    We know where you've been and we're taking you back with the twice as nice DAVE'S PICKS VOLUME 45: PARAMOUNT THEATRE, PORTLAND, OR - 10/1/77 & 10/2/77. Back-to-back complete previously unreleased shows on 4CDs? You betcha! Why? Because we couldn't pick one over the other of these two nights that have been described as "fire," "mind-frying," and "crispy" (bit of a theme here) too many times to count. Witness it for yourself when you dig into the inventive medleys and pristine sound, not to mention the first "Dupree's Diamond Blues" since '69 and the first live "Casey Jones" since '74.

    Limited to 25,000 numbered copies, this release was recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson (with a boost from Bob Menke, more about that in David's video) and has been mastered to HDCD specs by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering. Grab a copy while you can.

    Agree on Unbroken Chain, ALWAYS loved that cut. That long whistling sound that moves from left to right :-)
    Great imagining on that bad boy,,,,, truley great studio work.

    Also hard to beat the studio work on Terrapin.

    A Zen enigma: what is two cents worth?

    I'll take the plunge on GD records and re-issues.

    I'm an Anthem thru Blues for Allah man. Never bought another studio album after Blues. Full disclosure: I've made road CD setlists of the very best post-Blues albums.

    Wake of the Flood is a special one for me because I tripped out heavily from fall '72 to fall '73 on the songs from that album played live at -- let's see -- seven shows in that period. Not a big number, but a heavy impact of the band's live prime on a 15-16 year old fan who hitchhiked hundreds of miles for many of those shows. I acknowledge that the production on Wake is not as powerful as, say, Mars Hotel -- wonder if a remix/remaster might put a bit of muscle into the sound?

    In any case, I never get into rankings or desert island choices because the album I'm listening to at the moment is the best and I don't do cruises, and if I did, what would I be doing with records in my luggage? If you're taking records to a desert island, ya bettah have a generator and a killer sound system, eh?

    Also, as pointed out by my fellow sages here, WotF will be re-released this year no matter what we say. The only questions are: will it be remixed? will there be related studio jams released? what will the live companion tracks consist of? And, of course, what's the price tag?

    Here we are, 50 years later, and I'm eagerly awaiting answers to these questions. (As well as, what's in the new box, Dave?)

    Fantastic show to end an incredible run. I wonder when the record is coming out.? Thank God that these tapes didn't get erased like some of the 1980 Warfield tapes did.

    Everything is true

    It's obviously very subjective, our liking of certain albums. For me, the ones between and including the First album and Europe 72 are all massively underrated. Anthem and American Beauty are my favourites - but they are all excellent. Blues For Allah too. Many of those albums have the best versions - or should I say my personal favourite versions of songs that I have ever heard. Live Dead and American Beauty both contain many all time best versions of songs for me.
    But after that, although some albums may contain great songs, they are nearly always surpassed by live versions of those songs. Wake of the Flood - I think all that was better played live.
    Mars Hotel is more interesting for the Phil Lesh songs-especially Unbroken Chain. And I liked the spooky feel of China Doll. But it's also got a couple of howlers on it. I never feel like listening to it. Or Wake, or the post Blues For Allah ones.

    I guess we are discussing what albums deserve a special re-release (or 50'th) party? I don't think we get to choose. It's really just marketing mumbojumbo, buy it if you like.. or not..

    But perhaps there is a historical perspective that could or should be recognized.

    They were a live band, but their albums, I think, are historically under-rated and worthy. Some are even classics but rarely did well at the box office on release day. Perhaps their weakness was their leaderless approach.. Keith and Donna both have a song, Brent has several, Garcia and Weir have the most but with few exceptions (Anthem comes to mind) their albums lack a cohesive story because everyone had their finger in the pie. And so it is, that's who they were and why their live jams soared so high, they listened to each other.

    To me, their creative peak was 67 through 69 maybe into 1970, but I think their song writing peak came after that, certainly including WMD and AB, but add all the 'GD records' albums to that list (Wake through Blues for Allah) and I would extend that into the Arista period. I really do like Anthem though; it might just be my fav. I don't know man, Eyes of the World comes to mind, Stella Blue, WRS, Wake might or might not be a great album but it's an album thjta has great songs on it. It's really been decades since I listened to it start to finish, but songs come on the radio and that's enough for me.

    Unbroken Chain might just be one of the best album songs they ever wrote and released. It took them another 20 years to figure out how to play it live (and by then, it was really too late).

