Revisiting The Grateful Dead’s ‘Get Shown The Light’

Season 12, Ep. 534
•

This week on Discologist, we're revisiting an episode from the before times wherein Eduardo, Kevin, and Andre (IYKYK) delved deep into the monumental box set by the Grateful Dead called 'Get Shown The Light'.

This box set captures the band's legendary four-night run at New York's iconic venue, Fillmore East in 1977. It includes what many consider to be the finest performances of their career, particularly the Cornell show on May 9, 1977. Whether you're a dedicated Deadhead or simply curious about the band, this set is essential listening.

Join us as we explore the standout moments from this treasure trove of music, including the soulful 'Sugaree', the epic 'Morning Dew', and more. We'll also delve into the Grateful Dead's innovative sound, their legendary live performances, and their enduring influence on the music world.

Tune in now to embark on an unforgettable journey through the legendary box set, 'Get Shown The Light', by the Grateful Dead.
