Many of the most legendary Grateful Dead concerts took place in 1977, including the May 8, 1977, show at Cornell University's Barton Hall, considered by some to be their greatest performance. The band's performances throughout 1977 were famously cohesive. According to band archivist David Lemieux, the Spring tour was "as close to a flawless Grateful Dead tour as I've ever heard".

Alice Coltrane

There was a moment when I was reading a lot about Alice Coltrane and I was surprised to look back and not see I'd written about her on my music blog. I did quote the beginning of a book on her on another blog : Portrait of Devotion: The spiritual life of Alice Coltrane by Shankari C. Adams The introduction starts: “It was August 1975; a group of us had gone to a music hall in Northern California to hear Alice Coltrane perform in concert. Certain recreational activities, such as drinking and smoking, had been banned from the evening venue. This allowed for a higher vibrational energy to fill the room’s atmosphere. It felt clean and clear. Subsequently, the consciousness of those present felt elevated. The audience was seated and filled with joyful expectation.” I have two friends who are really into hallucinogens and I feel I get high enough meditating a lot.  I read about this album where she's just singing devotionally: Kirtan: Turiya Sings ( spotify ). Today I'm listenin...
