Dead & Company at Cornell Universityā€™s Barton Hall

After 46 Years, Dead and Company perform at Barton Hall in benefit of Cornellā€™s The 2030 Project and MusiCares. Bill Sherman paints the original performance like this ā€œThe memory I think all of us have is, it was 60 degrees and sunny before we went into the show. Everybody was playing Frisbee in shorts and T-shirts. We came out four hours later, six inches of snow. You never saw so many people going, ā€˜Woah, how long were we in there?ā€™ā€ The 1977 show is one of the top performances the group has had and makes it a must-stop venue on their farewell tour. The show was intimate, with a crowd of about 5,000 people. This was quite the treat for avid fans. While tickets ranged from $500 - 1500, Cornell students experienced the event for only $77.
