    "Cause it's always like that with the Dead, you know - it's always the whole thing." - News Journal

    As we close out the 2019 Dave Pick's series, we deliver on our promise to give you the "whole thing" with the complete performance from The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA 3/24/73 and what a show it was! An upstanding "musical eulogy" to the recently departed Pigpen, the Grateful Dead conducted a potent study in contrasts on this bittersweet night. They found easy balance between tidy jams like "They Love Each Other," "Wave That Flag," "Playing In The Band," and introspective moments on "Stella Blue," "Sing Me Back Home," and a poignant "He's Gone." It was all laid down with a discipline and a polish unheard of in any of the truly exceptional shows that had come before it. Yes, you might say, they cleaned up nice to carry on the legacy as Pig would have wanted.

    Limited to 20,000 numbered copies, DAVE’S PICKS VOLUME 32: THE SPECTRUM, PHILADELPHIA, PA 3/24/73 has been mastered to HDCD specs from the 7" and 10" reels by Jeffrey Norman.

    More Fall 73

    We would be remiss if we didn't take the plunge down the 11/17/73 rabbit hole. Me and My Uncle opener than Here Comes Sunshine as the second song? It usually takes at least an hour in '73 to get into a jelly enough mood for a loose jam like HCS. Ridiculously good.

    I made it to UJB while getting the Turkey stuff and side dishes ready for tomorrow's feast before I killed it. I plan on taking in some of Washington States finest (NYPD, where do they come up with these names??) and picking things up in a few in the hot tub for the finish.

    Man.. this is surely one of my favorite 1973 shows. I rarely listen to it simply because I want it to always be special.

    As soon as I'm finished with this 9/27/72 Dark Star, which is waaaay good (check out the Phil interlude from around 20:00 =>23:00 - very strummy and chill), I'm headed to 12/2/73. If memory serves, that Wharf Rat did well on Heady Version. But it's the Rio Grandio you're talking about that I don't recall well. A journey it will be. This Dark Star is insanely good. I've been parked in my driveway for 10 minutes finishing it out.

    Pizza and suds

    Pizza and suds for Thanksgiving. I usually go to family dinner but this year it's pizza and suds and a chick I know. Very thankful.

    Trainwrecked along the thailand express

    Icecrmcnekid thanks for the heads up on the first appearance of the Bears, dancing bears that is. Can you believe I never saw the back cover. I checked it out a minute ago and sure enough there they are. I just expected it to be more red white and blue. I wouldn't have guessed they were around that long.

    If anyone else also mentioned it thank you I just haven't had a chance to go through the last few posts. I guess I've mentioned my stellar experiences with Trainwreck, huh? I didn't realize how popular it was until I started running into you fine folks here on dead net. There is even train-wrecked the dude on here who I have a feeling derived his name from just such a commodity. Yeah those were the days. I was involved in a poker game at a guy's house who lives next door to an NFL player who played with us every week. Even caught a Super Bowl touchdown pass. Anyway there was train wreck and blue dream and Sour Diesel and Juicy Fruit and so on and so on. Good Times.

    It's Dick's Picks 11 for this drive home. I only have 80 minutes so aIcherry pick them and put them in some kind of Bobby Jerry order. In this case we're starting off with Promised Land and going right into Bird Song (just the way we get it on DP 36). There's a Dark sSar in here, a Brokedown Palace I can't wait to get to; not to mention there 's an Attics of My Life and a China Rider (featuring that crazy out of tune or broken string situation).

    Second time through the 3 Boston Music Hall 73 Shows this week

    I keep coming back to 12/2/73 Set II. Wharf Rat to open the second set is just mind blowing and the Mississippi Half Step to follow is my favorite from 73, if you are too busy just listen to the" across the rio grandio" refrain and listen to Keith, Jerry and Bill it is amazing........ it is around 6 minute 29 second part that I just wished lasted forever!!! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, we have a thunderstorm going on in Rhode Island right now!!! bob t

    Re: Dancing Looks Like Marching

    So true.. I found another video where dancing looks like marching. I think the guy to the right is both a trained dancer and tripping.. likely on Owsley acid.

    (this always cracks me up)

    In the second the guy on the left is likely starting to get off but the guy on right doesn't feel the effects until halfway through Fire. The same thing has happened to me on more than one occasion.

    Crimson and Clover

    I once heard a comment that went something like "I feel sorry for anyone whose favorite song was not at one time 'Crimson and Clover.'"

    Here's a version by Prince, from his Lotusflow3r album... and as usual with that guy, it slays. (He mixes in a little "Wild Thing" too...)

    Peace, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING, DeadLand!

    Black bears

    Minnesota has Black Bears. Not huge, not small, not dangerous, not un-dangerous. My aunt and uncle were honeymooning on the North Shore (Lake Superior), and camping, although tenting wasn't something either had really done before. Sure enough, the first night, some bear visits their campsite and ends up falling into the tent, with both my aunt and uncle in it, cowering. All parties escaped unharmed, but my relatives spent the remainder of the night in the car, and never camped again.

    Grateful Thanksgiving, all!

Hi All,

As of yesterday a replacement copy of Dave's Picks Volume 32 arrived and was in mint condition. It took 3 months and a few contacts to customer support and Marye, but I've finally got it and that may mean there is some hope for others that may be waiting on an initial or replacement copy of this installment.

One thing to mention. It is a numbered copy and a low one at that -- #544. Seems kind of odd that this Volume 32 sold out and I'm getting one that is numbered. This is not a complaint, but just saying...

A BIG THANKS to Marye for her help on my issue because I am sure it was her inquires to The Doc that made this eventually happen.

Good luck to all that are still waiting for a Volume 32. Hopefully, Help Is On The Way!
