    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.

    Sorry to hear about David Lindley. I saw him with Jackson Browne in 75ish, playing guitar, fiddle, lap steel, pretty well anything with strings! The man had great chops.

    What an incredible musician. I saw him play at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley many years ago.

    Jolene is my favorite Dolly Parton album - the only complaint is every song is under 3 minutes so just as i'm getting settled i have to get up again (i know, first world problems).

    Back in 2005 (i think?) I went to a White Stripes concert in Berkeley and they played the song Jolene. Thought it was pretty cool.

    Wow, we just talked about this tune at the store last night.

    I was like, I only know one Dolly song,,,, Coat of Many Colors.

    My bud like, you have to know Jolene?!?

    I said no, we played. But while searching "the Tube", found a group called "The Petersens". A family group doing Jolene. The woman singer (one of the Petersens) had a very nice voice.

    Bored, check the tube for the petersens and Jolene. ( Filmed in the family living room)

    Take heart - Philly is a great sports town. The Flyers will rebuild, and they certainly always have a few elite players that make them watchable. If nothing else, they have the best coach in the league for sound bites. The stuff that Torts says is hilarious, and his blow ups with the press should be released on DVD. This guy could start a fist fight in an empty room. Better days ahead.

    As for this DaP release, you are right - it’s fantastic. Two shows of pretty prime Dead. Pennies from Heaven. Or is that Go To Heaven?

    Only got to see him once in 1983.
    Small venue called the Rainbow Music Hall at Monaco & Evans in Denver. Ticket says $10.20; how did they make a living at that price? Victor Bailey on bass by then. Excellent show and close up being a small venue. Band was on, especially Joe Z. Wayne was great but somewhat subdued, but they did do a couple of his own songs that I did not recognize. Went with some rockers who had never seen good jazz. They were suitably impressed.
    Cheers to Wayne

    hope everyone has a great weekend. All this talk of hockey makes me jealous and slightly bitter that the Flyers are a shell of their former selves. Used to be a proud franchise that you could count on being in the playoffs most years but now they are so bad and so boring (and have been for a decade) that they are practically irrelevant in this town.

    I never saw him, just listened to him on various albums. The ones I have most played have been the Miles Davis Quintet box set from 1965- 1968, covering the albums from ESP to Miles In The Sky-with various tracks from compilation albums, outtakes etc. Bamboozling, but great. Some great live cds from the same band and timespan, too - my favourite there being the Bootleg Series 1. - Live in Europe 1967. "Live At The Plugged Nickel", from 1965, is another classic.
    He also played on The Stones "How Do I Stop" off Bridges To Babylon.
    He doesn't feature on my last 5 though - dig this -
    Flying Teapot - Gong
    Future Days - Can
    Kings of Oblivion - Pink Fairies
    Wattstax Complete Concert cd1. - Various
    Live at the BBC 1973 - Focus

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.
