    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.

    S>F download
    Finally listened to the scarlet>fire download that came with the purchase. It sounds amazing and i'm so excited for the full release. One very pleasant surprise...on the tape i had all these years, there is a woman in the crowd who quickly screams for a sec just as Jerry finishes the line: As i picked up my matches, and was closing the door (1:41 mark). I'm happy to say that this mystery woman's scream of delight was not cleaned up or edited out of the official release. It's the little things...

    We need more Brent shows
    I'm ecstatic about the early May 77 box set and placed my order before they broke the internet the other day, but what I really yearn for these days are more releases with Brent and Jerry with his newly defined sound in the early 90s. I hope Dave finds a nice gem to release for DP 24 or beyond.

    Non-Dead Betty's, Live 'Blows Against the Empire'
    mbarilla, ah, maybe it is 2/27 and not 5/4 as I feared (as the other missing show). In addition to the exciting Dead release possibilities this opens (the BCT 72 run!, Swing!, 10/29/77!) and on and on, does anyone know if the returned Betty's include non-Dead stuff? There's some mouthwatering JG shows with Nicky Hopkins that would be sweet. And some really odd stuff which I'd love to hear - this one jumped out at me: Jefferson Starship 11.24.74 Winterland, whole show (with entire Blows Against the Empire suite) Hell yeah to that one...

    Is an HDCD deck worth it for these?
    Has anyone here done A/B tests of Dead HDCDs between decks that decode HDCD and decks that just play them as CDs? I'm pretty happy playing Dead HDCDs on a Onkyo C-7030 deck, but it doesn't claim to know anything about HDCD decoding. The decks that do claim to do HDCD, by the likes of Oppo and Emotiva, are priced at $500 and up. From reading up on it, HDCD provides a menu of options for the sound engineer, not all of which are always used. Seems like the main loss in playing them as CDs would be in flattened peaks. And that they should have increased resolution in quieter passages no matter what they're played on. The Dead have a lot of quieter passages, and they do sound good on my current system. On the loud passages, am I missing something? I generally hate the compression of, say FM radio, but I'm not feeling like the reported compression artifact of playing HDCD as CD is in that range of obvious annoyance. Still, would the sound just open up in an obvious way with the right deck?

    Mr. Jack Straw, 30 trips selections
    for some years they went with the A plus banger, for others they went with B+ bangers, there was a strategy with all factors considered. Song selection was a major, as well as performance. SQ took third. And taking into account what they wanted to do with other series/box sets was major in selection process. One example is 1977, 4.25.77 or 5.26.77 ? could have went with either, but I was always under the impression 5.26.77 will be selected as a stand alone release. Both excellent shows but is either A+ ? Example from 1967, 11.10.67 or 10.22.67 ? both killer but i am under the impression the 10.22.67 will be released as studio remaster bonus disc, similar to new ly released 7.29.66 with GD debut album. Its only one disc compared to the two from 11.10.67. No doubt that 11.10.67 is one of the finest to be ever released and near the top of 30 trips selections with all factors considered for 70's shows they could have filled the set with all A+ bangers and used some of these betty boards. I am pretty sure they have had access to these for a good amount of time, like before even before May 2015. I also mentioned recently that the 2016 Dave's Picks selections could have been in the 30 trips - 1974, 1976, 1970, 1981 other selection factor, some shows build off each other because of song selection. "Viola Lee Blues" is the first example 1966-67, but it really picks up in the 80's some of these similarities were stand out moments from each show, but its really all good to me 80-81 "Feel Like A Stranger" 81-82 "Truckin" 82-83 "Scarlet Fire" "UJB" 83-84 "Playin"->"UJB" 84-85 Couldnt really find much similarity with the shows 85-86 "They Love Each Other" 86-87 "They Love Each Other" "Man Smart Woman Smarter" 87-88 "Hell in a Bucket"-> "Sugaree" "Walkin Blues" "Bird Song" "Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad" to be fair a lot of the shows from the 70's had just as many SQ issues as 80's , the big difference and reason 70s era does not stick out like sore thumb in some of the cases is the method and materials to how they were recorded. I said at the time if some of these were stand alone releases no matter which year or era, some fans would be complaining, because they have cuts, patches, dropouts, but since it was lumped together its almost an afterthought for some shows. But the 80s shows took a lot of the hits , as usual also some of these shows would not have been released in my opinion without this 30 show set. And I am not strictly talking about 80s / 90s either way Rhinos keep the Grateful Dead releases coming, I can find something to like from any show

