    "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.

    1969

    I thought we were going to get another 1969 this year. I'm not sure why we didn't.. it seems like we were due.

    It does seem like the quality of the recordings increased as they drifted through 70 and into 71. I wonder what contributed to that? Storage? Tape/Recorder quality? Taping methods? Ravages of time? Performance quality? Or perhaps it's just me and they are every bit as good. In any case, I like 68 and 69.

    That bonus cd with DaP 10 is a good 'un. Thelma LA 12/11/69, and a sequence of tracks from Dark Star to Cosmic Charlie that is almost entirely fat free. The Other One was the key track for me last night-lovely churchy organ from TC.

    I got Two from the Vaults when it came out, but never got the remastered version. The bonus tracks were included at the end of the earlier version of Anthem, if I remember rightly, so I am not sure if its worth looking for the 3 disc version or not. So far its been "not".

    Cousins....the Duane Eddy Box arrived... and I have to agree...splendid in everyway. I'm on the look out now for the first Freddie King box on Bear Records - Taking Care of Business. I have most of the tracks already...but not the experience that you get with a Bear Family Box.

    There's also this little search bar at the top of the website. If you type in Dave's 32 it brings you to this page. Duh?

    Whatever became of that? Does anyone else remember a BIG announcement (I think it came along with the announcement of the Dave's Picks series . . . )? There was going to be some online netherworld that we could each build a character for.

    The Jerry site must use the same platform as this one does. If I place items in my cart, they disappear about an hour later if checkout is not completed. Odd. Most sites leave everything in your cart for eternity.

    Two From the Vault is a top ten release of all time, yes.

    You could be right.. pragmatism usually wins the day.

    I’m still holding out for a website rebuild/relaunch.
    TPTB are just letting us hang out because they know we would be lost without this site.

    It’s a home for Deadheads who don’t want anything to do with the other social media circus, and just want Grateful Dead (and associated acts) media.
    While hanging out with strangers like in the lot.

    Irony

    The irony of removing or obscuring comments (to me) is.. as they pick up the subscription to 22k, do we help or hurt sales?

    I would argue the passion and conviction we collectively bring to the party helps. A good example being the extra disc from Two From the Vault and the fact that One From the Vault was remastered for the From the Vault mini-box (shamelessly stolen from the very last comment here). I guarantee this comment got someone out there to say hey, I only have the older master or I want that extra disc.. and just in time for Christmas. So we silently and for free just sold some product.

    I would argue collectively the comments we provide, free of cost, help not hurt sales. ...and if that 22k number becomes harder to make, there might be a large vacuum to fill and costly inventories might result just as we get bored and move on. Anyone seen Stoltzie lately?

    I mean.. I had all ten DVDs released when that DVD box set came out and got it just for the bonus disc and the re-release of so far from VHS or Laserdisc to DVD and I know I'm not alone here. Comments like these are the ones that they are inadvertently or purposefully trying to mute.

    There’s a 3rd CD now, just in case you didn’t know.

    I held out on buying the Vault 1-3 Box because I had them individually, and so didn’t think that an additional CD justified rebuying what I already had.
    But then someone on this board pointed out that 8-13-75 in the Box had been remastered. So I bought the Box about a year ago and was glad I did.

    Keithfan,
    Got the Rush R40 Bonus BluRay playing. Rocking out to the 76 show.

    And ha, busted.
    Access to the comments button as I posted this morning has been removed. So yes, they are still reading these posts.

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!
