    "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.

    Uhhhh......

    You want your team to win
    And you watch them suck
    And you wonder how Aaron Rodgers can be so good
    Year after year after year

    And then your team gets called for pass interference

    And offside

    Show of the Month/1988/Random Musings

    Grand idea, Billy. I have a sneaking suspicion you have seen more shows than many of us including probably me.. :D I don't think they played in January for February in my neck of the woods in my show seeing days and CA mid semester was out.

    1988.. an underrepresented year indeed. I was always partial to the Greeks and the last show at Alpine that year. I was at the April Fools shows, I recall that as being quite fun. The Oxford shows certainly get some love. It's flaw was being stuck between 87 and 89. Come to think of it, I was at the Alpine run too.. the dust bowl year, in any case I liked that last night of the run.

    I have to admit.. the Giants box provided a bit of momentum towards the 80's.. Today's outdoor adventure gave me the second set of Augusta '84. Love the guitar work in PITB and UJB, and that Dew... one of the better mid 80's performed.

    It's been a very long time since I got in a '77 groove. GSTL got a single run through that's it.. no second dip. #33 might change that.

    Have a good rest of the weekend y'all.. What are ya listening to?

    Show of the month/January

    I'm going to pick my favorite Dead or Dead related shows once a month, for each month of the year. I will pick one show that I attended and one show that is an official release. I saw the Dead play twice in January, 1/13/80 and 1/27/87, I was not knocked out by either show. My favorite show in January was Jerry Garcia and John Kahn acoustic at Keystone Palo Alto on 1/16/86, one of my all time favorite shows. As for an official release that's easy, Dave's picks # 30: 1/2/70 and 1/3/70 hands down.

    1988

    1988. Another year not represented well at all. I put the 1988 April Fool's show on for my workout this morning. RT 4.2. love this release. Love the Ballad of a Thin Man, Cumberland Blues, great Scarlet Fire, the whole release is pretty sweet.
    There has to be some multi tracks out there wait to be released.
    I think this might be a Dat recording and it sounds really good.

    Great show. I don't have the bonus disc and I have never heard it, but I hear it is top notch.
    I missed this one when it first came out and bought one last year. This one used to go for some insane prices on Ebay.
    The sound quality is good, but it is not as good as Dave's #9, which is outstanding. And of course #13, Skeleton Skaters, not much better than that release.
    It should be interesting to compare Dave's 2 to the new 74 release we will have this Spring with Dave's 34. Super excited for these first two releases of 2020.

    While killing time until something new comes in the mail. I once again dove into the archive. I found this place once, a venue called "The Brass Lantern", out of Reading, PA. Whoever does the soundboard work there seems to record every show that comes through the venue. I think he does an OK job. Found this Papadosio show there this morning.

    I like these guys (guy?), they have a nice trippy sound.

    Once you're at this show, if you click the "Brass Lantern" words, it will show you every show played at the venue.

    Hey, I'm just ticking away the moments that make up a dull day.

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!