    I treat their albums like kids.. no favorites, but from day to day we enjoy some more than others. Even albums I used to loath surprise me sometimes. No, sadly.. (or perhaps gladly), the Grateful Dead did not produce Steely Dan or Beatles type albums. But they sure did make my jaw drop to the ground live and their albums, I believe, are a tad under-rated.

    No offense meant, just a counter point. As you were.

    The bean counters don’t care about releasing “anniversary editions” on time for significant albums. Even when they attempt to do that, it seems something always ‘comes up’ that delays the release. Pink Floyd Animals ring a bell??
    As long as they get their sales, they don’t give a flying crap about a ‘commemorative release’.

    I’m kind of with DAVEROCK about the Dead titles. Mars Hotel & Go To Heaven get NO play in this house. Of course, if they came with a complete concert as ‘bonus material’, the Dead will get my money. I’m all in for Wake, Allah, & Terrapin. I’m 1/2 in for Shakedown.
    Right now, I’m ready to get my latest Zappa release on Friday. Mudd Club/Munich, 1980. No matter how much music I own, I ALWAYS need more!!

    When I Was 17, It Was a Very Good Year

    I’ve sometimes thought that 1972 might’ve been the Greatest Year in the History of Rock. Several of the greatest bands and artists made their greatest albums: The Stones’ Exile, Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust, Sabbath’s Vol 4, Can’s Ege Bamyasi, not to mention Lou Reed’s Transformer, Neil Young’s Harvest, Rundgren's Something/Anything. Stevie Wonder’s Talking Book, the Allmans Eat a Peach. And of course Europe ’72. And they were all touring.

    But then there’s 1973: Dark Side of the Moon, Houses of the Holy, Quadrophenia, Stevie’s Innervisions, King Crimson Larks Tongues in Aspic, the Stooges Raw Power, Sextant AND Chameleon from Herbie H, Birds of Fire from Mahavishnu, Toots and Maytals Funky Kingston. And Bear’s Choice and Wake of the Flood.

    I mean, holy shit. There’s a reason people say music was better back in the day. And being as I was just then getting into music, I just assumed it would always be that way. Little did I know ...

    I have to admit having a soft spot for Wake. I admit it’s not that great of a record, but man did I love it when it came out. I’m assuming they’ll do some sort of anniversary release, hopefully with a live show. I think Blues for Allah is really the one to look forward to: given that it was basically put together entirely in the studio (and given that it’s one their very best studio albums, IMO) there’s probably a fair number of outtakes and jams they could release.

    And Daverock’s totally right: you don’t HAVE to wait for an anniversary to release this stuff. Other bands and artists with extensive archival release programs (Allmans, Neil, Crimson, to name a few) just release stuff whenever the hell they want. So what I’m saying is: Hey, Dave? Just go nuts, OK?

Only Dave's picks I've seen last a week, which is a bit of a shock to be honest. I've gotten them all from 30 on and this is probably my most anticipated show to be released. No doubt there have been some good ones since then but I thought this one would be gone quickly

RT Vol. 1 No. 1, 1979 - Interesting sound on this. Very dynamic and heavy on the midrange? Vocals not so much. Brent's electric piano (synth?) so bright and loud it hurts. Phil sounds good though.

Glad to hear that folks are getting their Dave's Picks 45 in the mail. I got a shipping notification 5 days ago, but if I click on the tracking number USPS still says they are waiting for the package. This has happened before and I've come home and found the package waiting for me, so who knows.

Thanks to all who've weighed in on why this Pick isn't sold out. Anecdotally I've often found that people wax lyrical about Spring '77 but don't seem to have the same affinity for Fall, so maybe that's a factor. IDK. I just know that I was enjoying the heck out of Dave's Vol 25 yesterday. Pulling out 23 today just to listen to it while it's still January...

Istshow - great quote by Groucho Marx. Filched by The Cramps for the opening line of their classic " No Club Lone Wolf".

Paste that tracking number into the UPS system.
Mine tracked all the way with UPS until it was handed off to USPS.
At that point the USPS system tracked it until it was put in my mailbox today.

Started with 10-2 set 2 since I had a pretty good cassette copy of that show and know it well.

Sounds grate!
And waaaaaay better than the opera.

Thanks ICECRMCNKD -- you were spot on, UPS has my package. Looks like they only took possession today but as it's already in California I should have it fairly quickly now. Good tip, thank you!

And wow small world- I was also figuring I'd start with 10/2, and for the same reason. Cheers

UPS tells me "A delivery date will be provided as soon as possible", the same message since 1/25/23. USPS just says Status not available. If I hadn't had three prior bouts with Dave's Picks being lost in transit and taking months to get resolved, I'd be less anxious about it. Not too encouraged seeing the shipping address is missing my apartment number, which my billing info definitely has as it's listed twice on the order status page at deadnet. Oh well, plenty of Dead to listen to...

