that happens,... ...but it doesn't seem likely. I suppose we will have to see which side Maryland takes in with. As you know it is a heavily 70 Dancing state, especially in the western and eastern-most parts, but it has a responsibility to protect the Disco Dancing supporters in D.C. Disco Dancing in D.C. cannot fall! This could get ugly. :) Peace (Also, I noticed your sly "Disco arrangement vs. GD arrangement" comment. Thought you'd slide that one by us, did ya? They are BOTH GD arrangements, its just that the Disco one is better :)

Disco Dancin'...

...now, I know that around here, the Disco Dancin' gets little love, but the Cornell set I closer is one of the absolute best Dancin's the band ever played, IMO. To leave it off of a compilation is simply criminal ;) 16 minutes of mesmerizing disco HEAT! Peace

80s Fan, Dennis

80s Fan, That comp is almost exactly what I'd build. Except I'd try to include 5/08's Brown-Eyed Woman and a Lazy Lightning in there somewhere. Will everything on your disc 2 really fit on one disc? 5/07's third disc is now one of my canonical single discs of Dead music (joining the likes of Dick's 28 disc four, Dicks' 11 disc 3, Dave's 4 disc three, and many more...but an exclusive club nevertheless). Dennis, Don't remind me of that Further show ~ blew off Cuthbert that final year, and missed the Smokestack I'd always hoped for, among other goodies. But they sure delivered some treats the previous three Septembers. (One of those stands was Edgefield in Portland, but Cuthbert is a jewel. Willy at Cuthbert was really fun, too, a few years ago...LOTza cowboy hats trading heads that afternoon with the man himself :) Never knew that was a thing! Should've gotten on his wagon train a lot earlier than I did. simonrob, I'm still beyond jealous that you saw Kristofferson at Isle of Wight with his first-album band. (Yeah, and all those other acts.) Just caught him again last Fall. He is a balm for dark times.

The world's heaviest CD is also one of the cheapest!

Finally got my hands on #8040 today. For those who saw my earlier rant about customs etc., I can now explain the situation. There IS a customs declaration on the outside of the package and it IS filled in. The details have been printed, not filled in by hand, so one can assume that all internationally shipped packages have the same declaration. The details on the declaration are as follows: Detailed description of contents: CD Quantity: 1 Weight: 3lb 14oz Value (US$): 1.00 This would explain why punters in the UK for instance, have not had to pay any import duty etc. Unfortunately the customs here in Holland are not so gullible, hence their letter to me asking for details of the contents and what I paid for it, together with proof of payment. This resulted in 44 Euros of import duty and an extra delay in getting it to me. Anyway, I now have it and it looks very nice indeed. About half the CDs (yes there is more than one) were loose and a couple have some very small scratches on them or have light scuff-marks. Whilst acknowledging the ingenuity of the packaging, it would have been nice if just a little more thought had gone into the way the CDs are held in the folders. To stick two pieces of carton together and then expect a CD to slide into the non-existent space between them is to attempt to circumvent the laws of physics. For $139 that ain't gonna happen! Now I have a four day weekend ahead of me to read, listen and indulge myself. And the sun is shining - the weather forecast is for 30 degrees Celsius (that is 86 degrees Fahrenheit for those across the pond) on Saturday. Ain't life grand!

May '77

Love me May (and April and June) 77. Box set is awesome - think I like 05/09/77 the best. But I also think that 05/22/77 may be the best of the whole lot. TMNS endjam, the Sugaree, and that last unique segue jam of Estimated through Dew. All as good as ever played. I would love to see the full 05/22/77 released!!

Opening tour night for phish!

Opening tour night for phish! wooooo! i'm not going to any of it but...wooooo! lol

And they're marching

to Bastille Day If Alain reads this, Freedom! Cheers

If you are going to drive demand for Dave's Picks 2018

Subscriptions, what Betty Board would you announce as the first one of the year??? Swing Auditorium from 02-26-77 ?? Just curious... Have a good weekend.