    Why 15,000
    hey Mr7171551, I hear ya about getting older. If they release these for 20 years (I sure hope physical media will still be around that long), I'll be 67 when they're done. And then lots to listen to in retirement :) As for why only 15,000 copies - my 2 cents is that it makes perfect sense. It's fairly hardcore Deadheads who want the other three shows in the box, even though I think most of us agree they're all on par with Cornell (and my favorite of all four shows is actually 5/9/77 not least because of that Help>Slip>Franklin's). Anyway, the 50,000 worldwide will be true for Cornell because, right or wrong, even casual fans, not to mention fans of "jambands" - have heard of Cornell. Not so much New Haven, alas. Having said that, I surely was alarmed that the box could sell out before I got my order past the electronic bugbears. PS - Keithfan, I like "May 1977 TOO (The Old One)" - nice.

    Well, now I just need to stay alive for the next,how did Dave put it?-5/10/20 years!!!! Ha, bloody, Ha. Need to move those Betty boards a bit faster before us older Deadheads just up and become members of The Grateful Dead ourselves. Just saying.P.s the Berkeley Theater 1972 box set- Can I pre-order it now? I'm getting too old for another Thursday debacle. I live in the UK and ended up getting up at 5am Friday(our time) to try and complete the bloody order. Now that Warner Elektra are taking my money, you'd a thought a big company like that would have been able to handle the release. Also, why limit the box set to 15,000? I'm certain you could easily sell 50,000 around the world.

    Box Sets
    Yeah, good point Mr. Jack Straw, about the Bettys. Did they ever say how many shows were recovered? I'm with you guys on the box sets - it's not so much that I care if they release 80s, I just don't want it to be at the expense of having to wait for the good stuff, like the '76 tapes, Port Chester, Fillmore East, Summer / Fall '72, mid-1973, Winterland '74, etc. But I don't believe Rhino is about to go experimenting at this point. I think they released the runs of 80s / 90s shows they thought were marketable, and are focused on the best stuff left in the Vault now. If there were to be a later era box, I think the Vince years are preferable, with no MIDI, if that was even going on during his tenure. I just dig his keyboard style more, and I'm back into enjoying the harmony vocals again. Syracuse 78 - lol, you said it man, exactly what I was thinking when I had my own ordering issues - when have they ever handled volume well. And part of it, no doubt, is what someone else mentioned already - the problem was exacerbated by all of the double / triple / quadruple clicking. Well at least it was cleared up and everyone who wants one can get one.

A few days ago Bolo24 posted a link to an excerpt of this show, specifically highlighting the NFA-Black Peter-NFA. https://archive.org/details/gd1977-10-06.113809.kbfh.fm.tamarkin.flac24… This source was originally broadcast on the King Biscuit Flour Hour. I've known of this broadcast on KBFH for a long long time. Have I ever listened to it? Hard to say. This afternoon it sounded fresh. The Not Fade Away may well be the craziest-omfg version I've ever heard. Drops into gorgeous Black Peter. Wild NFA reprise. Great Around and Around. Be sure to stay for the Terrapin. I looked a little deeper and there appears to be some mystery regarding this show. On archive no legit complete SBD and no audience source period. Tape clearly reveals Terrapin is an encore; I don't see Terrapin on any posted set list. The listed encore is Uncle John's, including on deadnet. Is the Uncle John's listing a mistake and Terrapin is the real encore? Is Terrapin the secret second encore? Is it from another show? Also - did KBFH source a Betty Board for this broadcast? Were they using the master? Did they not return it and that's why there's no circulating whole show SBD? Or could this be one of the missing Bettys recently returned? Has it been in the vault all along? A lot of questions .... Thanks in advance to our resident scholars for any answers. If I've overlooked the obvious, forgive me. Fall 77 was one hell of a tour. Thanks Bolo!!

Can't say I'm surprised about that.. There's a bit of a history regarding the FM broadcast shows and what other recordings exist. I will look and see what I can dig up. That's a Bolo post that slipped by me. I will be sure not to make that mistake again. My life might just depend on it.

