Cornell '77 is a smart history.... It's also a lot of fun.... And in his exegesis of the Dead classic 'Dark Star,' Conners's own writing becomes psychedelic--a challenge for any scribe, and one he meets with a poet's lyricism and insider's experience., "Peter Conners draws on an exceptionally wide range of sources--musicians, sound engineers, ticket takers, tapers, groundlings, record executives, archivists, journalists, and historians--not to argue that the Barton Hall event was the best Grateful Dead concert ever, but rather to show how it encapsulated the Dead's unique project and its extraordinary reception. By situating this remarkable concert in its place and time, Conners also demonstrates why the Dead's project continues to matter today. Cornell '77 will show aficionados and casual readers alike how the Ithacan part stands for the Dionysian whole."-Peter Richardson, San Francisco State University, author of No Simple Highway: A Cultural History of the Grateful Dead, I recommend Cornell '77 to anyone, Dead fan or not, who would like to know how one three-and-a-half-hour concert can, apparently, disappear into the mists of time for the musicians who played it, but stay vivid for decades in the memories of at least some of the almost 5,000 attendees, the concert's organizers, and the Dead's road crew, as well in the imaginations of untold listeners who only experienced the show through Cantor-Jackson's recording on cassette tapes and CD-Rs., "Peter Conners draws on an exceptionally wide range of sources--musicians, sound engineers, ticket takers, tapers, groundlings, record executives, archivists, journalists, and historians--not to argue that the Barton Hall event was the best Grateful Dead concert ever, but rather to show how it encapsulated the Dead's unique project and its extraordinary reception.

By situating this remarkable concert in its place and time, Conners also demonstrates why the Dead's project continues to matter today. Cornell '77 will show aficionados and casual readers alike how the Ithacan part stands for the Dionysian whole., Peter Conners' writing is the silver lining of intelligence in this book and the author carries on stylishly entertaining the reader as he enacts the ratification of his premise: that this late Seventies spring show at the institution of higher learning in Ithaca, New York was/is the ultimate Grateful Dead performance., "Peter Conners displays a great deal of insight on the Grateful Dead. His focus on Deadheads is apt; the author was a card-carrying member of this group, though he boarded the bus several years after the concert described so well in Cornell '77."-Peter Richardson, San Francisco State University, author of No Simple Highway: A Cultural History of the Grateful Dead, The book Cornell '77: The Music, the Myth, and the Magnificence of the Grateful Dead's Concert at Barton Hall , by Deadhead Peter Conners, is a smart history....

Synopsis
Cornell '77 is about far more than just a single Grateful Dead concert. It is a social and cultural history of one of America's most enduring and iconic musical acts, their devoted fans, and a group of Cornell students whose passion for music drove them to bring the Dead to Barton Hall., On May 8, 1977, at Barton Hall, on the Cornell University campus, in front of 8,500 eager fans, the Grateful Dead played a show so significant that the Library of Congress inducted it into the National Recording Registry. The band had just released Terrapin Station and was still finding its feet after an extended hiatus. In 1977, the Grateful Dead reached a musical peak, and their East Coast spring tour featured an exceptional string of performances, including the one at Cornell. Many Deadheads claim that the quality of the live recording of the show made by Betty Cantor-Jackson (a member of the crew) elevated its importance. Once those recordings--referred to as "Betty Boards"--began to circulate among Deadheads, the reputation of the Cornell '77 show grew exponentially. With time the show at Barton Hall acquired legendary status in the community of Deadheads and audiophiles. Rooted in dozens of interviews--including a conversation with Betty Cantor-Jackson about her recording--and accompanied by a dazzling selection of never-before-seen concert photographs, Cornell '77 is about far more than just a single Grateful Dead concert. It is a social and cultural history of one of America's most enduring and iconic musical acts, their devoted fans, and a group of Cornell students whose passion for music drove them to bring the Dead to Barton Hall. Peter Conners has intimate knowledge of the fan culture surrounding the Dead, and his expertise brings the show to life. He leads readers through a song-by-song analysis of the performance, from "New Minglewood Blues" to "One More Saturday Night," and conveys why, forty years later, Cornell '77 is still considered a touchstone in the history of the band. As Conners notes in his Prologue: "You will hear from Deadheads who went to the show. You will hear from non-Deadhead Cornell graduates who were responsible for putting on the show in the first place. You will hear from record executives, academics, scholars, Dead family members, tapers, traders, and trolls. You will hear from those who still live the Grateful Dead every day. You will hear from those who would rather keep their Grateful Dead passions private for reasons both personal and professional. You will hear stories about the early days of being a Deadhead and what it was like to attend, and perhaps record, those early shows, including Cornell '77.", On May 8, 1977, at Barton Hall, on the Cornell University campus, in front of 8,500 eager fans, the Grateful Dead played a show so significant that the Library of Congress inducted it into the National Recording Registry.
