MAGICAL, MYTHICAL MAY 1977!

If you're a Dead Head, chances are you've spent many an hour expounding upon the distinction of May 8, 1977, Cornell University, Barton Hall. Well, at the risk of preaching to the choir, we'd like to reintroduce you to a series of shows that matches said greatness from that same gloriously fertile season. While Barton Hall is well known, the astounding tour that surrounded it has occasionally flown under the radar due to the uneven quality of tapes in circulation. May 1977 is set to change all of that with a boxed set that zeroes in on this high-water mark in the Grateful Dead's long strange trip.

For a band resurrecting itself after a 20-month hiatus, there was a great frenzy of expectancy that surrounded the Spring of 1977. We anticipate a grand reoccurrence of this fervor with the release of May 1977, a 14-disc boxed set featuring five complete shows from consecutive stops on that magical tour. Mastered in HDCD by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering, the "psychoacoustic phenomena" as Jerry once put it, of St. Paul Civic Center Arena, St. Paul, MN (5/11) Auditorium Theatre, Chicago, IL (5/12, 5/13), St. Louis Arena, St. Louis MO (5/15) and Coliseum at the University Of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, AL (5/17) can now finally be appreciated. Each of these shows finds the Dead delivering punchier, more focused sets, tightening up the framework; each night turning out first-ever renditions ("Passenger,""Iko Iko,""Jack-A-Roe"), unloading potent new pairings ("Scarlet Begonias">"Fire On The Mountain", "Estimated Prophet">"Eyes Of The World"), classic covers ("Dancing In The Street") and soon-to-be staples ("Estimated Prophet," "Samson and Delilah"), and ultimately rising up to paradise.

And now for the nitty-gritty...

Due June 11, May 1977 is limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies. Presented in a psychedelic box that boasts an intricate die-cut design created by Grammy®-winning graphic artist Masaki Koike, the set also includes a book filled with stories about each show, as well as an in-depth essay by Dead historian Steve Silberman, who delves deep into the history behind the tour and the band’s return from its extended hiatus.

Once these 15,000 boxes are gone, May 1977 and its shows will never be available again on CD. However, the 111 tracks will be made available on release date as FLAC and Apple lossless full-set-only downloads for $99.98.

Like its predecessors Europe '72: The Complete Recordings and Spring 1990, we expect May 1977 to sell out. Your best bet is to pre-order it now, then sit back, relax, and enjoy all the exclusive content we'll be rolling out over the next few weeks right here and on Facebook.com/GratefulDead and Youtube.com/gratefuldead.

May 77 box/ recent artwork

I'm really happy about this upcoming box set. I've never been too keen on 1977 Dead but I'm learning to appreciate it more and more over time (using good headphones is a big help, too). I've got lots of 77 stuff going back to my tape trading days and also all the official 77 releases but don't think I've heard a single note of these shows(except maybe the "Fallout from the Philzone" Jack-a-Roe).Regarding the recent release's artwork, I sort of agree with Katapultable, that most have been pretty good. But I really think the "Dave's Picks" logo is too big and garish and shouldn't be on the front nohow. Let the front have only the artwork so it has a chance to breathe. Put the logo on the spine and you have a much handsomer product. The words "Grateful Dead" on the front are not bad, especially if artfully done. Those words have cachet out the ying-yang. But the words "Dave's Picks, Vol.**" are purely utilitarian and belong on the spine or back! I also wish there were some way that the artwork could be done by deadheads who truly love the music. Deadhead folk art. Lots of artistic Deadheads out there who would love the opportunity. I suspect lots of the artwork is done by corporate professionals who may or may not care about the music. I do really love the Europe 72 box artwork and also the Spring 90 box artwork, though. (art critic hat off) I also agree Dave's Picks 6 is one for the ages! Yes, it's a great time to be a Deadhead :)

