    "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.

    Colin Thanks for the heads up on the cream box. I really want this because the heavy cream album I have is out of print and the other live ones are all in my vinyl collection in storage. So the box is what I've been waiting for. Yes, that is Dr. Demento. He made me the person I am today. Crazy. The Dr. Turned me on to comedy like Dr. Timothy Learys turn on,tune in,drop out.

    Pleased to read of this. Hopefully sonically superior the glut of live Cream cds that have come out over the last 12 months or so.

    You like your '77 / '78 Dead…

    You like your '77 / '78 Dead. I also like that Selland show you mentioned. Very easy on the ears. Better than DP 31, which is overrated in my opinion. It was the bomb in its time but better '74 has come along. Eyes of the World obviously stands out still.

    Vguy I almost didn't recognize you with the new avatar. I think of people as their avatar in my mind's eye. You've always been red dice on green felt. Perrythecat is creepy upsidedown dude. Jim is Peabody or whichever the name of the human is. Icecreamconekid is clearly the kid they used to model for the Europe 72 album. KeithFan I actually think you're the ghost of Keith because I've never seen an avatar for you that's not a picture of him. Carlo you're just bearded top hat guy. Charlie3, a turtle to be sure.

    Storage media

    I only buy physical product for Grateful Dead releases.
    I’ve had defective CD’s, as well as damaged and defective vinyl from Rhino.
    But I still want the physical product. It would just be nice if GD/Rhino would pick up their game on the manufacturing and quality control aspect of the process, as well as getting replacements out as fast as possible.

    After I listen to new GD releases to confirm that they play defect free, I copy them to a hard drive and then make copies in various formats - AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, and AAC-320 (my car will only play mp3 from a flash drive).
    I then make backup HD’s and store them in various locations.

    Periodically I make data BD-R backups because optical is a different storage medium than the magnetic spinning discs in HD’s. In the future I am going to include SSD’s for a third medium.
    Need to insure survival of the collection no matter what.

    As a wise former visitor of this site once told me: “this collection is my audio 401k for retirement.”

    Blank BD-R’s are $0.42 each for 25GB 50-pack.
    That’s 25GB per disc x 50 discs.
    That is a cheap insurance policy against a hard drive failure.
    BD-R burners are on sale this week at OWC (you still need software to burn the disc).

    Cream Box Set

    CARLO13

    You mentioned listening to Spoonful by Cream a few days ago. I wonder if you’ve noticed that a 4cd boxset is going to be released in early Feb 2020. This will have the complete shows from the Goodbye tour in 1968. Three in the US and the Royal Albert Hall final concert. There’s a piece about it on the Rolling Stone website. I am looking forward to this.

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!
