    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.

    Are currently on tour and why i was thinking about them.I've lobbied them enough over the years they now recognize me at the shows and i don't want to be a band stalker, so i now wait to let them talk to me if they want. very cool people and being smokers they have to use the same smoking area as the fans, so they are used to requests for signatures and having to chat with the fans. Starless box is also cool, Road to Red i like slightly better when they were working out the jam that became Asbury Park on the USA album. Obligatory GD content, this is the best summer SBD i've found searching through summer 1970.

I don't want to simply pile on a frustrating and deplorable situation. Like many others I've been trying for HOURS to get my pre-order in to no avail. I would only hope that somehow all those who have attempted purchase or have this item in their respective carts are not be left out. I think that's the least that should be done. What a shame to have this fixed only to come back in a day or two to find out you got shut out.

I'll also give up ... It's 1 am in Sweden and I have to get to work "tomorrow". Most of the time I'm thrown back to the shopping cart. Three or four times I have come as far as to fill in my name and address, my card number and everything. But when pressing the last button I get an error message or being sent back to the shopping cart. I'm too tired to spend the rest of the night trying to make a sucessful order. I've tried to order it throught Mozilla Firefox as well as Explorer but that was even worse than my Google browser, which is the one I have used most of the evening. Micke Östlund, Växjö, Sweden

I got to the checkout page twice, entered in my CC info, and then a little icon came up saying verifying billing adress, would then boot me back to shopping cart. That has happened twice to me. Called to only get disconnected after 16 mins, email them and they sent back saying sorry we are having issue check back later.

Yes. It seems some have been fortunate enough to break through. After over an hour and a half of nonstop clicking, I think I finally completed the order (I have a confirmation email anyway). This is painful, but can only suggest to keep trying until it says it's sold out. Some have had luck switching browsers. Good Luck To All!

I had the same thing happen with the DaP subscription. The only way I was ever able to order was to use my ipad. I called customer services earlier today when I placed my order. The guy asked what was wrong with the website. I told him the things that are now happening. He said, that they have been having issues with the site. They are aware, but that does not really help anybody. If for some reason, one of my failed orders come through. I will post. Not sure why they feel this is the best business model. But hey, I don't run the zoo. Best of luck everyone!!

They should shut the shit down and try again tomorrow rather than having people continue to seek the fn holy grail like this. This is more aggravating than buying tickets from live nation. I think it is crap how there you enter your address all on one line and the sever has all these addys stored and is crashing because the whole thing is stupid from the start. I think the dead should be giving a nice discount on this time waster. So so so so pissed

These guys are like, say hey lets sell you some music you might like. So now I will be up all night just trying to buy the music. I can not because you sell to dealers over me a fan. I have a EBAY account and know what this stuff can sell for. But for you, selling it to dealers on purpose makes you scum. Nobody should be able buy more than, lets me say 4 copys of a release. After that or even knowing that has happened you should see some flags. There are real DEAD HEADS out there that lived through this stuff for real. SHUTTING THEM OUT SHOULD BE A CRIME. As we know crimes are not justified all the time. I have spent the last 4 hours just trying to buy 1 box and 1 Album set. People who sell 10 to a person or buy 10 for a person mess this whole process up.

After 4.5 hours of clicking, reloading the webpage and getting through Checkout only to get booted back to the shopping cart numerous times, I finally made it all the way through and got my confirmation. So relieved. Keep trying, folks. It may be slow and tedious, but this box set is still available.
