    "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.

    Three of the best shows from 1978 in that there box. Maybe one of the reasons it works so well, for me, is that expectations are, or were, a bit lower for me concerning 78. Everyone and his mother knows about 1977, but 1978 is often written off a bit. But the best shows from this year are great, and with three of them (at least) in this box, its a win-win (win)situation.

    I chortle to myself about future world rendering all my digital shit useless. I envision turning my turntable by hand and having a straight pin stuck in a rolled cone of paper and listening to my vinyl. Quiet listening only, not much volume control on a tube of paper!

    Carlo- July 78

    Hey Carlo, you will not be disappointed with that box set. I got mine only a few months ago after a lengthy procrastination episode. I took the sage advice of many of the regular posters here. They are like high Jedi Master Council for the Grateful Dead. So when this crew says a show or box set is good, I trust 'em. Enjoy!

    That box had some good shows and some particularly tasty versions of Estimated Prophet as I recall. Good call on picking it up before it sold out Carlo13, you won't regret it. As Vguy72 noted, the artwork on that box is top shelf, possibly my favorite box set art so far. And I will agree with what just about everyone else noted as well, that Arrowhead show is fantastic.

    Right on Washington, robbz. Strange it's still around, so I popped the wallet and wait for the show.

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!