Don't Mean A Thing..

If it ain't got The Swing. Couldn't agree more, Bob. But I suspect The Swing might be worth more as a chip to be cashed in at a later date. There are so many great shows in the cache.. you could almost throw a dart at the stack, call it Dave's Picks 23 and that would be enough to keep our interest. There is such a density of great shows and recordings in what was returned. Happy days.

Mean old Levee taught me to weep and moan

I store my Grateful Dead in multiple places on multiple mediums. First, my Samsung Galaxy Note 4, with 32 GB internal memory and 128 GB SD card. I put the officially released shows in chronological order, so 30 Trips Around The Sun 1965 is first in line; then 30 Trips 1967, Road Trips '68 and so on. I end at The Closing of Winterland. Next come the soundboards, also listed in chronological order. I have around 80 from 1969 - 1978. On my old cell phone, I store the 80s and 90s. Same deal, chronological order. I listen to my CDs a lot too. They're placed in generic white CD sleeves, because this is the only way to prevent scratches. I store them in 30 Trips Around The Sun boxes (5 in all). In one box I have E72 with other '72 stuff: Rockin' The Rhein, Hundred Year Hall, Steppin' Out, Sunshine Daydream, and Houston 11-18-1972, along with Fillmore West Complete and Fillmore East 2-11-69; Dick's Picks gets its own box; Winterland 1973, Winterland June 1977, May 1977, May 1977 TOO, and July 1978 get their own box; Road Trips and 30 Trips Around The Sun get a box mixed with the first half of the official multi-track shows (Live Dead, Skull F@#k, Ladies & Gentlemen, Cow Palace, Movie Soundtrack, Closing Of Winterland, etc); and Dave's Picks gets its own box, along with the remaining multi-track official releases. I keep the empty CD covers stored on the shelves of the entertainment center, along with the 30 Trips crates (each with a different side facing out, so you catch all of the artwork and everyone's name). All of the box sets are there as well, including the Europe '72 Steamer trunk with dual Fillmore West bookends. It seems a bit excessive now that I've written it all down....

Well said JiminMD

I would keep 06/22/73 PNE also saved in that same pile!!! I will be happy whatever Dave's 23 and 24 are!!

Betty's

3/24/73 (philly)6/14/76 (beacon) I'd love to see either (or both) released one of these days...

80sfan 6/14/76 Beacon Theatre

What a great High Time and Cosmic Charlie on that show along with everything else... I remember getting the tape back in 88!!! The whole show is great as well as the sound quality!!! Good call..

3/24/73

3/24/73 is no slouch either.. one of the highlights of the Spring tour. I wish I had Dave's job.

Opening night for the Phish tour....

....yea Kyle. I'm not going to any either (too far), but I'll be paying attention. Dead.net should take note on how Phish's online business model is set up. Sleek and smooth. Never read or heard of a phishhead complaining of the product they put out there. Me included....

a 1973 box set with Universal Amphitheatre shows

coming soon lol toss in 6.26.73 too "Playing in the Band" !!!!!

Stimulate 2018 subscription demand

Announce that the bonus disc will be CD4 of 6-10-73 to go with the other 3 CD's that will be DaP26. And yes, DaP 25 will be 6-14-76. DaP 23 is going to be 10-31-91....

Icecrmcnkd I hope you are right!!

What a great release that would be!!!

Aaaand DaP 24....

....will be Eugene 1.22.78. Jump in! The waters fine!....(or not). Release the hounds, and I'll tame them....an '89 show would be nice too. Cal Expo? Forum? Greek? I'll take them all....

Phish

Vguy the only complaint I have had was that the recent multi track digital only releases have distortion on em on due to maybe over mastering them. I bought the 96 and 99 archival shows and both suffer from it. the 96 show sounded ok when I burned a cd and put it in the car but when I listen to em on my earbuds they are kinda booming loud with distortion. we need Paul Languedoc back I miss him so much.

Question.....

Why didn't the DEAD ever play Japan?Seems like all their peers plus everybody & their friends played Japan through the years. I've always been curious.....

