July 1978: The Complete Recordings is a live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. Packaged as a box set, and produced as a limited edition of 15,000 copies, it contains five complete concerts on twelve CDs. It was released on May 13, 2016.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
July 7, 1978 was the band's first appearance at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre (there were actually four dates in succession at the venue, with the band taking a seven-week break halfway in between for the recording of Shakedown Street). They would go on to play annual runs at Red Rocks through 1987, missing only 1980, 1981, and 1986. An additional date was originally scheduled for Milwaukee Summerfest, on July 2, but had to be cancelled. Though relatively short, this is the third complete tour to be officially released by the band, following the twenty two-date tour of Western Europe in 1972, and the sixteen-date winter / spring 1990 tour of the eastern United States.
The concerts were recorded by audio engineer Betty Cantor-Jackson. They are among a number of soundboard recordings by Cantor-Jackson — known as "Betty boards" — that were long missing from the Grateful Dead's vault of concert recordings. The tapes eventually were returned to the band, and production of the album began some months later.[6][9]
