    Culled from a May 6, 1999 post by Rob Eaton to dnc --
    I recently re-decoded 5/5/77 and 5/8/77. I went into Right Track Studios in NYC (my home base studio ) set up in studio B (which is the premier state of the art Digital Music Studio in world). These tapes are absolutely the best possible reproductions of the dig tapes made from the masters (I only wish I had the actual reels so I could do a proper azimuth adjustment on them).

    My new (new) favorite story, that I'm pasting in its entirely from @Terry Tolkin here: ua-cam.com/video/luAqu8VX5wo/v-deo.html
    Me and a couple of friends had been following the band on this tour since the Spectrum shows in Philadelphia.
    Barton Hall was basically a glorified gymnasium and was about the size of an indoor basketball court.
    No seating either.
    After the show we went back to the rear entrance and waited for them to come out. A light snowfall was swirling around, the big billowing flakes blazed like white fireflies as they caught the parking lot lights. Two black stretch limos were idling by the door. There weren't any other fans around, just some crew and a few university officials.
    The rear doors swung open and they all tumbled out. Each one of them was carrying a black attaché case. The band had been running their own label for awhile by now and we'd bought most of our tickets for this tour via mail-order through the Grateful Dead office in San Francisco. These were not the custom made tickets that would be the norm a few years later. See scalping had already become a very real problem and Dead tickets were some of the earliest concerts targeted by those creeps. The band's initial response was to contract for blocks of tickets for each show that they could get them for on a tour. My friends and I had all been on the Dead's mailing list for years at this point. Bulk ticket distributors seldom sold seats for these smaller, more obscure venues and the Dead office didn't mark up the prices​ either.
    None of us were speaking up as they exited so I did:
    “We've got first row for Buffalo tomorrow night!"
    I blurted out to none of them in particular as I held them up.
    “Oh yeah? Lemme see those"
    Phil said.
    I handed all four of them to him.
    By now Billy, Keith and Donna had already gotten into one of the stretches and left.
    Looking them over, Phil asked:
    “Did you get these from our office?"
    “Yeah, we did. Mail order"
    I responded.
    Phil then had handed a couple of them around to Jerry and Bob.
    Commenting to the others, Jerry remarked:
    “Well at least something's working"
    They all chuckled.
    I told them what a great show this night was and, for some stupid reason, repeated that the tickets that they were holding are for the first row in Buffalo tomorrow night.
    Bobby said:
    “Let me see those"
    as he gathered them all up.
    Jerry and Phil bid us "Goodnight" and piled into their limo. Bobby slid in behind them, closed the door and then they started to speed off....
    WITH OUR TICKETS!
    We all ran after them yelling for them to stop. After just a few yards, the limo stopped and it's rear window dropped down as we finally caught up.
    We could hear them laughing riotously as Bobby's arm emerged from the rear window holding all four tickets splayed out like a hand of cards.
    “See you tomorrow"
    he said though his laughter.
    When they took the stage that next night at the War Memorial, Bobby and Jerry walked over to the lip, spotted us in our seats and waived. They kinda chuckled too cause we were all doing balloons full of whippets. Bobby walked over to Phil and pointed us out. He walked over, looked down at us, smiled and then he waved at us too.

      Great story! I have a story about Cornell and Buffalo but I can't tell it for a few years. I'm still working, lol. We brought my friend's NAK 550 in but for reasons I can't discuss the tape didn't turn out:-) I can tell that the decks steel frame was bent by the crush at the door when they open one small gym door to let 500 - 1000 fans. Not fun. It still worked but other things went awry.

    You may have heard this show before :) Unfortunately the only version on UA-cam is all separate tracks and interrupted by commercials about yoga pants. If your vision quests are anything like mine, that won't do. This is also the tape where I first heard IT, sitting alone in my car as a high school senior. I remember being possessed by the idea, perhaps during NFA and baked out of my gourd, that I needed to tell everyone about this music, going door to door if need be. I was nicer to Jehovah's Witnesses after that.
    Crank it and enjoy.
    [WOS edit: it's been 4 mo and they haven't slapped a goddammned commercial on here yet! If that changes someone please notify me]

    Listened to this tape a million times years before I knew the date or place. 1 time the 72 beetle was on the lift quiet when the tape flipped. Mechanic was like, its got a mind of its own huh? 72 semi automatic electric clutch. Tons of problems but well worth it. Painted entire top a huge blue sun w yellow around it. Big ol 🌼 on the door. DANK to keep kids off shwag bumper sticker. We explained what that meant to some Mass troopers one night...

    This show was produced by David Lemieux for GDP on the Rhino Label. What's great about the Rhino recording is that they got Donna dialed in perfectly. (no wailing banshee). The Lazy lightning> Supplication jam between Bobby & Jerry is jazz on fire! Incredibly tight. If you get the Rhino release you will NOT be disappointed. The remix sounds so clear, it's startling. The entire show is on 3 discs - search it out....

