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.)

I have spun sides 1 and 2. I admit I'm one of those who try to go for all analog throughout the chain. This of course is not, but I feel darned lucky to have bought this. It has an up front perspective, like I'm sitting in the 8th row or so. It has great presence, and an intimate feel. I was up late and started to fall out, but I can't wait to listen to the rest of it. Love the Jack Straw, and the Jerry solo material especially so far. Looking forward the St. Stephen, which I think is LP 3 or 4.
I own #11408.  Really a beautiful package overall. Book is excellent as well.
Right On! otherone.

some experts cannot decide between the Cornell and Buffalo show(s)?
I say it is all good!


Happy Listening!
Confirmation on the Minglewoood patch on 5/8/77.
The ONLY new patch is for 5/7/77 and is from Matt Smith.

Man, this Cornell 24/196 is crazy good. Falling in love with all these 1st sets from this box all over again...

Agreed-


the CD set is outstanding. Nicely packaged as well.

Happy Listening!