artwork

I kind of like the artwork. The color palette of the boxes in the pic brings to mind my recollection of the late 70s before the 80s hit and the trippy images of the Dead over psychedelicy looking backgrounds that, at least in the "covershot" looks like they are floating in space fits ok into my Deadverse brain space. I suspect the imagery would be better explored on a double album sleeve that one were using for some cleaning projects but, well, ya know... I don't find myself as drawn to album art as much on CDs as I used to be with albums. I don't have that many DVDs either and can see how a CD collection might not fit these boxes but I usually roll w/ CDs in my car (DaP5 and 6 right now...) but use my iPods for the vast majority of listening. Sorting stuff, longer playlists (e.g. running music, chiilling music, I recently tossed the Dead into 60s Dead and 70s Dead taking a break from my favorite Dead and have been pleased to have a new view of it...) and convenience (I have docking stations all over house, work, etc., plus I like to run...25 minute Dark Star= 3 miles). I'm looking forward to the set. Listening to DaP 6 a lot in the 60s list w/ a bunch of other releases makes me anticipate that these will sound *really* amazing and a bunch of Jerry's autowah will make this summer a lot of fun.

We are the luckiest fans

There is no doubt that we are the luckiest fans in the world with reasonably priced releases 5-6 times a year. I just saw this article in Rolling Stone about the Rolling Stones releasing a $750+ box set from their 1973 tour... http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/rolling-stones-revisit-1973-with…

Artwork

Just to set the record straight, the artwork is not being done by "corporate professionals." Scott McDougall (Europe '72 box, Road Trips, Dave's Picks 2012) is a Seattle-based artist who was drawing concert posters in the '70s. Great guy - has Rick Griffin's old desk in his house. Timothy Truman (this year's Dave's Picks) has been doing stuff for the Dead for years - t-shirt designs, Grateful Dead Comix, almanac artwork, Deadopoly, etc. Also a great guy, a musician, comic book artist/writer. Can't speak for some of the others as I've not dealt with them, but these guys are the real deal: artists documenting meaningful (to us) musical history.

artwork/logos

Yeah claney, I remember now it was you who first pointed out here the problem with the huge logo on Dave's Picks. It really seems like it's in such obviously bad taste. Same for the Road Trips logo. People can say we're being picky, but look at the pride the Dead took in their own album artwork- at least through Shakedown Street.

Download Logo Box Size

LBC - In the blurb above it says only that the downloads will be available on the release date of June 11. Palmer - Fulll agreement on the DaP logo - I posted a while back about that logo being a challenge to the artists I would think. Rdevil - yes, looks like dVd size, bummer. But I figure it can sit alongside my Golden Rd and Beyond Descrption boxes...

am I the only one...

Okay, order placed (not an easy transaction to make right before Mother's Day) but this will undoubtedly be a great box. I'm excited, another great by Dave.Just wondering, am I the only one who is not impressed by the artwork and packaging of this box? It doesn't look very special to me but this is NOT a complaint. In fact if that helps keep the cost down then I'm all for it. I couldn't pull the trigger on the Spring 90 set because of the price. Would have got around to it eventually but it sold out. Haven't bought the Warlocks box yet either because I can't justify paying an extra $20 or so for a cigar box. I guess my point is it's all about the music and if we can get great sounding shows in packaging that protects the discs at a decent price, that's more important than buttons and tour programs. Maybe Dead.net could offer those extras separately for those who really want them. It looks like the discs in this box are in a DVD sized case which, I'd be willing to bet, is less than ideal for most of us who collect these things. I'd prefer to put these CDs in their proper chronological place in my collection but that's a minor complaint. Overall, this looks great, we're getting some fantastic music, complete shows from one of the best tours ever at a decent price per disc.

Nice looking presentation!

Wonder how they dealt with some issues on the masters like the cut in Wharf Rat on 5/11 and the 5/12 Playing in the Band. The circulating copy of 5/13 has sound issues at the end of the tape which may not have been on the master, but both David Gans and David Lemieux have said in the past that the 5/11 and 12 masters have those issues. Not that this will ruin it for me - just curious. Looking forward to another release!

So good

Thank you DL / Dead.net!

Looks awesome !

Just put my order in ..... the packaging looks fantastic. Pretty good value, even shipping to the UK.

