Take a closer look inside of our numbered, limited-edition boxed set May 1977 with listening parties, videos, artwork and more from each featured show.

Los Angeles-based trio The Record Company may all come from different places, but as the story goes it was the Grateful Dead (specifically Pigpen and Jerry's Old and In The Way) that brought them together. We snagged 5 minutes with these blues brothers just before they embarked on their summer tour. Read the interview here.
