    What a scene it must have been.

    Barton Hall is an interesting place.

      When I traded in my old Jeep 6 months ago, which still had a cassette player, I had to run back and grab my tape of that show from the dealership. I treasure that.

              I ordered it yesterday. I wasn't aware they were releasing it. For years they weren't able to because a bunch of master tapes were auctioned off without the band's engineer's permission and this was one of them. For years it was in the hands of a private collector. I guess they somehow managed to get their hands on the recording.

              The recording of this show which was inducted into the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry was made by a taper, which certainly is appropriate.

                  It sounds great and the band is on and at the top of their game. It's impossible to say what the greatest Dead show ever was... I'd say personally for me it was the first one I saw at the Spectrum.

                  But this has to be top ten or better.

                    makes sense. for as long as i've read about the GD, 5-8-77 has pretty much been the show that if you're into the dead, you have a copy.

                    read that the music never stopped on the 5-9 release is spliced, missing about 20 seconds from the peak. kind of a bummer.

                      All time favorite GD show

                      I'd like to get my paws on the vinyl release. I've always listened to that show on Internet Archive. Pretty good matrix mix done by one Mr. Hunter Seamons up there. That spring 77 run was about the tightest I've ever heard the Dead.

                          I have a cassette of this with a hand drawn cover. Probably third generation. This is something much more better sounding than that.

                          This release has a special meaning for me as this concert was legendary at Cornell. When I first showed up to move in at my dorm in Ithaca, I was wearing a Dead T-shirt. The janitor of the place immediately said to me "You'll fit in well here". He was correct.

                            One other thing to note is this is before they started to get a little lazy with the "Space" and "Drums" jams.

                            To me the energy used to weaken while they were doing that.