Looks good!

I've mentioned this in the Dave's Picks thread, and I'll mention it again here... Dave and tptb have really stepped up the game with the box sets. Between this one from May '77, E72, Spring '90 and the Warlocks boxes, it's a great time to be a Deadhead! As much as I desire more love for '80s releases as individual Daves Picks, I have no comlpaints about this new box.

OK Dave...

you talked me into it...

Holy Crow

Well, this is a surprise - especially given the still-available Winterland '77 box set recorded only a couple of weeks later. I'm curious how the sound of these disks will compare to that of the June material. The performances are almost identical in overall quality/spunk, with quite a bit of overlap in terms of setlists.

May 77

The order is in! May 77 will be coming to Atlanta! The packaging on this box looks outstanding. I agree with SpaceBrother, they seem to step it up a notch year after year. Awesome! Thanks to everyone at Dead.net that make multiple releases and box sets available every year, the dream lives on!

Looks good

Wondering if there will be a bonus cd or some hidden tracks.The June 77 box set from winterland included Bonus CD: Chicago Auditorium Theater, May 12, 1977; Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo> Dancing In The Street Terrapin Station> Playing In The Band> Drums> Not Fade Away> Comes A Time> Playing In The Band Not sure if the June box advertised that or if it was a surprise ( I was surprised).. If you own June box you have will have some duplicates now released on the May 77 box per above.... wishful thinking for some bonus cd when my box arrives. Maybe 5/26. Or 5/8. This looks great and should be a lot of fun to listen too all summer long. Cheers.

hot diggety giggety dog!

every time i think i am done buying discs...the GD comes after me with temptations like this. I have 5/15 and 17 on tape, but haven't listened for a long time (my cassettes are a bit scattered). the other shows I haven't heard except for maybe on the GDHour. oh to be a millionaire.

Order placed

Order placed and confirmed. So none of the stress that I remember from the Europe 72 trunk ordering process where I just did not seem to get through (on January 19, 2011, if I remember correctly, it was a long night here in the Netherlands...). A few years before I ordered the FW69 10cd box rather relaxed, thinking "It may be overkill, but nice to have", only to find out it sold out before its official release date, never to appear in that form again (and btw, it's not overkill). Since that time I'm anxious not to miss official (limited) releases. Glad it worked out fine this time!

MAGICAL, MYTHICAL MAY 1977!

Very nice, THANKS Dave ! Looks like this one is back to a smaller size box set so it'll fit on a shelf with the others. No mention of a bonus CD, like Warlocks & Vault boxes. I guess we'll get a surprise bumper sticker

Great box set!

One of my favorite GD eras, great selection of shows. The $139.98 US Dollars seems good but does NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING. Add $11.95 USD as the lowest cost DOMESTIC shipping, the price is "jacked up" to $152. USD. ...I ordered a set, I sure will enjoy it! Thank you very much Dave Lemeiux and all at dead.net/Rhino Records!

I thought I could only eat just one...

I am rapidly developing a collecting sickness for this stuff!

Looks great

Ordered and looking forward to it...keep up the great new releases!

Looking Forward To This......

There'll be one on it's way to Dublin, Ireland as well. Looking forward to it.

I'm IN !!

I'll tell my wife to cancel any plans for the kids to get me a Fathers Day gift this year :-) LOV LOVE LOVE this period! Bonus Disc Cornell? I know ... I'm asking too much now... I'll stop! iGrateful (I really am...)

Nice, very very nice...

A problem-free, transparent and simple ordering process that went through quickly without a hitch. Praise is due here as there have been so many different problems in the past. $24.99 International shipping to the Netherlands is fair. 5 minutes after receiving my confirmation mail I received the announcement mail - oh ain't I just on the ball tonight. Coming hard on the heels of the wondrous "Dave's Picks 6" the standard is being set very high lately. I hope they manage to maintain this for the remainig "Dave's Picks" for this year. Now its time to calm down and watch Dave's Seaside Special.

Bonus material?