Last five as best as I can recall:
GOGD 5/17/77 and 5/15/77
Jazz is Dead 4/14/99
Peter Gabriel Secret World Live I suppose watching a concert film counts
And GOGD DaP 45 Listening Party followed by my own Listening Party to 9/9/72 The Other One, which was a relisten as I listened to it when it was announced, curious at a 34 min Other One a week after the 9/3/72 Folsom one that is filler on DiP 36 9/21/72. It more than delivered, but this time I let the Stella Blue play, and I normally don't care much for '72 Stellas, as they just haven't yet found it, and it's almost exactly perfect in '73; but this one was fantastic. Phil is all over it. Far better than the one 2 weeks before on DaP 24 8/25/72 where Jerry is still searching for the vocal and the guitar voicing (another 30+ Other One on that one, too), but I also believe Jerry was completely wasted at that point. But anyway, I know some like to go in with virgin listens to the Normanized, I just get excited and want to hear some of the highlights of what I will hear in better quality. I also listened to Bird Song and Playing on this venture on 9/9. Saving the rest for May, I suppose.

Hope to hear more good things about DaP 45. I liked the Listening Party, except Jack Straw. Way too fast a tempo. Doesn't need to be funereal slow like Dead & Co, but I like a good loping pace to Jack Straw that builds to a fiery peak, not the double time, frenzied pace of this one. DaP 25 11/6/77 shows how by the end of the tour, they learned how to burn the place down with Jack Straw and keep it about the same tempo, just throw in more and more of the power chords.

I've also had delivery issues in the past.. this was not one of those times. Shipped notification email arrived Jan 25; package showed up today via US Mail (Jan 31). Tracking the package online was useless and seldom updated. Love the liner notes and pictures.. can't wait to spin it.

I always thought "Passenger" had a Stonesy type swagger, and I notice that's played on the first night of this set. They did seem more heavy rock to me in the second half of 1977 compared to the first.

This just popped up. Dave's 23 on 5 LPs.
I always buy the vinyl but I just listened to this and it is good but...
I better decide fast only 5000 copies.
That's what I thought about Light Into Ashes.
And I think it is still available. (Yes, and it was a 7200 copy release)
Could justify Dave's 1 on vinyl because I don't have the CD.
I'm waffling. Where is Dennis' wife's credit card?
Cheers

So I guess the Dave's Vinyl model isn't doing them all in numerical order starting with No.1. More of a pick and choose by them.

Well that was unexpected. Seems a bit of an odd choice for a release to me on the back of Daves 45, featuring shows played only two months before it. I played the cds last month and while I do think it's a great show - both sets - I can't remember thinking there was anything wrong with the sound quality that could be improved by listening to it on vinyl.
I guess buying it would be insurance if the cds become unplayable in a few years, as some of them seem to have become..but otherwise, I'm not so sure.

Ordered. Sorry 1st but that sucking sound was my wife's card being spanked to death. I would have asked her permission but she's been on a conference call. If I wait it may sell out!!!

45 is close, but Dallas is shut down for the second day since we got a 1/2 inch of snow!!! Post Office didn't even come yesterday. Looked like snow, but I guess it isn't,,,, right? Rain, hail, sleet or snow, must have be something else :-)

None of my GD CDs have what has been discussed here as "disc rot".
Most of them have never been played (or stored) in the car.
Just lucky? They have been in the dry high desert W. Colo. environment.
Hard to say. Maybe just bad pressings (are CDs pressings?) or production issues for the rotten ones?
Cheers

Edit: Thanks Dennis, I'm good. Gonna pass I'm afraid. Your DFW area looks like they drivin' in the funny papers (to quote Hoke in Driving Miss Daisy) on that ice. Just one after another piling up. Got a CO buddy who is in Ft.W and he always remarks at the lack of bad weather driving skills down there. No practice I guess! And likely no snow tires either.

Edit 2: Oro is famous! He is cited in Community Bits in the Feb. GD Bulletin currently in my inbox. Way to go Oro! And they mention it is Dave L's anniv. of 1st day working for the GD. PIc of him in his bold ski outfit and some cool looking rockered skis with bolts on them. Seen lots of different GD skis but don't know who made that newer model. Anybody know? The pic with his cat is cool too. Big ole long hair. Of course it's a longhair! Dang hippies, get off my lawn!

