Ithaca Minute – Grateful Dead Day in Ithaca!
The 40th anniversary of the legendary Grateful Dead 5.8.77 show at Cornell’s Barton Hall is here! Cornell’s iconic chimes at McGraw Tower will cap a series of events on campus this afternoon, with a 6:00-6:30pm set that includes Grateful Dead classics like “Touch of Grey,” “Ripple,” and “Uncle John’s Band,” as well as some Beatles and Paul Simon music.
Right before the chimes concert, at 5:45pm, Tompkins County legislator Dan Klein will read a county proclamation marking Grateful Dead Day in Tompkins County.
Local photographer Jon Reis was sent to the Barton Hall concert by the Ithaca Journal to get some photos. Some of his shots from the Barton Hall show are for sale at jonreisphoto.com.
Tonight’s big event at the State Theatre features a special set of acoustic music by tribute band Terrapin Station, an official listening party of the newly remastered release of the 1977 show tapes, a silent auction, and special guests and speakers.
The book Cornell ’77 by Peter Conners came out last month from Cornell University Press, telling “the tale of the Grateful Dead’s fabled show.
If you just want a Grateful Dead show, the place to be is The Range on the Ithaca Commons, where Dark Hollow will be performing a full set of the Cornell 1977 show.
