    "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.

    Subscription time

    I just subscribed for Dave's Picks 2020. I can't wait, had to do it right away. I am really excited for Vol 33 10/29/77. I had it on tape back in the day and I haven't listened to it in at least a decade or more.

    If anyone who complained about getting shut out of Vol 32 are reading this, now is the time. The subscription is up , go and get it. Even with the increase to 22K , these will all still sell out fast.

    Ah, that explains it, thanks.

    Am I missing something or did they not announce the first pick for 2020? I thought that happened the day subscriptions went up for sale.

    No Pigpen-10/12/68

    According to Deadbase 10, this show occurred in the middle of the Mickey and the Hartbeats shows, when Bob Weir and Pigpen were unceremoniously "kicked out of the band". Whether this accounts for Pig's absence seems unclear. They played Lovelight on 10/20/68, according to the good book, and certainly it wasn't long before both the injured parties were back in their rightful places. Not the best of decisions the band ever made, it has to be said. Getting rid of them I mean.

    FINALLY. Been saying this is a top-3 '77 show for a long time. Eyes rivals 9/3 and 5/22. Slow and jazzy. Sick sick show.

    Are about to be announced. The page doesn't open but there it is in the Dave's Picks store and $75 😲 listed price. Hmmm.

    Definitely onboard again. Subscribing is the way to go.

    You're not going to get that information today because he doesn't have it. He's already thrown in one nonsense reply to a simple question.

    Is "Butch" for Butch Trucks?

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!
