When Dead and Company confirmed a few days after their mysterious post that they would, in fact, be playing a concert at Cornell this spring, the question hung in the air for students, alumni and deadheads alike: Will the 2023 concert be able to compare to the 1977 performance at Barton Hall, widely agreed to be one of the Grateful Dead’s best performances? I answer with reverence for the Grateful Dead’s musical legacy, yes.
As the first show of their farewell tour, Dead and Company performed on Monday, May 8 at Barton Hall 46 years after the legendary “Cornell ’77” concert.
With ticket lottery winners for the Dead and Company concert announced, some students rejoiced, while others who did not receive a ticket sought other methods of purchasing one.
Students and others can now enter a lottery system to request tickets for the May 8 Dead and Company concert in Barton Hall.
Dead and Company, a band consisting of several former members of the Grateful Dead, announced their May 8 Barton Hall benefit concert on Thursday evening.
