Grateful Dead – Cornell 5/8/77 (3-CD)
Product Details
May 8, 1977, Barton Hall, Cornell University. Deadheads have passed around this recording for decades, holding it up as the definitive example of the band at the peak of their powers during what many consider their greatest touring year. The second set alone, with "Scarlet Begonias" flowing into "Fire on the Mountain" and a scorching "Morning Dew" to close, makes a case that's hard to argue with.
Cornell 5/8/77 was recorded live directly from the soundboards by Betty Cantor-Jackson. After several years the master tapes were seemingly lost for good, but that all changed at the end of 2016. The lost tapes, or lost “Betty boards” as they are commonly known, finally made their way back home to the Grateful Dead vault, making it possible to officially bring the world this legendary show just in time for its 40th Anniversary. The complete live show has been Plangentized by Plangent Processes and remastered by GRAMMY ® award winning sound engineer, Jeffrey Norman.
