I have one of those 70mm in theater recordings, I did one in San Diego and my wife did one in D.C. (long before we were married). She has found hers and I’m still digging for mine.
Just bought a tape deck from e-bay. My old one died years ago and I never replaced it.
Anyway, once the new deck arrives what is the best way to digitize the audio?

Wow, this is fantastic! I knew they were out there, but I didn't expect someone to find one (or two) so fast!
As far as capuring goes, when I captured my 'Story of' cassettes, I used a cable similar to this one and ran it from my cassette deck into my sound card. There are a variety of programs you can use to record. The link Russ posted should help too.

Both are the original Star Wars, one in May of '77 and the other in early '78. Yes, they are both "snuck-in" open air recordings with the real life "Laugh Track"

Are you absolutely certain you were both at 70mm presentations? According to this article, Star Wars first ran in 35mm in both San Diego and D.C. and was later upgraded to 70mm. The 70mm showings began Dec. 16, 1977 in D.C. and Feb. 10, 1978 in San Diego. So, the May of '77 recording may be 35mm. Do you remember what theaters you were at?
