I've read that the '77 show at Cornell was one of their best. A bunch of my friends were there; I was neck deep in a computer science project and did not attend. I barely managed to avoid getting high walking past the line outside the venue on my way to lab.

5-8-77 Barton Hall, Cornell is considered to be one of their best and it's certainly one of the most famous. A copy is in the Library of Congress. I think that 5-7-77 Boston and 5-9-77 Buffalo are just as good. All of spring '77 they were on fire. I'd argue that 5-22-77 is the best of May 77.

There is some debate over why 5-8-77 gets almost all of the attention. An entire 350 page book was written by Peter Conner on the Cornell show. I've forgotten the exact explanation but for some reason there were a lot of high quality bootlegs of that show around. There were not as many from other shows in the May '77 run. For unknown reasons bootlegs from the other shows were harder to find and the recording quality not as good.

Oh and during the 77 show it started snowing out. I hear it was a real mess when the concert ended dealing with the snow.

Cornell '77 was for sure one of the first several good quality bootlegs I got when I started collecting tapes. Why Cornell? I really don't know.

But I hear that Barton Hall still has one of the worst acoustics as a venue. I think Bob Weir described is as playing inside a tin can or something like that. Dead and Co played there May 8 2023. We watched the stream.

Yikes. Flat reflective surfaces, some directly opposed … a sure fire recipe for a sound so muddy as to be indistinguishable from resulting headache. They should have at least hung some absorbing surfaces from the ceiling.
Presumably the stream you watched took sound from the board, not the air.

It's funny that this very question came up on Reddit today.

Barton Hall was made for athletic events (basketball, indoor track, etc.). Terrible for sound.

Snow, in May, in Ithaca? I’m shocked. 🤣

Oh, I've GOT to get that one for my wife. Getting her to throw anything out is a chore. Every year she spends hour upon hour to to have a garage sale. Last year I think she made less than 25 bucks. Probably a buck an hour for all her work.

??? I made $800 at my garage-sale this past June. I consider them 'Easy Money For Low Effort'!

My wife keeps putting out the same crap that nobody wanted last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.

In my younger days, I could naively be enticed to make the equivalent of a buck an hour to help a friend pack and move their shit to a new apartment with the promise of "Free Pizza & Coors" at the end of the day. Oh boy, what a deal!!:dancing:

I thought cows liked to be milked, and get testy if you forget to milk them.
I once saw a TV documentary about an automatic milking system. (can't find it now)
Unaided, one by one, cows would board this large carousel, the machine would find and attach to their teats, and finish by the time it made a complete revolution. the suckers would then fall off and the cow would exit. All without humans.
A single self-service milker. 3minutes:

A 60 stall carousel auto milker. (Not the vid I saw months ago) These folks prefer to heard their cows in.
17 minutes (but cued-up to the12 minute mark)
