    "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.

    Delivery

    For all those sitting there in limbo, I am as well. I was so excited about this pick that I ordered one for a buddy. That one was delivered on 11-5-19. My subscription version hasn't even triggered a "Your Order is on the Way!" e-mail.

    How this could possibly be the case is beyond my overtaxed, undernourished and haltingly functioning brain, but it is nonetheless the case.

    V-Guy, sorry to hear about your troubles. Family issues are never easy to deal with. I hope things turn out for the good.

    Thanks everyone for the thoughtful wishes....

    .....read them to my wife. She smiled and said thank you as well. She has a beautiful smile and it's good to see.

    @Dennis: King Biscuit, Nat

    Best King Biscuit broadcast was the one culled from 10/6/77 (although some have debated the date) It has the best(IMO...) post-hiatus NFA, long & fast, makes a detour by MLBJ, then melts into Black Peter and comes right back to NFA at full speed. As good as any late '71 NFAs.

    LOVE that Nat box; discovered that what I though were Vibraphone solos in some of these tunes, were actually played by Nat on a Celeste, really cool sound(I think TC used a celeste on Anthem of the Sun). Interesting version of Russian Lullaby in there too.

    3rd World Problems

    I hear someone saying all Dave's prior to this went fine. Now, "I've hit a snag" on this one. That's a pretty damn good average. We are so used to getting everything we want, when we want, NOW!! All will be resolved, it always is. If you aren't in the ICU right now, maybe getting a cd late should be not too big a deal. Sheesh!!

    Regarding sick relatives, I have a niece who found a guy with a drug problem, and she was going to SAVE him. She now has 2 kids, dad is out of jail but not reliable at all, and she's been addicted for 5 or more years. I now know that all I CAN do is pray. I've told her mother(my sister)that I am willing to go the extra 100 miles to help(take to rehab, take to meetings, help understand recovery), but until she is willing to ACCEPT help, there is absolutely nothing I can do. She will likely die if she can't detox soon. It's a very sad story I've seen way too many times in my life. Friends, acquaintances, co-workers. It's awful. Apparently "Just Say No" didn't work.

    Still no Shipping Notice for a DP Subscriber

    I'm happy to hear that some have received their orders (whether purchased via subscription or a la carte),. As a DP subscriber since Day 1, it's incredibly frustrating that it's been two weeks of radio silence since V32 started hitting mailboxes. Nothing left to do but... well, you know.

    Sorry about your delivery, but it's good to see another Minnesotan around these parts! (I'm assuming, given the Mpls in your name) You, DeadVikes, me . . .

    Morning Rockers!

    Deej, there's an 800 number for customer support somewhere on this website. I couldn't find it but take a look around. Normally when you email customer support you get a generic response that is automated and opens a ticket number for you. If that didn't happen I would go with a second email plus a phone call. If you can't find the phone number on the site Google it. I'm driving or I'd look it up for you.

    Vguy I'm sorry man. I put in a prayer for you and your daughter.

    There is a good block of Music in the taperssection from Jerry's birthday in 1973. It begins with dark star then goes El Paso, eyes of the world, morning dew. In the immortal words of V guy, Morning Dew ain't no filler! If internet stories are to believed B, believed I mean be believed, this is the last show Jerry used the Nash Strat AKA Alligator. I'm going to do the trick where I started at the same time as I start the copy I have on my phone, and I'm going to get that cool vibratoe effect. We'll save that for work. I wonder if it sounds better than the copy that I have... Unlikely, mysource is impeccable. Sorry about all the spelling errors. Voice translator is doing particularly poor this morning., or my speech is just slurred, which is a distinct possibility before my second cup of coffee. Oh I shouldn't even be driving before two cups of coffee, but I like to save one for work.

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!
