    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.

    Limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies, 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 Boards 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.

    Due May 5th, we anticipate that this revelatory boxed set will 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.

    Looking for something a little more byte-sized? The collection will also be available for HD digital download in FLAC and ALAC, exclusively at dead.net, on release day.

    Card charged already?
    Bought this with a visa gift card I got for christmas, when I look at the balance it's already been charged (154 to Warner Music Group). Anyone else have a charge on their cards for this yet? I only worry because the balance available after this transaction is less than the cost of another box set and wouldn't want to have a clerical or banking error cause me to miss out on the box if they were to try to charge it again at the time of shipping. If any of that makes any sense. Looked through the customer service page on here- says they don't accept Visa Gift Cards. Should I be worried? It already took the amount off my gift card. Wish the customer service line was open today... Thoughts?

    Listened to it on the drive back home today, and that show had stellar versions of a lot of great songs, Looks Like Rain was exceptionally good and fairly light on the histrionics. The exceptional sound quality of the tape helps for the quieter moments like the hauntingly beautiful China Doll after a blistering Eyes of the World. I skipped the weirdness jam after Here Comes Sunshine for the sake of my wife, having already subjected her to the entire show thus far, even the fairly out there Playing in the Band, but she loved the And We Bid You Goodnight. We followed up with some Jerry Band Live Vol 7 from 1976, she was not impressed by the Stir It Up, nor was I, a good indicator why it was so rarely played perhaps.

    Cornell overrated
    I can see that argument, especially as one of simple fatigue. Plus there were only so many people there that night, and so many people saw so many shows, including shows on that tour, but not Cornell, or saw shows that were released long before, and have Dick stating that they were far superior to Cornell. I think Dick was definitely in the fatigue category of fan, because he must've been plagued by that question from the start of his tenure. And that only got louder as the Bettys leaked out in the late 80s, where now everybody seemed to have a copy in pristine sound quality of a show that had been getting raves since it was played. For me, I got into the Dead just after high school, and the cd I got was Cornell set II. I had some Phish tapes and cds and some String Cheese, and some ABB. The only tape I had that sounded anywhere that good was the ABB opening set for 2/14/70, and that was because Bear taped it. Cornell blew me away with the extremely high quality recording. The mix is better than one finds on releases like At Fillmore East or Live at Leeds, and the playing was certainly at the same incredible level as The Who and Allmans at their respective peaks. I love how someone mentioned Cornell, and 77 overall, sounding dull and studio-like in its perfection. I get that the Dead most people by 1977 had seen were not anything like perfect, that their songs, while not really hot or miss, could have clunker versions from time to time. I find the near perfection of Cornell to be a stupendous feat. Especially now that I'm in a few bands, and knowing the challenge of nailing every part of every song as a unit, but also adding in the extreme improvisatory nature of the Dead, and you add in tightrope walking above sharks. There are still miscues in Cornell, even in Fire as Jerry forgets a line, and in St Stephen when Donna comes in a moment too soon, but in the grand scheme, this is a nearly perfect group-mind experiment. My favorite solo by Jerry ever is the Scarlet solo, he just nails every part of it with such gentle phrasing and fantastic dynamics, and it all culminates in the band hitting a crescendo perfectly together before he eases them back down into the Wind and the Willows play tea for two! If my first tape had been Veneta, I would probably say it's the greatest show they ever played and Cornell is second. As it is, I favor Cornell, even though it doesn't go as far out there, and Veneta has all time versions of Dark Star, China-Rider, Playing, GSET, Sing Me Back Home, and there's now a great dvd (except for pole guy), something in me just says that Cornell show is justifiably ranked as the pinnacle. It's definitely more accessible for a newbie than 30 minutes of acid-infused Dark Star from 8/27/72. As to there being now less than 500, I think that proves the point of this release as July 78 is still available, May 77 the first one took about 9 months to sell out if memory serves, and Spring 90 TOO sold out last fall. Also, I've had Bettys of the other shows in this box since 2000 or so, and they never sounded nearly as good as far as straight mix goes as Cornell, so I'm hoping that the fully Normanized versions will allow me to enjoy them as deeply as Cornell. I don't mean to say they sound bad by any means or that the shows aren't in the same league, but whoever mastered the Cornell disc I initially got, found a stupendous mix. When I got the rest of the show, it was Rob Eaton's BERTHA mix and it didn't sound as loud or full, and that's what I had for Boston and Buffalo, so come on May! I wish I could nap for a couple months and just wake up when they arrive...