DECD291. Over the years since the release of "Fillmore West 1969 The Complete Recordings" there have been clamorings of it's re-release. The best time for this box's re-release should be in 2019, when this run marks it's 50th anniversary. But I think there is a very slim chance for that to happen. Perhaps a re-release of the 3 disc distillation CD set would be more appropriate. Or as bonus tracks on the 50th of Aoxomoxoa. Hey. it's one of my favorites.

I queued up DP 33 night 2 last night, after your recommendation on Dancin' => Wharf Rathe => Dancin'. You're right about that one, especially the last 4 minutes of Dancin' part I. There's a great passage there, headed into Wharf Rat. I did all of 2/28/69 yesterday as well. And I'm driving in now with 3/1/69 at incredible volume. If I weren't driving, I'd attach the Chevy Chase link :D

I've been trying to find the E72 books that came with the Complete Recordings Steamer Trunk. I missed out on the original 7200 units, and ended up buying the shows one at a time (this was AWESOME; it was like getting a new Dave's Pick or two a week). Then last year I picked up a Steamer Truck, but no books. So, if anyone is looking for extra cash, or wants to trade for my numbered May 1977: Get Shown The Light Box Set, PM me. I'm interested in both books. That jelly-roll drivin' me mad. Would love to hear Pigpen sing Dupree.

Blue Crow - 10-6-77 - I have both the King Biscuit and the "whole show"(?). I checked the dead base book and I what appears to be the whole show, but NO Terrapin. There is no Terrapin listed in Deadbase. But it is on my King Biscuit show. Maybe it was filler on the King Biscuit hour? Both my copies are good sound. Jim in MD - Egging Phil on,,,, guilty! We saw them once in the eighties when phil brought Box of Rain back. We brought a inflateable rabbit with "BOX" and "Let Phil Sing" and threw it forward. The crowd carried it to the stage and Phil sang Box! 2-27-77 - I have a very good recording and Scarlet is a ++.

I was just wondering if there could ever be an "all music edition" of the May 1977 Box. I missed the boat on that one and would really like to have it. I imagine it sounds really really good. Dave if you read this, what do you say? Entertain the idea? Who should I try to convince?

For those deadheads planning on attending the High Times Cannabis Cup in Las Vegas this weekend a word of warning. https://www.cannabiscup.com/las-vegas/#latest-news- IMPORTANT NOTE TO LAS VEGAS CANNABIS CUP VENDORS AND ATTENDEES Since our founding in 1974, HIGH TIMES has been deeply committed to creating safe, law-abiding events that allow the cannabis community to peacefully assemble and collectively celebrate the freedoms we've won through the national marijuana legalization movement. After direct consultation with local and state authorities, HIGH TIMES, along with our partner Ultra Health, was confident we would have an event that was a safe celebration of cannabis within Nevada’s medical cannabis statutes. We have been in regular consultation with Nevada Medical Marijuana Establishments (MMEs), the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH), which oversees NV MMEs, and the Department of Taxation, and we have been very clear that we have always been prepared to host a compliant event. HIGH TIMES thanks the Nevada Department of Public Behavior & Health and the Nevada Department of Taxation for their open correspondence and cooperation in allowing us to have our event within the confines of Nevada law. Additionally, the HIGH TIMES U.S. Cannabis Cup Las Vegas is fully compliant with Moapa Tribal Law. But now federal authorities have intervened directly with our host venue, the land of the Moapa Band of Paiutes. Subsequently, we've been informed that our upcoming Cannabis Cup event in Nevada ‪on March 4-5 can proceed as planned, but vendors, guests, performers and attendees are advised to comply with applicable law concerning the distribution of cannabis in any amount at the event. In order for the cannabis industry to continue to earn legitimacy and social acceptance, we understand that rules and laws need to be abided.

There's good reason why the Dead chose University of California Santa Cruz rather than Liberty University to house their archive.

tree pollen, I guess. Anti-histamine says not to take with alcohol, but I just had 2 bottles of wine. Do you think I'll be OK?

"If you are the dealer, I'm out of the gameIf you are the healer, it means I'm broken and lame If thine is the glory then mine must be the shame You want it darker We kill the flame "Magnified, sanctified, be thy holy name Vilified, crucified, in the human frame A million candles burning for the help that never came You want it darker "Hineni, hineni I'm ready, my lord" Holy crap, almost 50 years from when Suzanne took you down to her place near the river sure made quite a difference, I guess, huh...

