    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.

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.

Sounds good - speaking of JGB, anyone see the Melvin Seals JGB show that's touring? I'm taking the wife on Saturday night at the Cabot in Beverly.

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.