Is there any Bonus material considering this partially duplicates the Winterland 77 bonus disc? ( 5-12-77) Will the sound be noticeably better? ( The W77 Bonus disc sounds pretty good to me) Opps I see other posted the same

some of my fav shows

...from a peak time. Wore out my 5.13.77 cassettes have dls, but looking forward to the mastered cds. #jazzed

Dimensions of Box?

I was thinking this would be over 150.00 and just plain out of my range, but this price may sucker me in, comes to around 28 bucks a show. I'm not sure Weve, that it is really the same size as, say, the Winterland boxes. Anyone know the dimensions of the box? It actually looks like the box and individual show cases are more like DVD case dimensions (taller). Not a big deal, though I prefer the ones that can sit on the CD shelf with the other stuff... Packaging and everything about this looks amazing.. the only show I really thought I wanted was 5/17 but whoah is this tempting...

oh goodness gracious....

....another box set NOT to be missed. well, got my order in,..and will be eagerly waiting to hear some of the very VERY best of the good ole grateful dead.

Sweet!

Ordered - looks very nice!!

A bit of a disapointment

I have collected all of the box sets but think I'll pass on this one. Obviously Dave is found of Spring 1977. The first Dave's Pick was the 5/25/1977 show. However, not sure that May 1977 has been "under the radar" as Dave as noted. Dicks' Picks had 5/19 and 5/21; Dick's Picks #3 had 5/22; GD to Terrapin had the 5/28 show plus, like another person posted, a good bulk of the Chicago 5/12 show was on the bonus disc in the Winterland 1977 box set. Unless you were personally at these shows I don't see anything spectacular about these sets that differs from what was already released...

Thank you

Many many thanks. Always my favorite year.

I'm in!

There'll be another one to Spain too! This is my first GD box set and although I still haven't developed a proper fondness for 77 I'm sure I'll end up loving this year in the future. Just checked out the listening party and I'm amazed at the quality of the recordings, really clear and spaced instruments, I'm just loving it. A bit of a personal story here, this reminds me of the time I missed on the FW69 box set. I must have been like 20 years old when it was released and had never bought anything online so I was a bit dubious about spending that much money ... result: I missed the deadline so I couldn't get hold of it. Then, with Europe 72, I just wasn't checking dead.net that often (I was kind of disconnected from the world wide web at that time) and, consequently, missed it too. Well, now I think I've learned the lesson and one of these will make its way to Spain in June :)

Have to admit

All I really know of May 1977 is 5/8 and the official fourteen or fifteen discs worth of releases so far. And that has me convinced. I'm in.

Box

Wow, that looks beautiful.

Industry Standard

Now that concert releases are en vogue, I am buying more music than ever (Allman Bros/The Doors/Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna/Janis/Country Joe/The Byrds), but nothing rivals the comprehensive quality of DaPs and the recent history of GD box sets (audio quality to liner notes). Now if CSN (and Y) would just contract Rhino and open up their achive... Additionally, a strong '78 show - something on par with 5/14 (if you haven't heard it, find the awesome SBD - definitely one of my 20 desert island picks) - would cap a remarkable run of releases from the band's strongest years and put me in an amenable mood for an 80s installment. Thanks GD Productions, Rhino, Dave, and deadnet for the continued brilliant work! Peace/Katie P.S.: Whether the bumper sticker is an intended accessory to the box or not, pls. print a batch for separate sale in the store!

Yess, Yess, Yess!

Thank you to all involved. Can't wait to see & hear this gem. It is indeed a great time to be a Deadhead :) <3

Can't wait!!

This looks great. Love these Box Sets. I have the 5/13 Chicago show already. They must have cut out the "dead air" in between songs in the first set. Song times on my version are much longer.

The Wheel is turning..........

This looks great, sweet price too. Already placed my order, it will sale out soon enough. Coming on the heels of DP6 which is awesome, the Bonus CD is simply amazing. Thanks to all involved in bring this out to the Deadheads of the world. Keep it coming!

Wondering about those four shows

Dave Any chance you could enlighten us as to the history of those missing tapes (Buffalo, Cornell, New Haven etc)? I'm sure others have heard the story before, but I've always wondered what happened to them? Thanks!

it took me...

