5/8/07 is Grateful Dead Day in Ithaca NY Proclamation from the Mayor of the City of Ithaca
Whereas, the Grateful Dead have been recognized by many highly credible organizations, individuals and entities including the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as significantly important and integral to the musical and social fabric of our contemporary culture, and whereas, on May 8th, 1977 the Grateful Dead performed in Barton Hall on the campus of Cornell University in the city of Ithaca New York, a concert that is widely acknowledged and regarded as a defining and transcendent occasion and example of the art of contemporary musical improvisation, collaboration, musicianship, and performance, and whereas, many tens of thousands of individuals who were not in attendance that night in Barton Hall, have become knowledgeable & familiar with the extraordinary nature of the performance on May 8th 1977 through the trading and sharing of recordings of the show, and whereas, the cultural identity and perceptions of Ithaca as a community, have been informed and bolstered by the widespread acknowledgement of the magic of May 8th, 1977, and whereas, it has been said many times by many people that, “there is nothing like a Grateful Dead concert.”
Now therefore, be it resolved that as Mayor of the City of Ithaca, and in heartfelt recognition of the thirtieth anniversary of the May 8th 1977 concert performance, I declare May 8th 2007 as Grateful Dead Day in the City of Ithaca.

I'm a huge fan and have a lot of live shows, but damn, that's the single longest sentence I've ever read in my life.

ETA: I'm not trying to be an ass, just can't see how they are "overrated" considering critics never really raved about the Dead. If you said something like "Oasis" I'd agree 100%, because critics continually heap praise on a mediocre Brit-rock band.

If anybody wants to listen to the show, here's a link to a streaming audio of a SBD/AUD matrix. click me Looks like you can't get the straight SBD recording anymore, at least not without a little peer to peer trading effort. Thanks Bobby :rolleyes:
