    "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.

    What’s in your fridge

    It’s actually a forum on this site.

    Oroborous,
    Currently drinking a Double Two Hearted, 11%.
    Need to finish what I have since the beer store I go to says they are getting Hopslam next week.
    Yes, try whatever Bell’s products you can get. If you can get Kzoo Stout give it a try, along with Expedition Stout, an Imperial. I was lucky enough last year or so to get some bourbon barrel aged Expedition Stout, as well as 2015 Expedition Stout that was aged in a temperature controlled warehouse.
    Tonight I got 2 bottles of Vanilla Black Note Stout. Black Note is a mixture of bourbon barrel aged Expedition Stout and bourbon barrel aged Double Cream Stout. Good stuff, I have a few bottles aging. Will age the Vanilla for a while too.
    Bell’s Christmas Ale is a good a good Scotch Ale. It’s only around for a few weeks.

    Anchor Steam, don’t think that I have had the ale since the 90’s. Don’t think I’ve ever had the Christmas.

    Sierra NV products - I’ve consumed a lot.

    Is one fine brew. It can be hard to find but worth the search.
    It comes in an old school bottle too.

    Just came out today going through all volumes of Dicks Picks. Just digging in to the first episode. It’s called 36 from the vault and is easy to find on Apple devices.

    Guess we will find out about the 33 filler tomorrow. There is a Peggy O from around that time that I recall being a great version

    listening heavily to the "Hot Rats Sessions" box that I gifted my self...amazing...Hot Rats, Weasels Ripped My Flesh and Burnt Weenie Sandwich are all present in one way or the other...also last week I took the Mrs to the big city of Phoenix to see Booker T Jones play at the Musical Instrument Museum Theater...what a gas to see him play...he told MG & Stax stories during a Q & A with the audience...i was lucky enough to get to ask him a question and I asked him to talk about Al Jackson, the MG's drummer...he said Al would open his wallet and lay it flat on his floor tom and smack it while playing because he liked the fat sound it made...great time and to hear "Green Onions" live just about did us both in...he talked about writing "Born Under A Bad Sign" with Isaac Hayes for an Albert King Session that the MG's served as the session band with Booker & Isaac playing piano...sweet indeed and I scored a lotta brownie points too...

    Conekid, snacks and tuning

    Kid thanks for the links and the heads up on the Hopslam, I will seek out beer man and Pester him!
    The two river video was so idyllic it made me look it up on google earth. God I love that app. Im such a map geek I could mess with that all day.
    I have not been enjoying two hearted lately, because in winter I tend to binge on the heavier stuff. The 2 hearted is definetly in main rotation during the other 3 months outta the year here that it’s not winter. Since Anchor Christmas beer is my all time favorite, it’s only available for a short time, and the distributor out here is a #$&(&4 douche, I usually stock up with between 10-20 cases to last us the year. This year did 12 as that seems to be about right. I’ll have one now and again during the warmer months, but it’s definetly better during the early winter months.
    Been supplementing that with The Fremont Dark Star, (Big Freemont fan) Sierra Nevada Celebration (really good with Buffalo chicken), Einstock Porter, North Coast Old Rasputin, and what other quality Stouts and Porters we can get out here in the boonies. If your into coffee Stouts, check out Crazy Mountain Snow Cat.
    Did try the Bells Abracadabra and the special double cream stout. They were good, but not mind blowing. Would really like to try their Robust Porter and Kalamazoo Stout if I can get it? Perhaps the Christmas beer, but I find Scotch ales, like Barley wine can be hit or miss depending on preference. Personally I don’t like em if their too sweet.
    That pleasantly reminds me that Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barely will be available sooner than later which is a nice psychological carrot to get through the worst of winter!

    BOLO; burppp, thanks for the tasty snack!

    TUNING; insterments often need time to warm up in order to keep good tune. So in those drafty halls etc, even if sitting out, as soon as they crank up the lights and start playing them they can be hard to keep in tune. This is especially true for bolt on necks found on most production guitars. (Like they played before all the custom stuff) If you notice in the later years they tuned much less, because they usually played through-the-neck instruments and had better tuners. The Modulas Graphite instruments Bob and Phil mostly played from the early eighties on had graphite necks which helped with a lot with tuning....also, they are musicians so Smoke breaks are a must! Lol
    My dream bass would be one of the early, few, Alembic Instrumets with a Modulas through body neck, boo-ya!

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!