Got mine today. Haven't listened to it yet, but I'm very pleased that it contains both shows. Wasn't expecting them to both be complete shows. Thank you Dave.

The 10/2 post-drums section is one of my favorites of all time. Especially Wheel>Truckin>Other One - the transitions are exceptional. Yes, The Other One is brief, but that whole trifecta with the transitions is picture perfect. I can't wait to listen to it.

I have not been lurking here at all in recent months. I hope everyone is in good health and enjoying 2023 so far. Stay warm this weekend!

8-21-72 B.C.T. on GD Hour rerun this week. 1st of 4 that encompass the entire show. Interesting that David Gans can do complete shows just not all in one sitting. As I recall his earlier shows could not do whole sets either.

Hi all, I hope the crew is doing well. I got my copy yesterday and after hard jiu jitsu training session, I came home and gave it a listen. I got through CDs 1 and 2 which is the 10/1 show. As expected very much a classic 77 show. I really love that we are getting more of the fall of 77 being released simply because those shows still have 1977 Grateful Dead feel and flow (obviously), but they do differ (at least to my ears) from April and May of that year. Right now I am listening to 10/2 and I have to say there is quite the exceptional Casey Jones opener... In any case, 1977 is the year that keeps on giving.

Random things:
I have recently discovered Jethro Tull beyond the one commonly played song Aqualung that circulates through the local radio stations. Needless to say I am jumping head first down that rabbit hole.

Oro got the shoutout in the monthly Grateful Dead bulletin in the Community Bits section. Very cool!

I believe that today is the anniversary of Dave L coming on board with the Grateful Dead. All I can say to that is what I always do: Thank You Dave for everything! And when you can , how about a 1985 release pretty please?

Being from PdxS and alive then (though only 2yrs) makes this release extra special.
Thanks Dave for the Portland Oregon consideration, also for Pick #44 in Eugene!

Picked up at the PO yesterday, previewed a few last night. Audio quality preliminary (*after auds) seems excellent. Busy with prep for the bitter cold weekend, will keep warm with this full listen soon. Nice to have more October to go with DaP Dekalb and RT 1.2 releases. Reminding folks Dicks 29 has hidden tracks from October 11 show on discs 2 & 5, including a grate Wharf Rat.

Is it just me, or is the sound quality not great for the first couple of songs on Disc 1 of Dave's 45? About halfway through TLEO it gets better, but not great to start. Could be my Bose disc player acting up.

The Groundhog popped up this morning, and predicts a quick delivery of DaP 45, rather than a further six weeks waiting on delivery.

Howdy!

Depending on how rocked out you like your music, my recommendations are Thick as A Brick and Passion Play. Enjoy

PF - only 46 days until Spring - tonight, in my area, they are expecting -30 C/22 F, so I sure hope so.
I will NOT be out with my binoculars in my backyard tonight trying to see The Green Comet (Comet C/2022 E3 on its birth certificate), not seen since Neanderthals roamed the earth. It can wait a night or two.

My wife's been watching every night for a week.
Drags herself out of bed after the moon sets in bitter cold air.
She's over it now and not very impressed with Greenie.
At best it was a fuzzy blob, as comets are, but color was evasive.
That said she did not set up the little telescope, just 10x binos.
Amazed at her dedication. You go girl!
Cheers

Tull - Thick As a Brick, easily my favorite, Living In The Past comes in second. For more modern releases Rock Island and Roots And Branches weren't too bad. Oh, and Crest of a Knave was good.

Kudos to your Mrs for her dedication. You’re right, though, most of the time - with the exception of Neowise - comet gazing is a dud. Neowise was a rock star.

Just delivered. Will comment later. I listened to Dap 21 last night. Those east coast shows are hot.

Have yet to listen to 45, but it did arrive yesterday. Everyone seems pretty pumped so far....

Hey PF, I have a junior in high school, and he just wrote an essay for his English class titled something like "Why the SB 49 call was not as bad as you thought." He makes some great points, including that there was an 80% chance that play call would result in a touchdown. He goes into this "the analytics say" stuff and I'm just like, I don't give an EFF what the analytics say, you got Beast Mode, hand.off.the.ball. Kids and their analytics these days, pfttt

Jethro Tull - Benefit, Stand-up, Storm Watch, Living in the past.
Spinning 45 now, after the first two tunes, it evens out and becomes very pleasant. Mexicali with Jer shredding and the last Dire Wolf in the key of E. A Cassidy then Deal with Jerry again on top of it into a killer Passenger then back to Tennessee. Great first set here with a real pretty Peggy-O. Second set looks great too.
