Grateful Dead - 1978-05-17 - Chicago IL (SBD)

As we've discussed in several posts on this blog, 1978 was a year of highs and lows for the Grateful Dead. For example, their 3 shows at the Pyramids in Egypt, while historic in terms of the setting, did not feature the band's finest musical moments. Their performance at Winterland on New Year’s Eve, however, is the stuff of legends. The spring tour that year was also a high point, as shows from April 22, April 24, May 10, May 11 and May 14 have all been officially released. This soundboard recording captures the Dead at the end of that wonderful Spring run, on May 17, 1978, 41 years ago today, in Chicago.
