would come back to Cornell and play at Barton Hall, and do so while supporting the Cornell 2030 Project and MusiCares on their farewell tour, is truly special,” said Rob Klein ’97, an ILR major and a longtime fan of the Grateful Dead and Dead & Company, who was instrumental in organizing the upcoming show via his professional networks in the sports media entertainment industry.īarton Hall, with around 4,800 seats, is far smaller than the 40,000-seat stadiums and amphitheaters the band will play on its final tour, and demand for the show is expected to far outstrip supply. “The legacy of the 5/8/77 show is well-known to fans around the world. The concert – brought to campus by Alumni Affairs and Development – will be a fundraiser for Cornell’s 2030 Project, to develop and accelerate tangible solutions to climate change, and MusiCares, a nonprofit established in 1989 by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences to support the health and welfare of music industry professionals. ’84, The Grateful Dead at Barton Hall in 1977.