    • @przybyla420
      @przybyla420 2 роки тому

      Whoever was mixing after Owsley ruined some awesome shows with Donna’s “backup vocals” (“vocals”) drowning out Garcia. She wails like that and then has the nerve to say later that at this point, late ‘70s, they weren’t just some weirdo hippie band anymore. Excuse me, they’d been playing awesome shows since at least ‘67 and no one else ever got PAID TO RUIN THEM

    Man what a phenomenal show. I remember picking up the cd set when it first came out back in 2017.. had just ended a 4 year relationship with my girlfriend at the time..let’s just say this show was a huge part of my recovery, and also helped to dazzle more than a few of the ladies i admittedly brought home during that time. We’d get back to my house, I’d throw the first disc in the stereo system, the Dead would launch into New Minglewood Blues..and the ladies would say, “This is the Grateful Dead?!” Those nights ended quite well 😇🤣

    My third dead concert was in KC. The second night I was already in orbit by the time we arrived at the concert. Four or five songs in, I was standing about 10 people back from center stage, looking at Jerry totally mesmerized as he was singing Loser. I thought "what makes this cat so freaking amazing?" The thought hadn't even completely formed when he looked over his glasses DIRECTLY INTO MY EYES and said "I know a little something you'll never know " that shook me so hard that I had to go sit in the stands and get my head back together for the next couple of songs LOL. What a damned moment. Wow.

    Thanks WOS! I know Bobby likes to toy with the youngsters and say this show never really happened, but as several of us here can attest, it definitely did. On the Friday before Commander Cody played a free show on Libe Slope. The warm up act. I don’t remember much of Saturday, except that it was an all day party at our house with many guests popping in from all over the NE for the show. I remember heading up to Barton Hall mid morning Sunday with sleeping bags, cases of beer, bongs, etc - where an all-day party ensued outside before the show. It rained at some point, and we all got drenched, but nobody cared. A friend had come up from RI and had seen the prior shows in Boston and New Haven, and all he kept saying, about once every 30 minutes with this look of bliss on his face was “Just wait til they play Scarlet Begonias”. We had no idea what he was talking about, or how he could possibly know what they might decide to play this night. Keep in mind that none of us had ever heard Scarlet>Fire played that way before this run. No internet. Few circulating tapes. Mostly just word of mouth. And we all know the set list is never that predictable. Anyway, I remember when they finally opened the doors to that old armory and there was a mad rush in. My sleeping bag was lost forever. My buddy had oranges in his jacket, and when we got inside he was soaked in orange juice. As for the music, you can hear the show here. But the other really cool thing was to come out of this show, having just heard one of the most amazing Dead shows ever, around midnight May 8, and it was SNOWING!!! And we were all just looking at the sparkling snowflakes in awe. Perfect ending to a really sweet evening. It definitely happened. Thanks again for sharing

    There's an old Greek(?) saying, "a society is great when its members plants trees, whose shade they will never sit under."
    I'm hell-bent on seeing Dead and Company the first chance I can, same with The Grateful Shread. Maybe I'll go to some music festival with noise cancelling headphones and some good dead soundboards.

    This is the earliest I’ve heard Jerry’s leaping arpeggios in his Scarlet jam. He’d tinker with this figure all the way up to New Year’s ‘87 or ‘88 when I taped him jumping whole 10ths or something-JG really really loved to play scarlet begonias 🥲 (even as he sometimes would forget the words 😉)...

      Bob weir confirmed alot of speculation that this show actually never happened, and that its just a compilation of edited recordings from previous shows. Rumors say it was part of a CIA experiment to see if people would think they went to a show that never happened. The CIA and their operations actually heavily influenced the grateful dead, most famously with mk-ultra and their lsd experiments.

Every new group of people I encountered fed me...what I don't know 🤤 They were like families, at least for a few minutes. Had to stay on the move. I mean, dang, I was looking for my parents!! Didn't want to end up like Joe Dirt, or get Munsoned, you know what I mean?!. At one point I got a helium balloon and inhaled it to talk funny...but I swear, that was no helium balloon 🤯

Back and forth between Jerry and Phill and Keith fills in the gaps to perfection. It's easy to forget that there are six musicians playing separately from each other. It's hard for me to articulate. The band is playing as one. And it's icing for the eardrums and the soul. Absolutely beautiful.

    Thanks for the great sound! For years it's bothered me how the recordings I heard just didn't cut it. I was at that show, and I well remember the excitement of coming into Barton Hall at Cornell (where I'd gone to school and was just starting to teach in '77) with a big crowd-flow and hearing the rousing opening of "Minglewood Blues". When we first heard a tape of the concert in the 1980's, my wife and I were transported-our bodies and souls remembered it instantly. Is it the best of the best-depends on who you ask. I like to say the best Dead show is one where you had the best time. Long live the Dead! 🌠

    What's funny is that I have seen the Grateful Dead 2 dozen times during the 80s. I loved them. But the more I listen the more special this band is. I love other bands like Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Jethro Tull. But there is something about the Dead that makes them stand apart. When they are on they go to a higher level that is rarely found by musicians. When history is written the Dead will stand beside Beethoven and Mozart. I loved the Dead but not enough. I have come to appreciate the power of their music. And I mean power. They bring it at the right times and in the right way. When I got it I realized how amazing it was. In the 19th century I believe the Grateful Dead were the greatest musicians and will be remembered that way. The most amazing part is they played inspirational music for decades. Maybe changed some but still amazing, but to about 1990.

I remember dancing with a very beautiful Cornell student who I met during dancin in the street. We talked during intermission and danced the whole second set. After the show when we l walked out of the gymnasium it was snowing and the campus looked so different than when we arrived that afternoon from Syracuse. We were feeling completely blissed out from the show. We both knew that we had witnessed a once in a lifetime concert and our hearts and all our chakras were blasted wide open. We walked around the beautiful snow covered campus to her dorm and spent the night continuing making love.

    I caught the L.A Forum show a few weeks later, my 2nd show (1st was Hollywood Bowl 1974). I enjoyed the Bowl show, but didn't really "get it" (I was more Bowie and prog rock at the time). The Forum show changed all that - the delicate, nuanced and mood swingy music has occupied space in my head and heart ever since.
