Grateful Dead. Boston Garden 5/7/77 RSD EXCLUSIVE 5X Vinyl.
The Grateful Dead performed more the 2,300 concerts, and of these many live shows, a three-night-run in May 1977, spanning three cities on the East Coast, is arguably the Dead's greatest trio of shows: May 7 in Boston, MA, May 8 in Ithaca, NY, and May 9 in Buffalo, NY. These three shows, along with their near-equal from May 5 in New Haven, made up the long-ago sold out box set Get Shown The Light.
The last two nights of this run have been released on vinyl in previous years, this Boston performance has not. From its opening, playful “Bertha,” through a flawless first set featuring “Cassidy,” “Jack Straw,” “Mississippi Half Step,” “The Music Never Stopped,” and many others, the Dead are clearly having a wonderful night in Bean Town. The second set is filled with then-new and older songs from the Dead's catalog, including “Terrapin Station,” “Estimated Prophet,” “Eyes Of The World,” and “Wharf Rat,” amongst others. A spectacular show from start-to-finish, Boston 5/7/77 is one of the most upbeat, accessible shows the Grateful Dead ever performed.
Exclusive 5LP vinyl box set produced by Rhino Records in celebration of Record Store Day 2023. Only 9000 copies worldwide.
