Of note on the vinyl release... It's limited to only 7,700 copies. These will dry up fast given that this is the holy grail of shows. By comparison, most of the RSD releases of the Dead had similar print runs and are now very hard to find without paying a premium. I got mine from Music Direct and I see that they no longer have them. Might be a good time to get one if you are thinking about it, before they shoot up in price. Less than 1,500 left on dead.net.

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.)
