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.)

unlikely given the recording technology used 

Plangent & HDCD is about the best you can hope for
There is vinyl, it's just the Cornell show (5 total LPs). 

The vinyl is not from the original analogue tape. 
As much as I love American Beauty, I really enjoy the Godchaux era dead. I just wish all their live stuff sounded as good as Reckoning. Europe 72' is pretty good sound wise, but not at the level of Reckoning. Cheers -Don
