    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

    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.

    ....the Presidents Cup winner doesn't have a very good track record in the playoffs.
    Just sayin'.
    Looking like it's going to be Vegas / Winnipeg in the first round. I'll take that. Mark Stone is skating with the team again.
    Good lord. My Avs loving cousin just won't shut up. If I give you his cell phone #, will you text him and tell him to slow his roll? Thanks.

    Ok Jack, there is two of us. Maybe it is just overexposure to the song. I think I read in the Dead Encyclopedia that Uncle was the most played song by the Dead, but maybe Doc or BTK can verify that. Not an awful song, just “Meh”.

    As for Woll, he is a good one. The Bruins, I totally get what you mean, but no denying they are killing it. But as I told Oro, I try to manage my expectations with the Leafs, easier that way when they fold like a hardware store tent on Everest. Tampa first. Agree on the Pens, but 17 straight years in the playoffs is quite a record. Sorry Sid.

    Is my favorite of all the cowboy songs that I don’t like.

    I watched the Avs/Oilers game last night. Man, those two teams are good. In all likelihood, they should meet up to see who moves on to the Stanley Cup finals. It’s a shame that one of them will have to lose.

    Mike - your boy Woll looked pretty good in net.

    The playoffs haven’t even started yet and I’m already sick of all the Bruins fans yapping away on sports talk radio. You know your assignment, Mike. Good luck and don’t let us all down.

    My apologies to Canadaland, but I’ll be pulling for the Islanders tonight against the Canadiens. I need the Penguins out.

    Hey Oro - As a Leaf fan for 60+ years, I’ve come to manage my expectations. Never take stairs two at a time, if you know what I mean. The fun starts next week. Get your bets in boys. The REAL season is about to start.

    Wang Dang Doodle, indeed! I must be alone in my dislike for “Me And My Uncle”? I think it just always sounds The Same. Same tempo, same rhythm, same inflection in Bobby’s voice.

    Sweet Leafs? I like it, Proudfoot! Now THAT would make a nice T-shirt!

    One way or another looks like it’s gonna be a hell of a series.
    After last year, and last night, phew, if they do end up playing each other…gulp.
    Phuching Bolts always make me scared. No matter what they seem, as soon as their in the dance, watch out!
    Hopefully, this will be the year that all changes.

    Love Alabama Getaway, always! It’s their Chuck Berry song.

    Love Wang Dang, one of the “Bob” songs I’m not sick of lol
    Me & My Uncle, great song, played way too much. In fact Bob always played his shit too much.
    Not Fade Away has gotten burnt, usually…
    Way to Go Home has gotten slightly better, but…
    Jerry, sometimes I get burnt on Tennessee Jed, Row Jimmy is totally situational. Usually like later ones better, usually…but sometimes…
    There’s a few songs…, but surprisingly not many, and all are situationally influenced.
    A credit to Mr Hunter and company that after all these decades so many songs are still so relevant etc.

    And a big howdy do to Luis and Jonathan, always good to have some new blood in the mix!

    Ja, gerne.

    If the T Maple Leafs changed their name to the Sweet Leafs, that would be cool.

    It might even win them the Stanley Cup.

    No Stanley Cup since 1967?

    Wow...

    But having grown up a Cubs fan, 56 years is "just about halfway".

    It took 108 years for a World Series win for that bunch.

    Luis - absolutely- the more inclusive the better. Maybe they will include some Dave's 45 in with 46 to help shift a few copies!

    That September 1970 show is great. I would guess that if they released a few Fall 1970 shows they would sell like hot cakes. But you never know...

    I ain't never cried in my life. Even when I was born - I just looked round the room and flipped them the bird.

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.
