The Betty Boards Are Now in the Grateful Dead Vault
While to some degree this was buried in the announcement regarding the forthcoming release of the Grateful Dead’s May 1977: Get Shown The Light box set, the famed Betty Boards are now officially part of the Grateful Dead vault.
A few years ago we reported on the saga of the Betty Boards, which include more than 350 reels of Grateful Dead soundboards recorded by audio crew member Betty Cantor-Jackson, that found their way into a May 1986 storage auction in California’s Marin County (you can read the entire saga here). These tapes remained in private hands for many years, although copies did eventually circulate (eventually some of the original reels began to deteriorate before Rob Eaton helped to restore them). For many, of course, the Holy Grail may well be the May 8, 1977 show in Ithaca, NY at Cornell’s Barton Hall.
Archivist David Lemieux notes, “During the 18+ years I’ve worked with the Grateful Dead, no concert has garnered as much attention and as many requests for release as Cornell, with the New Haven, Boston, and Buffalo shows following very closely behind. For those who didn’t know the history of these master tapes and about their absence from the band’s vault, and for those who have, like us, lamented this hole in the collection, we join with you in celebrating what might be, minute-for-minute, song-for-song, the most high quality Grateful Dead release ever produced.”
May 1977: Get Shown The Light presents 5/8/77, along with three previously unreleased performances: Veterans’ Memorial Coliseum, New Haven, CT (5/5/77), Boston Garden, Boston, MA (5/7/77), and Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, Buffalo, NY (5/9/77).
