Setlist Dead & Company Barton Hall, Cornell University, 5/8/2023

[SunshineSue]

It's time to hop into the Wayback Machine and transport ourselves to May of 1977 for a tribute to the storied and much debated "best" Grateful Dead show ever performed, the legendary 5/8/77 Barton Hall show at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. Showtime is approximately 7:30 pm ET. So put on a tie dye, pull out the Monday party favors and let's party like it's one more Saturday night in 1977!!

Is it 7 pm or 7:30?

Good question. Nugs says 7 (actually now says 6:55) and the Cornell23 website says event starts at 7:30. I'll sign into Nugs at 7 to be sure, but I'm not holding my breath for a start before 7:30.

I'm seeing some folks saying that there will be an audio stream on Dead and Company's YouTube page. We will see.
Listened to 5/8/77 on my hike this morning!

I think you're right! I don't see a link yet, but the DeadCo site says there's a "free audio simulcast" in addition to the Sirius audio. This might be quite the Monday night couch party!!

I am ready to give this a go today.

I was listening to New Minglewood Blues from the Phil recreation of 5-8-77 (with John Mayer), and then I switched it up with a really cool one from Furthur that I always thought was really slow but awesome with the extra lyrics of "Going to San Fransisco if I have to crawl". I then realized it too may have been faster than Dead and Co do it, lol.

Looking forward to see if they play Minglewood and what they choose to add, hopefully Lazy Lightning!

That Phil show with Mayer as an unannounced guest was pretty incredible. I remember being blown away by how well John did with Morning Dew. It was quite a pleasant surprise! And finally we should get a full Lazy Lightning/Supplication, can't wait for that!

I wonder if Bobby is going to tell the crowd, "When I tell ya take a step back, everybody take a step back!"

Are we still sure they’re recreating the show and not just doing their own setlist?
