On May 17, 1977, the Grateful Dead played an iconic show at the University of Alabama’s Memorial Coliseum, uniting the music of the Dead and Crimson pride in Tuscaloosa. The concert, part of the band’s famous 1977 tour, featured fan favorites like "Scarlet Begonias" and "Terrapin Station," drawing Bama students and Deadheads from across the Southeast. This performance was part of what Dave Lemieux dubbed as the tour "of consistent excellence," showcased how the Dead’s improvisational style aligned with the spirit of college sports – both fostering community, spontaneity, and celebration. The concert became a bridge between the band's southern influences on their music and pride in the Tide, reinforcing the Dead's ability to connect with diverse audiences. The energy of the show carried beyond the music, making it a cultural movement for the university and the region.  Might be time to crank up Alabama Getaway, and rock your pride for the Tide.
