    "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.

    re: Beer Me

    I for one truly enjoy a tasty hazy New England IPA. In fact I slurped down several of those big bads last night and expect to do the same this evening notably streaming night one of Dead & Co down in Meh-hee-Co. Couldn't make the trip down this year due to myriad reasons, but being able to still take it in from the couch is a reasonable and much less expensive alternative...

    Mighty Squirrel brewery out of Waltham MA of all places has a few go-to beers: Cloud Candy NE IPA (its as good as it sounds) and then the Double IPA (these are in fact my favorite) Cosmic Distortion coming in at 8% is a good shoehorn into the next liquid offering.

    Yeah, you have to stock up on those once a year offerings.
    But then drink them before the flavor changes.
    That’s the good thing with barrel aged stouts, the flavor usually improves with age.

    Wheat beer is my favorite style, Bell’s Oberon is my favorite wheat beer.
    I started drinking Bell’s in 92/93, so I’m quite loyal to Bell’s considering that they have been making quality beer since 85 and are pretty good at it. And still family owned and independent.
    Their Lager of the Lakes can stand up against any lager that I have had in Germany.

    Bell’s made a really good Pale Ale years ago (the one with the monk on the label), but then discontinued it. Not sure why, possibly because they could no longer get the hops.
    Recall that years ago, before there were tons of hop farms in the U.S., there was a hop shortage due to disease and/or drought in Europe.
    But that turned out to be a good thing because it started the hop growing craze and the creation of new varieties and strains that now allow so many different tasting beers.

    If anyone sees SweetWater G13 on the shelf grab it. There is a hop combination in there that smells and tastes like weed. A very fine tasting IPA.

    My favorite Bell's offering each year is their Octoberfest. The best Octoberfest I have ever had. Too bad they only sell it in August and September. Shelf life just 6 months.

    M-43 and Boss Tweed in my fridge too.
    Excellent beer.

    There are some good west coast style IPA’s out there, but there are also a lot of crappy ones.

    Wheat beer is my favorite style, so the cloudy N. E IPA’s were a welcome addition to the beer club.

    I don’t think that it’s possible for someone to be a beer purist if they only drink west coast style IPA’s, considering that the IPA style was developed by the British, not by west coast beer wannabes.

    Since we're a beer forum now, I'm curious how people feel about the hazy, New England style IPAs that have become popular? I for one love them, and I never really liked IPAs all that much until discovering those. But I've read a lot of beer snobby purists saying they dislike them and only want that turbo hoppped West Coast style.

    Old Nation Brewery here in mid Michigan makes two excellent examples: M43, and Boss Tweed. They've been my main beer jam for awhile now.

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!
