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.)

Agreed-


the CD set is outstanding. Nicely packaged as well.

Happy Listening!

Right On! otherone.

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


Happy Listening!
I own #11408.  Really a beautiful package overall. Book is excellent as well.
Nice! otherone-

how do your previous versions of the material compare to the "new" boxed set?  The Plangent Process is an amazing technology. I own various CDs that were manufactured utilizing this tool.

Happy Listening!
Just getting around to this set. I bought the 1st deluxe set prior to it selling out. A beautiful package all around. I will start listening tonight through the rest of the week in proper fashion.

Happy Listening!
I received my shipping notice today as well.
I will post after receipt.

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!
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!
I got my order in early this am.  As much money as (we) fans give to this band, it is unacceptable, to not have a working website?

I will finally get a taste of Cornell '77 - I am stoked.