Re: Japan

"Why didn't the DEAD ever play Japan?" Japanese Customs (officials).

Re: Japan

Wish someone would have given Paul McCartney the heads up... “This stuff was too good to flush down the toilet, so I thought I’d take it with me." http://ultimateclassicrock.com/paul-mccartney-tokyo-bust/ What's with the idiot spammers? Brazen little bastards..

WTF is...

Smiling on a Cloudy Day? Rhino rerelease of early Dead remastered...just saw on iTunes, no mention here though? Any insight hippies?

McCartney in Japan

Did he really need a 1/2 pound?

Jim, spammers

It's Count Vlad's operatives, they're still trying to get back the rescued Betty's.

Yes..

They never give up.

Greek Theater Box Set???

I would like to see a Greek Theater box set. Mr. Pete--------> aging hippie

Dave's Picks

All of the Dave's Picks I have Heard are very good sound quality. I guess that some of that is due to new technology. I am glad that they keep releasing new old stock material. I wouldn't mind a new 1976 release like 6/24/76. I was at 6/22/76, and I got seats for the third row plus some orange blotter, a soda they used to make in Philly. The Tower Theater is a great place for a show, The Dead only played there once. They played 4 nights in a row. Just being able to see them so close was awesome. Sure, I would like 6/22 but 6/24 seems to be more popular. Have a Grate weekend!!

McCartney

I did not know McCartney was into pot that far along in his career. I am happy to hear he likes it. For some reason I got the impression he wasn't crazy about it after his experience with the Beatles. Download Seris 76 is great.

Smiling on a Cloudy Day

It's a Rhino compilation, 10 tracks from the first 3 LPs.

Paulie the pothead

When Heather Mills was taking lots of his cash in divorce she stated in court all Paul likes to do is smoke reefer at home. He has been a huge fan since Dylan first turned the Fabs on back in '65 or so. Dylan thought the refrain in I Want to Hold your Hand was "I get High!" The lyric is "I can't hide!"He's been in trouble for it many many times, but being Paul, it never is too big a deal.

CD storage

Thanks for all the comments on the CD storage! Lot of good ideas out there!Some of them are making me re-think my procedure.

Ween

Ween just tore through my state, headlining Red Rocks last Weds then tearing up the grand old Ogden Theater Thurs and Fri. I was second row, basically right behind my friend who was pressed against the stage, directly in front of Dean Ween the lead guitarist, for the first Ogden show. Not only was this concert a total blast, it showed how far they have come from a couple of idiots in their apartment making four-tracks to becoming a world-class five piece ensemble. If you're on here yakking about shit like how you store your cd's (no offense, I like to keep mine on the floor of my car) you've got some time on your hands. Get on youtube and check out some of the following: Piss Up a Rope Ocean Man Monique the Freak Gabrielle Bananas and Blow If they don't make you laugh, they'll make you smile. ;-p

Ween....

....you don't need to tell me. Finally saw them for the first time in Feb. Will go back....Voodoo Lady baby!!

One of my relatives lived off a rural road outside Tucson

Said McCartney owned a house further down the road for awhile. I suppose he used it to escape the dreary winters in England at times. Makes you wonder about the line - JoJo left his home in Tucson Arizona, for some California grass...

I heard McCartney's winter home....

....was half a mile from Tucson by the morning light....

LedDed

You couldn't be more correct about WEEN. They have indeed grown into themselves through the years and are fantastic fun.Get some... If you enjoy Zappa,it might be worth your time to check into Ween...just sayin'. :)

Daves 23

I myself could have sworn I heard Dave said he was wanting to start releasing the recently returned betty boards as well. I looked through that list last nite. I saw only one 79 show on the list. so cross your fingers '79 fans this might be your year.

Vguy

This one's for you... :)

Dave's job

That would be a great gig. We haven't heard from Dave in awhile. Dick Latvala probably did well too,He loved the Dead. I read an interview with Dick that a lot of the soundboards are on cassettes. Have a good day, everyone.

