    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.

    I saw him open for the Grateful Dead on New Years Eve once, he told a story about making mattresses when he was in jail.

    DSOTM

    Curious about the live November 1974 DSOTM performance as the Experience Edition of Dark Side of the Moon that was released in 2011 also included a live performance of DSOTM from November 1974 at the Empire Pool, Wembley, London. The release did not specify the date of the November 1974 show, but it was good stuff. The Experience Edition of Wish You Were Here also included some cool stuff on the bonus disc, including Shine on You Crazy Diamond, Raving and Drooling, and You've Got to Be Crazy all live at Wembley, November 1974, and a cool version of Wish You Were Here with Stephane Grappelli on violin.

    Looking forward to DaP 45, pretty cool that they included a fourth disc to give us both full shows.

    I've been chomping on the bit for that release to come to fruition since an article in the Allman Brothers fanzine "Hittin' The Note" from back in the 90s had an interview between tour mystic Kirk West and Dick Latvala discussing plans to release the Allman/Dead RFK shows 73 shows. That would make a glorious set.

    The earlier Pink Floyd albums have stood the test of time better for me. I enjoyed them more at the time, too, for that matter.
    That Avalon 1969 box set suggested by Billy sounds good, though. Move over rover, and let Billy take over.

    Heard about the midnight rambler?

    HF - "Duwayne" sounds a bit of a nuisance, but she seems alright. While he was playing cards, I'd steal his mistress from under his nose. Well, I would if I was 40 years younger.
    They really are making a killing, these bands with their umpteenth releases of old albums. I still get some.. I nearly bought the remastered Bowie album "The Man Who Sold The World" recently. Now called "The Metrabolist" or something - but the same old album I have bought several times in the past. Last re-released in 2015. I've got a few copies of Let It Bleed knocking about, too.

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.
