Limited five vinyl LP pressing. Live archive release of the most celebrated Grateful Dead show in history. The forces aligned for the Dead on May 8 1977 at Barton Hall Cornell University Ithaca NY; for what many hail the pinnacle performance of their 30-year career. So revered is the performance that an audience recording of this show joined Princes Purple Rain and Dolly Partons Coat Of Many Colors as 2012s inductees into the National Recording Registry of the U.S. Library Of Congress an honor bestowed upon music/songs that “are culturally historically or aesthetically important.” Cornell 5/8/77 was recorded live directly from the soundboards by Betty Cantor-Jackson. After several years the master tapes were seemingly lost for good but that all changed at the end of 2016. The lost tapes or lost Betty boards as they are commonly known finally made their way back home to the Grateful Dead vault making it possible to officially bring the world this legendary show. The complete live show has been Plangentized by Plangent Processes and remastered by Grammy Award winning sound engineer Jeffrey Norman.Format: Vinyl
