It Was Thirty Years Ago Today…

Whether you worship it or think it’s overrated hippie nonsense, chances are you’ve got some story related to the Grateful Dead’s 5/8/77 show at Cornell University, most likely about your First Bootleg Tape Ever.

We’re all well aware you’re heady enough to know the nights before and after were just as good if not better, but let’s take a moment for the 8th today.

And in honor of the 30-year anniversary of this newb-lovin’ show — remember, Ithaca recently turned this one into a holiday of sorts — feel free to take a step back and stream this badboy ’til you’re contented beyond reproach.
