    What a setlist!... Made me jealous of those who saw this era live. Great sound… like ‘77 was yesterday. @derekb192 on 10/1/77, YouTube

    Wow! Just as when you think eyes is gonna go to drums out of the bliss comes dancing! One of my all time fave moments! Not just classic 77 but classic ever dead! - @emrysdavies1215 on 10/1/77, YouTube

    ...this show was off the hook from the very get go. The Casey Jones is the best I've heard... beginning a jam that goes through each member going off on an instrumental solo. The end has them jamming so hard you can no longer hear them singing through it. Now you know you're in trouble (The Good Kind) when a show starts like that... Weirtheir on 10/2/77, Dead.net

    Holy hell, the 10/2/77 Betty Board sounds incredible... I just wanted to pay homage to this unreleased gem, which features the lovely, tight playing you'd expect of a 77 show with some of the highest audio quality I've ever heard ... What a treat. u/monsteroftheweek13 on 10/2/77, Reddit

    I told my mother I was going into Portland with friends. I never told her where I went... @jamesmoore3694 on 10/1/77, YouTube

    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.

    *2 per order. Very limited quantity available.

    Found Inventory

    I read that as them saying the Get Shown the Light was the "found inventory" not the vinyl. But it doesn't really explain why they thought to press more vinyl of Cornell. Wasn't that a limited numbered one when last put out?

    Don't miss out folks

    Maybe they are trying to cover up their mistake by pretending it's something new, which you have to pre-order so you don't miss out. It's the Holy Grail of Dead shows now, according to the blurb.

    If they "found" new inventory now, why are they a pre order with a May shipping date? Don't you think TPTB would want to get rid of the remaining stock, immediately? it just doesn't add up to me.

    Dark Side of the Mule

    Got our tickets today for Dark Side of the Mule at Red Rocks. For those not in the know (assuming one cares), Google it. Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience opening. I saw Warren the last time he brought the Dark Side to the Rocks and it was fucking fantastic, inasmuch as I can remember. We had a pow-wow in the parking lot up top. My friend has a handicapped parking pass, and they waived our car into a coned off area as we broke out the camping chairs and coolers. Bruce brought THC infused vodka jello shots... I distinctly remember sitting in the sun with my car trunk open, blasting Aerosmith's "Toys in the Attic" followed by Zeppelin's best of "Mothership."

    It felt like high school... we were fucked up and riotous. One thing about the crowds at Red Rocks, I swear to God it is always the friendliest bunch of people you'll ever meet. Like, everyone is kind.

    I'm sick tired of getting fucked over by TicketBastard for these shows. Today, I hit back. I don't mind sharing this. I was at work and I fired up three different computers and opened both Chrome and Edge on them all, so I had six browsers open and got them all into the waiting room. The room where I usually go to die... I missed Tom Petty's last tour due to this evil! Anyway, there was a limit of 4 tickets per purchase and we have five going including two flying in from California so I could not fuck this up. I got in for four in Row 27 and then again for one more in Row 25.

    I feel truly blessed. The 3rd best concert ticket buying experience of my life, after drawing spot #2 in line outside Macy's for Rolling Stones tickets in the mid 90s, and showing up with beers and joints in front of a Colorado Springs music store at 4am prior to SRV's final tour with Joe Cocker. We were first.

    .... you'd think it was the size of the warehouse at the end of Indiana Jones.

    Your answer is in the email:

    “CORNELL 5LP set and a handful of MAY 1977: GET SHOWN THE LIGHT (ALL MUSIC EDITION) 11CD sets that we recently unearthed at the warehouse.”

    They don’t have very good warehouse management skills.
    Similar happened several years ago but I don’t remember what release it was.

    Maybe DaP45 is in fact sold out but they don’t realize it.

Chill with lambasting the sound quality of Dave's 45. If you only listen to the first two tracks (Promised Land & They Love Each Other), as Dave himself explains on the Seaside Chat, you're listening to Bob Menke's audience recording. There's no soundboard of those two tracks and Bob kindly provided his tape. Some have said that the Smith/Miller/Clugston aud (140589) on the Archive is a little better than the Menke. In any case, once you get past those two, you're hearing "recently" recovered Betty Boards from the stash of soundboards returned by ABCD Enterprises. The changeover to soundboard actually happens before the end of They Love Each Other. Check out Dave's Seaside Chat for more.

The two shows on Dave's 45's 4 CDs are great sounding once they reach cruising altitude.

I get where you're coming from. My main complaint on sound on many DiPs and DaPs is the drums are too loud. I used to blame Mickey for being involved in the remastering, lol. But to have two shows for the price of one totally outweighs the defects, and frankly that's what the tone controls are for on our stereos. And I also applaud Dave for being brave enough to get us the two shows with an aud. patch at the beginning. Patches are something they don't do very often and only when it's worth it. Especially, these two shows are so worth it. Don't give up on it.
Cheers

I remember getting this on cassette in the late 80s and loved both shows even if there was "some" missing. I have listened to this release several times and I love it. My question is: how is this still available? I've noticed the last few Dave's releases have been selling at a slower pace than just a few years ago. Just wondering, maybe the uptick to 25,000 units was a bit much? Anyway, have a safe happy holiday.