    Great to see Mr. Pete on this or any thread.I always look forward to scrolling down and seeing his name with the arrow and then "aging hippie". Probably my favorite sign off. Mr. Pete into aging hippie then back into Mr. Pete. The only poster to perform the rare aging hippie sandwich. Hbob has a great sign off too with the "rock on' Only saw one post from him that didn't have it. He was in an argument with someone and left it off. Probably didn't want that person to rock on at that moment. Doc has a great sign-in with the "mornin' rockers!" Greeting. That should be trademarked. Vguy has a cool style with the dot, dot, dot to end his subject line and then again to start his comment. That is SO vguy and should also be trademarked. Wissinoming has an awesome sign off. Happy Sunday, Deadland! Always brings a smile. Moses Quasar always signs off with "take care, folks!" Awesome. Other random thoughts and nuances: JiminMD's always positive vibe. Always a pleasure to read. Keithfan's naming of the picks based on artwork (example: "skeleton skater") David Duryea's awesome avatar FloridaBobaloo's original handle is back and that's a great thing.

    A small sidebar with a misleading title. First.. great posts all day, I must say inspiring, educational fun reads and a common vibe between that cant help but bring a hopeful smile to the faces of all that read. I had a big, probably 150 year old Maple tree go in my front yard and I just got done dismantling it via chainsaw (always a little scary). Tragedy narrowly averted. I come in to read several great posts on a couple of these threads.. a few of you missing from some time. Then I turn on the TV to take a break and without changing the channel there is my alma matter, the Terrapin's playing the Badgers on the only real sport I care about, college basketball. Back to the riding mower Phish fan controversy.. agree, Senator.. Phish is a great band. The poser comment and the Phish reference was just a rouse to see if there were any Phish fans that overslept this morning. Clearly the riding mower tampering occurred late last night and we were looking for clues.. evidence of people out late last night and sleeping in today. I think we have the psysilo-flux capacitor just about fixed now.. so long as we don't use substandard fuel (seems to run best on liberty caps), time travel should be within our grasp.. I see by the post below (BMI Bullshit) that the Russian Hacking on this site is back. Stay away, Vlado.. we will not let you take back our Betty Boards! This is a fair warning.. Hands off our Betty's. And please don't click on that stupid link. Edit: Damned Badgers made sport of the peaceful turtles.

I have faithfully bought every damn release for decades now and when you finally offer the gold, you give us loyal fans the worst experience since that night on Southern Comfort and hash oil. So, with respect, stick your all time amazing 1977 box.

I wouldnt sweat it too much. Remember the initial surge for the E72 release did the same thing and that was for half the #. Even then it worked out and they were taking orders for at least a day or so afterward before it sold out. As for the #'s consider what they did for Veneta and it still isn't sold out. My guess is the 15k number is based pretty precisely on the sales data showing the true demand and that everyone who is paying attention over the next few days will get an order in. I suspect this will sell out by next week though.

Thanks Dead.netFor making what should have been a great and joyous experience and turning it into a agonizing, frustrating 3hrs and counting nightmare! Ive had bad trips that were better than this. One would think that with the amount of money these releases generate (2.1 Mil on this one alone) One would think that the online ordering would be a bit better. Next time release it on amazon! The Dead were always about changing things up and embracing new tech and innovation. Ive been through this several times and on other occasions placed orders and then received phone calls about how the ordering was all screwed up. I can forgive an occasional rocky release but every time starting with the Europe box set! Come On Man, make some new arrangements for online purchasing!

I have been trying on line and via telephone since I received the email (as obviously have a lot of actual individual fans seeking one set) This is clearly not working as it should and it will be a shame if the only way many of us loyalists could consider getting this is at drastically inflated resale prices -- not what I would expect many fans would appreciate or want to participate in

You guys sell records like dealers sell drugs : get it now, or it's gone ! And of course, once you have paid, the dealer doesn't show up. On 3 Dave's Picks releases I ordered I only got one about 2 months later. They had to send another disc for another release (took me 4 months to finally get it), and I finally got my money back for the third... I'm still waiting for Dave'sPicks vol. 21... By reading all these comments I'm not sure I'll drop 140 $ then pray for 3 months to get the records. If it's so complicated to ship a disc to France, then simply don't pretend you can.
