    "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.

    Foiled Again!

    It's been a few days since I checked in. Wanted to tell everyone It's the anniversary of a Dyn-O-Mite show Stoltzfus turned me on to: November 19,1972. Then I saw Cygnus in the headlines, only to discover it was one of those Merry Pranksters again. I suppose that's what I get for hitting the road without a second cup of coffee. But seriously the Bird Song might be the best unreleased Bird Song out there. The Dark Star I've only listen to about a half-dozen times and not recently. I remember I mentally put it in the top 50 to 75% of Dark Stars mentally. First 5 minutes been fantastic, I can tell you that. I

    Another UK delivery

    My postie has just put #32 into my grateful hands. Playing it in disc order so I’m up to Cumberland Blues. So far so good. Guitar on Cumberland Blues is worth the price on its own. My second fix of GD should arrive on Friday when Amazon deliver ‘Ready or not’. So much to be thankful for.

    Tossed in to randomly evoke the angry guise of KeithFan2112 as he realizes yet another Rush song was put in the subject line of several posts that seemingly had nothing to do with Rush.

    As Yoda once said, Misanthropic bastards we are.

    I really like that April Fools Road Trips. I do wish it sounded a tat better if that's ok to say. I'd put it in the same neighborhood as the Road Trips Penn State 1980 and the Download Series 1988 Hampton. All great shows but I'd kill or die for more dynamic range on the masters.

    Edit: No hard feelings, KF.. just having a little fun.

    To Cygnus X-2(Deer Creek). What could possibly go wrong?

    As for your Doppleganger, I saw him drinking a piña colada at Trader Vic's
    And his hair was perfect.

    Coup!!

    Oh no..!! I exclaimed as his first executive order immediately set in place the very coup that overthrew his regime.

    Had he listened to his wise and cautious advisors that suggested the first order of business should be to turn Camp David into a Wall of Sound enabled free music venue for all of us instead of using his powers for evil, to find out the next Dave's Picks before anyone else without going through the hardship to solve the endless, virtually impossible riddles.. , things would have turned out much different. Alas...

    Well, we screwed up that parallel universe.. on to the next one they call Cygnus X-2(Deer_Creek).

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!
