    "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.

    30 days in the hole? contact a physician

    Black Sabbath first 5 albums and first two tracks of 6th = awesomeness

    Rush Hemispheres love it

    Television Marquee Moon sublime

    8/16/91 sadly, a bland affair, even with first set Dark Star

    8/26/71 potent

    5/19/77 gotta check that one out again. one of the all-time greats. cited in Blair Jackson's book from 82/83

    Jiminmd - DP29 is possibly my favourite of all the picks. The whole unbroken sequence starting with Playing in the Band is just fantastic. Yes, UJB starts in the ‘wrong’ place but somehow it seems just exactly right in the context. The China Doll imho is the finest they’ve ever played.

    Hey nice to see Broken Barricades on your last five list...have you heard the three disc re-issue? first one is the LP with some bonus tracks tacked on at the end...disc 2 is da chit, a 71' live in the studio done in NYC...one of Trower's last gigs with them...I've had this set in various bootleg forms through the years, even had the original vinyl it came on way back when...worth the price of admission by itself...the third disc is another '71 live show and while it is stellar sound the performance is somewhat flat , not a big fan of David Ball's guitar playing....

    There are a few sets on Archive.org where they played with the Dead.. I think all the ones I saw were recorded at the FE, but they were recorded by someone and at least some of the recordings do exist. I can't help but feel many of these were recorded by Bear.

    Again with the money

    Thanks for the heads up on Humble Pie 4 cd box set. Just got it used (like new) on amazon 70 bucks (I think new was 300!).

    Waiting for more words on the next Osley set. I found no mention of New Riders anywhere, but I put faith in this group to have ear to the track.

    Sam.. nice to see a name check for this great album by Humble Pie. There was a box set that came out a few years ago which featured all 4 sets, on 4 cds, that they used as a basis for the live album . The sets all feature virtually the same song list, but its a brute of a box. No songs about elves or swords with names..just hot n' nasty rock/blues/soul.

    There is another great live album by them called Rockin' The Winterland from 1973.

    All-around a really nice show. I appreciate Donna's vocal contributions mostly in '77 but here, on The Race Is On, she's terribly out of key. Kind of a bummer.

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!