I've seen you change the water into wine I've seen you change it back to water, too I sit at your table every night I try but I just don't get high with you I wish there was a treaty we could sign I do not care who takes this bloody hill I'm angry and I'm tired all the time I wish there was a treaty, I wish there was a treaty Between your love and mine Ah, they're dancing in the street — it's Jubilee We sold ourselves for love but now we're free I'm so sorry for that ghost I made you be Only one of us was real and that was me.

Grateful DeadMarch 2, 1969 Fillmore West San Francisco, CA., USA SET 1: Dark Star> St. Stephen> The Eleven> Turn On Your Lovelight SET 2: Doin' That Rag That's It For The Other One> -Cryptical Envelopment -Drums -The Other One -Cryptical Envelopment Death Don't Have No Mercy Morning Dew Alligator> Drums> Jam> Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks> Feedback> And We Bid You Goodnight. An amazing four night run that resulted in segments of the Live/Dead album. This box set will probably never get re-released. Next hope for a box release from this period is the Ark Boston run of April 21, 22, 23, 1969.

Trying to crack the mystery of what Bolo24 posted about 10-6-77. I take it as a possible future Dave's Pick, perhaps it will be the contents of Dave's Picks 23 or 24, who knows, but I'll happy if it is. I remember this show from the KBFH broadcast on WNEW-FM. Band: Grateful Dead Venue: Activity Center - Arizona State University Location: Tempe, AZ Date: 10/6/77 - Thursday SET 1: The Promised Land Tennessee Jed Jack Straw Dire Wolf Looks Like Rain Loser New Minglewood Blues They Love Each Other The Music Never Stopped SET 2: Bertha> Good Lovin' Friend Of The Devil Estimated Prophet> Eyes Of The World> Drums> Not Fade Away> Black Peter> Not Fade Away> Around And Around ENCORE: Encore Uncle John's Band via deadlistsDOTcom

When Go To Nausau was released I was very pleasantly surprised to learn/hear that it was a multi-track recording. I learned later that it was on multi-track because King Biscuit recorded it that way for their broadcast. I immediately began hoping that 7/18/76 was also on multi-track because it is an old favorite of mine and I knew it was a King Biscuit broadcast. Dave confirmed this in the DaP 18 release video. I therefore tend to believe that all the King Biscuit shows are on multi-track which would include 10-6-77. I think that if it is in fact on multi-track that it will someday be released. I think that would be the only 77 show on multi-track. One could argue, however, that Betty's mixes are so sweet that multi-track capabilities are superfluous for 77 shows!

They put up the version from the forthcoming Garcia Live Vol. 8 on Youtube today, and man......epic. When people hear the version of Deal from this show for the 1st time, it will be a semi-religious out-of-body experience. The most rockin' version to see official release to date.

I'm looking forward to it too.. too bad more of these later day shows are not on Video. I was watching the 1990 Shoreline a couple nights ago and it was so enjoyable.. brought back good JGB memories. The Dear Prudence from that show, in particular, was amazing.. but I am partial to that tune.

Thumbs up on Melvin's Band. I'm not sure if I have seen this iteration or not, but I don't think its too far off on personnel from when I last saw them a few years back. I enjoyed it a lot.. if he came anywhere close to me, I'd jump on it too. When Melvin really gets into it.. its a powerful force.. great guitarist too, but not Jerry. Like I said, I had a very good time.. brought back a lot of memories.

One Jerry Garcia Band show I'd like to see get officially released is: 11/23/77 Palace Theater, Waterbury, CT. Fast foward this date 14 years and you get the current GarciaLive Vol. 8 release. Anyway, I have an old audience tape (on cassette tape) originally recorded by Jerry Moore and it'a a *few* generations distant from his master recording, to say the least. I finally tracked down jgb77-11-23.aud.moore.16204.shnf and it sounds very good for the probable original Moore recording. It's missing the encore of Lonesome And A Long Way From Home. My cassette adds a note that Not Fade Away was also played at this show as an encore. I really can't remember too much from this show, other than my ticket stub. Anyone else care to see Jerry Garcia Band 11/23/77 get released in it's entirety?

