An Afternoon and Evening Immersed in Music, Nature, Community and Love
Featuring a Grateful Dead tribute concert, ono eats and drinks, full bar, cosmic makers market (apparel, art, elixirs, jewelry and more) and a sea of aloha - all at a wonderful, open-air venue surrounded by nature’s beauty.

In 1977, the Grateful Dead were on fire. They debuted “Fire On The Mountain” on March 18, 1977 and went on to play one stellar show after another - all drenched in groovy 70’s vibes and recorded by the one and only Betty Cantor-Jackson (the famed “Betty Boards”). One such concert was Boston Garden, May 7, 1977 - Bill Kreutzmann’s 31st birthday and the night before the Dead ignited Barton Hall at Cornell University.

While Barton Hall is widely hailed as the Dead’s greatest concert ever, some prefer the night before at Boston Garden, and we won’t argue with that. We are thrilled that every 7 in the universe aligned and enabled us to gather at such a special place and celebrate Bill, the boys, Boston Garden ‘77 and the entire Grateful Dead ohana. How lucky we are!!!

When you listen to the Dead’s May 7, 1977 concert, the exuberance of each and every band member is palpable. We are equally exuberant about May 7, 2023 and being able to assemble in one of the greatest gathering places and outdoor venues in Hawai‘i. Centrally located, bountiful free parking, premium tailgate locations, stunning views of Diamond Head, beautiful beaches nearby, and best of all, a wonderful vibe. We’ve spent countless days competing and barbecuing at Kapi‘olani Park. Every time we step foot in the park, we feel welcome, connected and joyful. It’s the perfect place to meet up with friends and maximize stoke for the Lucky 7 musical celebration.

Upon walking in the gate at the Waikīkī Shell property, you will quickly find yourself in an intimate amphitheater with grandstands rising up around a central lawn and stage - a fantastic environment for both blissful dancing and focused listening. Just around the corner under expansive Monkeypod Trees, Lucky 7’s Makers Market and food & beverage purveyors will display, sell and serve a host of goodies sure to inspire and elevate, including Veek’s onolicious burgers & chili (vegan & a 5-star Yelp rating), Tacos De Cacheton, Banan pops and hypnotic apparel, art, jewelry and more by Psychonautica Dyes, Ananda Madhavi, Kate Barry Art, Regis Carvings, Spooky Girl Art, Island Awakening, The Fringy Hippie, Passion X Portal and Ziggy’s Grateful Merch. Enlightened Reality will also be onsite offering herbal tea blends, astrology readings and intentional sprays.

THE STEPHEN
INGLIS PROJECT

Hawaii guitar great, Stephen Inglis, brings his band (“The Stephen Inglis Project”) to Waikīkī Shell Amphitheater ready to honor and celebrate the Grateful Dead and the robust history, beauty and opportunity encapsulated in May 7. The 7-piece band features Inglis (lead guitar (electric), vocals), Eric Petersen (bass, vocals), Steven Howells (drums), Alan Okuye (keyboards), Ginai Hill (vocals, percussion), Michael Shapiro (rhythm guitar) and Todd Yukumoto (saxophones).

Inglis is a world-class guitarist with deep insight into the Dead. When just 22 years old, Inglis served as lead guitarist in “House of Spirits” – a 1990’s band headed up by Bill Kreutzmann (the Dead’s founding and forever drummer). Inglis’ 2018 album, “Cut The Dead Some Slack,” is comprised entirely of songs from the Dead’s cannon, mostly performed in slack key fashion. Dennis McNally, *the* publicist for the Dead from ‘84 thru ‘95, supported the release of Inglis’ stellar album which garnered much attention nationally including frequent praise and spins from David Gans on his iconic radio show, “The Grateful Dead Hour.”

On Sunday, May 7th, as the late afternoon sun lights Diamond Head crater in a golden glow, The Stephen Inglis Project will take the stage at the Waikīkī Shell Amphitheater and transport us to another time and place.

NOTHING LEFT TO DO BUT SMILE, SMILE, SMILE!