Morning Rockers!

Someone has to do it. I went with Dick's Picks 23 this morning. Just fabulous - never gets old. I'd forgotten how prominent Keith's piano is on this release. He's so fluid on Playing in the Band during this period. Trying to recall if all of the two-tracks from the latter half of '72 are like this. Europe '72 is real hit or miss with his presence in the mix. Not sure how that happened, given the fact that they're all sourced from multi-track masters, but it did. By '73 he's largely into the Fender Rhodes, which is also fantastic, but quite a different sensation than the grand piano. Perhaps I'll go on a 2nd half '72 binge. I wasn't heavy into the Dead when any of them were released, so I haven't studied any particular show from this period too heavily (like one would do when, say, there's a new Dave's Picks release; there's also the "don't wear out the novelty of these shows" aspect to it). As it's looking like a Summer / Fall box set isn't imminent, I should really just go mad with DP 11, 23, 36, DaP 11, and Sunshine Daydream. Plus some good soundboards. I could, in effect extend my PhD from Europe '72 to the entire year.

Voodoo lady....

....shaking that stick and driving me crazy. Awesome jrf. Thanks. Deaner shreds it....

Dween

Deaner sure as hell does shred it! Man, has he gotten to be a solid rock guitarist. He still plays that modded red Strat he's played forever. His amp is a no-name half stack with at least two channels. I think it might be a Van Halen 5150 head; I can't be sure, because whatever it is, he's had the nameplate removed. But it is an amazing rock tone, quite a bit of gain but not oversaturated and remarkably quiet and clean, unless he pushes it. When those guys started they were crap. They had all the wit and attitude but no chops; boy, has that changed. Aaron, er, Gene is one hell of a singer. He pulls off all those different voices live. Really, really good... Dean still looks the same. Gene looks 60. He's gained back a ton of weight (which, unlike Jerry, means he's sober) and his hair is completely white and nearly gone. He smoked a couple cigarettes on stage and though he did sip from a red Solo cup he didn't appear intoxicated. Dean constantly lit one Marlboro after another and smoked the shit out them between every song, leaving them burn in a big white ashtray atop his amp. He kept chugging from two red Solo cups that he wisely kept on the rug. I'm sure somebody, maybe him, once shorted out his amp head from a spilled drink. Fellas don't put liquids on your amp. Dean just reeked of rock-star cool. He looked like Keith Richards used to like he'd been up an extra day or two. He didn't talk much except to bark stuff at the audience once in awhile. The other thing was, most bands play on a nice big, cool-looking Persian rug. Ween played on a shitty piece of brown carpet that looked like it was torn out of a college apartment, all stained with bong water and beer. And most of them were barefoot on that nasty thing. How appropriate.

I freaking love YouTube sometimes....

....stumbled across this. https://youtu.be/Bp_LbYql79I ....enjoy. I sure as hell did....

6/28/76 Happiness is Drumming

How can you listen to this without smiling in amazement. Only time ever done and Fire on the Mountain genesis!!! About to listen to it again coming out of Eyes of the World!! I love the whole month of June 1976 just so unique!!! 6/29/76 my favorite especially the Mission in the Rain!!

If I Had the World To Give:

If I Had the World To Give: one under played song

palate cleanser...

get some... ;)

some for the time being....

Found this Bob Weir Campfire tour recording on the archive, official release from Nugs.tv. https://archive.org/details/bweir2016-10-16.bweir2016-10-16

Thanks for the link Vguy!

Great stuff, and Jerry looked good playing that 335!

The Mars Volta

Several years back a friend of mine introduced me to "Francis The Mute" for the first time and that album just blew my mind. Immediately hooked. Wish they would tour again. Palette cleanser indeed.

While we play the waiting game....

....those guys from Vermont broke out an epic 27 minute Simple in Chicago. https://youtu.be/KlcHi4c_22w ....if you're not interested, move along. If you are, check that sick shit out.... . .
