    "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.

    On the radio today someone commented about Neil's passing and called him, accurately, one of rocks truly greatest drummers. Even if they were not your bag it's not hard to appreciate their talent. They were/are all top rate musicians.

    Anyway.. RIP Neil Peart. One of rocks greatest drummers.

    Edit: Ha.. two agrees written at about the same time. Right on jrf.

    Moving Pictures has always been my favorite RUSH. Always will be.
    I like 'em all pretty much, but MP is fantastic. My youth...skipping a few classes here and there, smoking copious amounts of bad weed, parties, friends. Tom Sawyer and Red Barchetta were best in a fast car with good friends with smoke blowin' out the windows. Good times.
    ...and Rush has always been part of the soundtrack.

    It's not every day when a band's commercial high water mark is also their greatest artistic achievement. In RUSH's case, Moving Pictures was it. I passed on the R40 tour but was at Red Rocks on the previous go-round when they played this album in it's entirety plus a greatest hits set. Absolutely brilliant.

    Side A contains the classic singles - Red Barchetta, Tom Sawyer, Limelight etc.

    Side B features incredible compositions not bound by the three to five minute single format - Witch Hunt, The Camera Eye and Vital Signs are some the coolest, most cinematic hard rock ever laid to vinyl.

    Check it out, or give it another listen in tribute!

    Simonrob, Exit....Stage Left

    That’s my suggestion for your Rush initiation.
    It’s a live album which I suspect you might like better than a studio album.

    Last night I watched the Exit Stage Left DVD.
    Tonight I might spin the 200 g vinyl.
    It’s such an awesome live album that it needs the extra 20 g so that you can turn it up to 11.

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!
