The Grateful Dead's Spring '77 Tour.

Why this tour, why this year.

By the spring of 1977 the band was rested, the songs were new, and Betty Cantor-Jackson's soundboard reels were quietly capturing some of the most fully-realized music the Grateful Dead ever made. This archive collects every documented stop of the run — venues, setlists, recordings, and the writing left behind by people who were there.
