    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.

    DSOTM Planetarium Tour

    From Live For Live Music:

    ========
    Back on February 27th, 1973, EMI Records convened a press conference to announce The Dark Side of the Moon. In order to deliver the full effect of the transformative album, the conference was held at the London Planetarium with the music broadcast beneath a sea of stars. The album became a staple of laser rock shows throughout the following decades, and to celebrate this latest milestone Pink Floyd has curated an official dome experience pairing 42 minutes of The Dark Side of the Moon with visuals of the solar system and beyond. The experience will arrive in planetariums around the world in March

    An FYI from Dave’s chat:
    The first 2 songs from 10/1/77 are from an AUD source (Bob Menke).
    By the 3rd song Betty had fixed the problem, but the first 2 songs weren’t releasable.

    Another tidbit of info from Dave (something I didn’t know) was that Betty used noise reduction for Spring ‘77 but didn’t use it in the Fall.

    Saw him many times with S and N. However, the most memorable was 1986 New Year’s when he opened up for the Dead. Very sad day. RIP.

    We were huge Floyd fans, starting in 1970, before we eventually morphed into Deadheads. Still listen to DSOTM, WYWH, and live early stuff. Not for everybody, that's for sure...............

    I would hazard a guess and say that the November 74 Wembley that will go with the "new" Dark Side will be the November 16 show, which was broadacast on the BBC and widely bootlegged, but I could be wrong............

    Saw him a number of times, solo and with…
    Just watched his most recently released video over the Christmas holiday (Live At The Capital Theatre), and will consider “If I Could Only Remember My Name” as a desert island disc. A great supporter of the Dead. He had that quote from years ago that still makes me laugh:
    “ I don’t know what it is, man. Like, they’re magic. Something happens when the Dead get it on that don’t happen when Percy Faith gets it on.”

    I'm very sad to hear about David's passing. He was a one of our locals, and I 'd see him at a lot of shows and got to know him a little. Just next month he was planning a show here at the Lobero Theater. My friend, Chris Stills, was going to play in his band at this show. I just hope this show somehow gets transformed into a really great Santa Barbara sendoff for this great folk/rock innovator. Fare thee well, David.

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.
