    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 have a friend who has an annual volunteer gig at the Hockey Hall of Fame for induction night, and he got me in a few times to help. Basically, you put on a suit and get all the money people to bid on silent auction stuff (autographed sticks, etc, shit really), but it was a chance for free food and drink, and to chat up the rich gals. One year Langway was there, and he asked us abruptly where the washroom was. This guy is a giant, so we were all Ralph Kramden Homina Homina and just pointed to it, like we were mutes. Fun meeting a lot of the greats, but he was kind of “in a mood”. I think he was with Washington, not Jersey. Are you thinking of Ken Danyko, another real beast?
    Another great New Jersey guy - Scott Niedermeyer. New Jersey were the real deal then.
    Scott Stevens - the meanest and most skilled body checker since Tim Horton. Pure Shrek.

    couldn't find available, only listings. UK people seem to be saying 112 pounds,,, could not find american cost or ordering info.

    Was surprised there was none in my collection. My 2 minute youtoob search sounded nice and something I should get.

    Waiting to see.

    Record Store Day on Saturday!!! At least 3 thing I want :-)

    …Love the Scott Stevens reference. Seeing Scott and (an aging) Rod Langway on the ice together was one highlight of my ‘80’s mad, crazy love affair with hockey. Defense at it’s finest.

    Wow

    Didn’t see all that coming!
    As Chris Berman would say “that’s why they play the game”
    But really, if you think clearly, none of it should be too big a surprise. I don’t think anyones just gonna waltz on through this year.
    Ok, maybe 7-3 drubbing was a surprise, but it is the Bolts, and it is the playoffs, and when you keep coughing up the biscuit in your zone….perhaps a few too many dumb penalties? I think AJS hit it: they were caught off guard and not quite ready for prime time. So yeah Mike, get these bastards to the church on time, ffs, we’re counting on ya! ; )
    AVS played well, but Just Couldn’t Get things to click, could have easily been 5-2 AVs. But as I’ve said, the AVs are good, but they can be beat.
    What I really wanna know is what the hell happened with the Knights? Didn’t get to see much of that game so wonder if it was as unbalanced as the score? And da Rangers beat up on the red hot Devils? Pshhaaaw
    Yeah, just wow! Cool, nerve racking, but cool, that almost any of these teams could advance, gonna be some great games this year!
    It’s not fun when the same teams just skate (pun intended) through the others every year, yawn….though unfortunately looks like the Bs will likely do that.

    I’ve always said, if you could take a Baseball player, a basketball player, a football player, and a hockey player, and give them the exact same injury: the hockey player would be back in six minutes, football six days, basketball six weeks, and baseball six months…

    Hey AJS, forgot to say thanks. Found a Dicks 13 reasonably priced via your intel, TANKS!

    46? Wonder if they’ll drag it out until the first or second and not ship until then?
    I’m with Conekid, ship it to subscribers the same day you put it up for Ala carte, like yesterday…
    Maybe Friday, sometimes they do stuff on Fridays.
    Poor Hendrixfreak could die by then.
    Stop the madness #savethefreak to push these evil bastardos to do the right thing!

    Damnation, more snow piling up on my gloomy hockey hangover lol

    Jack - Duncan Keith was maybe the 2nd toughest guy to play in the modern era, next to Scott Stevens. Fierce, tough, and like you said, loses 7 teeth, and is out playing in minutes. Not a guy you want to piss off. Wow.
    With the Craptors already finished for the season, and the Boo Jays having some pitching issues, I need these Leafs to step up.

    A nice Jack Straw from NY, NY in 1972 this morning took away the gloom. Such a grate tune when the Dead pick up the pace a bit on it.

    New (live) Dylan ordered. Thanks Dennis. I used to have that John Stewart CD - Bombs Away Dream Babies (I think), but I think it was liberated by one of my friends, or I left it somewhere. Nicks sang on a couple of songs, if memory serves me. Regardless, it’s gone.

    Yeah, the announcers referred to him as an agitator. Which is I guess is the politically correct way of calling you an Ahole.

    That play with Barron of the Jets was tough to watch. Nevertheless, it should be mandatory viewing for all NBA players or you forfeit your salary. I know Vguy pointed to the NFL, but the NBA is the worst. I called them out last week after the Rangers game.

    Don't forget Duncan Keith, who lost seven teeth after taking a shot to the mouth and was back out there playing in under ten minutes.

    A rough night indeed for all the favorites. Better luck tonight to everyone other than Boston.

    Bobby got a new pre-order out,,,, Shadow Kingdom. Vinyl and CD.

    Yeah, I got both.

    Hope I haven't posted this yet,,,, I'm getting forgetful in my old age :-)

    Sidenote - Stuff goes by in life and maybe you don't think about it for years. The other day on a local radio station, heard a nice bass line at start of song. Refrain line,,,, "people out there turning music into gold". I kind of remembered the line from back in the day. I thought it sounded like Fleetwood Mac,,, thought for sure I heard Stevie Nicks. Get home and check and not Fleetwood Mac, but it was Stevie Nicks. Lead guy was John Stewart. I was shocked, shocked I tell you, to find out this was one of the early members of the Kingston Trio!

    I'm sure a lot of you knew this and can't believe I didn't. But there you have 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.
