Description
The Grateful Dead’s performance at Cornell University’s Barton Hall on May 8, 1977 has long been acknowledged as one of the group’s most compelling live shows. In fact, this performance was “deemed so important to the history and culture of the United States” that it was added to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry in 2011. Dead Heads have been exchanging unauthorized tapes of the show for years. Now, the entire set has been officially released in a deluxe 5LP box set, sourced from the Betty Cantor-Jackson soundboard recordings.
Track Listing:
A1. New Minglewood Blues A2. Loser A3. El Paso B1. They Love Each Other B2. Jack Straw B3. Deal C1. Lazy Lightning C2. Supplication C3. Brown-Eyed Women 10. Mama Tried D2. Row Jimmy E1. Dancing In The Street F1. Scarlet Begonias F2. Fire On The Mountain G1. Estimated Prophet H1. St. Stephen H2. Not Fade Away H3. St. Stephen I1. Morning Dew I2.

This fabulous box set was released in a limited edition of 7700 on the 40th anniversary of this legendary show, May 8, 2017. The tapes were transferred and restored by Plangent Processes and mastered in HDCD by Jeffrey Norman. This box set also features artwork by Grammy-winning graphic artist Masaki Koike and an in-depth essay by noted Dead scholar Nicholas Meriwether.
Both the box and the 5 LPs are in beautiful near mint condition, as they were played once and then put away for storage. Sales Price includes free shipping via USPS Priority Mail, with insurance and signature confirmation. SORRY, SALES ONLY WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. This is an excellent opportunity to score this historic and now out of print recording of this legendary Grateful Dead live show. Thanks for looking and please check out my other auctions.