Just wanted to touch on the parents and the Dead connection. About three years back, I was rehabbing my kitchen (tearing down walls and ripping up tiles.. all fun stuff) and my dad was helping with the project. He wasn't a construction guy by trade, but he was always willing to lend a hand with whatever project I decided to get into- he's a good man, my dad. Anyway, I put on DP 29 because it was a nice long listen (2 shows) and by the time we got to Row Jimmy (5/29)- he asked, "Who is this? Is this the Grateful Dead?" I said "Yeah. They're good, right." Without even looking up from prying up a floorboard, he said, "Always were." I looked at him and laughed and shook my head. He never played a Dead record that I could remember, and I'm not sure how much he ever listened to them, but he knew some great music when he heard it. We listened to that whole pick, and then I dropped DP 36 on him, and he loved fall '72 as well. I always think of that time whenever I put on either of those shows. I'm lucky enough to still have my Dad and Mom around- I think I'll have to send a few shows or compilations there way- really turn em on! Favorite '77 show- I think JimMD said this, but- the last one I listened too. (Although 5/29 does get a nod just because of my dad). Happy Friday to all you wonderful heads. Enjoy the weekend. My wife and kids are away, so I'm about to crack a nice frosty IPA, fire up some nice greenery and settle in with Dave's 21- nice and loud. Maybe sneak in a '77 or that 6/17/91 that Sixtus put out there- either way, life is grand, and I'm grateful!!!

Turning Dad onto the Dead. I am working on my mom, personally. Love my dad.. but Moms are moms.. Give me some time on this.. I have been working on them for almost 40 years.. it would have been easier if it were not for my older brother. He liked to play Jimi Hendrix very loud while smoking dope in the basement and drinking beer with his friends. ..that rat bastard.. made it much harder for me to freak freely without getting called out and having your friends parents called by phone late night. Love my brother too, and my dad.. more on that later, but back to my point.. great thread here, so much to comment on.. but I'm pretty pooped, buzzed and off-point.

When I was following the band, Mom and Dad were not happy, seeing me as irresponsible, and not making something of my life. Now I play cool Dead when I'm hanging with Mom, and she enjoys it, sometimes shakin' it a little with me in the kitchen. I wish my Dad had made it to this point. I listened to 9/2/83 Boise Idaho last night, a sbd cd a friend gave me a few years ago. Second set is pretty sweet...Help>Slip>Franklin's, Estimated>Eyes>Jam (cool jam I've never heard before)>D>S>Throwin'> GDTRFB> Black Peter> SM, encore Baby Blue. I too wish the FW 69 box would be re-released. I can't afford the ebay prices-can you believe this box sold for $80? If anyone has a FW 69 box they would like to sell to me at a reasonable price, please please let me know!

Fantastic story especially when it involves converting those who we may have thought were beyond conversion. And double.....nay....TRIPLE points for them being A Parent. Glad to have inspired a (potential) '91 listen as well. Love that show. And I know it's been discussed around here before, but I also recall having seen the Eyes of the World and the Saint of Circumstance on a Friday evening program called "In Concert", late at night. I had a VHS of it for years which I somehow converted onto an audio cassette just for that Eyes of the World. Imagine my elation when I discovered The Archive back in The Day and everything was accessible and downloadable. It was an epiphany extraordinaire. Sixtus P.S. I happeed to be listening to my compiled list of the February 26, 1977 show. And embedded in there was the Scarlet>Fire from May 5, 1977. The first show from this box. I have no idea how it got in there, but it was included as one track. And I listened to it. Curiously, yet still unfamiliar by listen. I have admittedly never heard this show despite its prominent locale among the golden magnificent trifecta. And as the Scarlet > Fire transition was unfolding, something suddenly happens and the band just takes off. It's a mesmerizing moment and makes one start paying attention henceforth. From there and onward, it hints at some really cool, familiar moments. As it was moving along I was hearing these little signature passages. I listened to it all the way through and my jaw kind of slacked and I said to myself...."self: this sounds like Cornell". Then once the walking wah-wah of Fire on the Mountain began its slow plodding stamp...just like Cornell....but a few bars longer....I went and checked the playlist and sure enough it WAS the night before. There are some uncanny overlaps; as with most amazing things that happen there's always something that happens before from which it has built. A theme. Feeling. Vibe. A malicious beat. God only knows what it is but it somehow morphs one night to the next into something intangible and beautiful. I love this shit.