...a grand total of 45 seconds to order this. Just about as fast as I could type. 5-13-77 was always one of my favorite tapes, especially set 1.

What a pleasant coincidence

I was listening this morning to 5/9/77 from War Memorial , Buffalo , one of my favourite GD shows of the 70s, and I was thinking to myself how great the band sounded during that tour and how many great shows they did in a row. Tonight I check the mail and find this...unbelievable. Thanks Dave (and all the people at dead.net) you did it again, what a faboulous pick! I had just received DP vol.6 and l didn't have the time to listen to it yet, but let me tell you that you haven't missed a beat lately. You put out the wonderful DP vol 5 from 11/17/73 Pauley Pavillion which is, hands down, in my top five ever. My favourite era being the fall / winter of 73 followed by winter /spring 69/70, spring 77 and june '76. Yeah I know I'm a little biased on the 70s but it seems I got "reasons of plenty" for that. And I'm , definitely, in good company. Peace & cheers from Italy.

May 1977***

Order placed. I really like way these box sets coming out. 1977 was a great year musically for the band. Estimated Prophet was the bands new psychedelic lightningbolt tune right to head. "California, Ill be knocking on the golden door, Like an angel, standing in a shaft of light, rising up to paradise, I know im gonna shine" Along with all the other great first year renditions for 77'. God I miss this band. Thanks again for this great box set. Craig

LOVE IT

Placed my order, Can't wait....................Keep the physical CD and DVD releases coming!! Chuck

How fast will this one sell out?????

Do you think I could wait a couple of weeks before pre ordering or will it be too late??????? Funds are tight this week. How fast did the other limited editions sell out? The Furthur Capitol shows and summer shows announcement cost me. . . ..

Courious

Was wondering if 5-12 was a Soundboard source. I only have an Aud. form that Chicago night? This would REALLY be sweet to own then!

How fast will it sell?

Deadegad, no one knows. But the Europe set sold out in a couple of days! I missed it. I didn't make the mistake of waiting for this one.

addictive as crack.

i can't believe i bought this box set. its not like i need more '70s dead. at least the setlists look great. i sort of feel bad for all those heads who overpaid for the "winterland june '77" bonus disc. sold mine for $85. that poor guy is probably kicking himself. ----

Hot Damn

I love Betty Boards!

Thank you.....May I have another!!!!

Grateful to have a show from Chi Town performed on my Birthday. Hey, I was only 9 years old on May 12, 1977, but I already had an understanding for how to shake my bones to the beat of the music. "In another times forgotten space," but the music not fade away. Thank you, David!

Oh Yeah!

Awesome Mr. L 2013 is really shaping up. Sometime in the future we'll discuss the Palladium 77 Box Set Oh Yeah!

Bring it on!!

Just placed my order. Tuscaloosa. Whoo-hoo! My DP6 should be on my doorstep when is get home tonight. As a lot of people have already said, this year is a good year to be a Deadhead. And it's only May!

cover art

can we please get some more images of this box set? ----

1977

I got on the bus late, in the early early ninties, I have gone through several phases and in 1977 your always in heaven. I know some folks swear by 73, i have my 80's bud's (who doesnt love brent and jerry singining in harmony), somtimes you have to go back to the roots and rap with the pig and tell it like it is, but 77 really is some of the cleanest best dead ever and it always has you sitting thier going wow....when/where is this show from again.....? I was playing DP 15 at one of the red rocks furthur shows a couple of years back and had a huge party gather aournd our truck, it was awesome. Thanks DAVE JD

How fast will the box go...

Europe '72 sold out (7200 copies) in four days- $450. Spring of '90 (9000 copies) took about a month- $200. There's 15,000 of this set of magnificence- $139. While there's "more" available, it's also more affordable. But then again, so was Spring of '90, relative to Europe '72. Also, these shows are available for purchase as downloads. 1977 is a very popular year. Still should be able to wait a week (or two) and buy it then, if budget allows. But if it sells out in two days, then Wow.
