Grateful Dead May 77 Box Set Announced

Just a half hour ago dead.net announced they are releasing the new Betty Board Box Set from 1977 :-)

May 5 New Haven, CT

May 7 Boston, MA

May 8 Ithaca, NY

May 9 Buffalo, NY

... and will be transferred by Jeffery Norman using Plangent Processing (WOW that's great news)

Get Shown the Light, limited to 15,000 individually numbered copies, is available to pre-order exclusively from the Dead site. The Cornell set will also be available as a digital download in Apple Lossless and FLAC formats beginning May 5th. The Barton Hall concert will also be available in three-CD, limited-edition five-LP, digital download and streaming formats.

The full Light set will come in an elaborate box constructed by Masaki Koike, featuring a book by Peter Conners, Cornell '77: The Music, the Myth and the Legend of the Grateful Dead's Concert at Barton Hall, and an essay by Dead scholar Nicholas G. Meriwether. (Conners' book will also be available for purchase separately.)

fjn04- Don,

for a cd player there has never been a better time to buy an updated spinner.  All of the classics, Sony, Pioneer, Denon, Yamaha, JVC, NAD,
...etc., still apply.  Happy Listening!

14T of Dead?  Excellent- I can hardly await for the new Cornell discs to arrive. Give me your listening impressions of the new CDs vs. your stored digital files.  Happy Listening!

Hey jafant -

Yes - 14 TB. All the sources available (sbd, aud, FM, Matrix's, etc..)

I can already tell you the best SBD out there of 5/8/77 in circulation was from Dan Hicks and it sounds amazing.

Yesterday at 3:30 Dave L. played Scarlet>Fire from 5-8-77 on Sirius Ch 23 (GD channel) and it really does sound even better.  Quite incredible actually and that was only in the car!!!

As clean as clean can be!!! We all should be really happy with the outcome of this box.
