    "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.

    I still have not received my…

    I still have not received my subscription copy of Vol. 32. How many out there are in the same boat? Will Vol. 33 beat Vol. 32? Is Dave outraged but this lack of service?

    Cost of putting on a show

    Costs have gone up, including transportation from city to city.

    Visuals have definitely improved compared to the screen saver visuals we got in the 90’s.
    Of course, the 90’s screen savers were better than the oil, water, and food coloring in a glass dish on an overhead projector like you see in videos from the 60’s.

    So, at least some of the higher price we are paying is going to better visuals and good quality sound equipment.
    Got to give it to D&C, the sound quality was always good when I saw them.
    And FTW had great sound, and loud too. They sound checked Althea on that Saturday and Sunday and I could hear it clearly at least a half mile away.
    Roger Waters had great visuals and perfect sound.

    Ticket Prices

    ... on this morning's local news, they had a quick story about the cheapest ticket to this year's Super Bowl: $4400... for the CHEAPEST TICKET! Some other tickets are going for over $20,000... Now, I love football as much as the next guy, but that is ludicrous.

    Phish at MSG tix were just under $100 face. Not sure how much GA floor was. They've gotten much more expensive too, but I think the prices were higher because it was a New Year's run.

    Is it Friday yet?

    Peace

    $200-230 for a single Roger Waters floor seat

    I paid in that range 3 times from 2010-2017.
    It was worth it because I wanted to be on the floor where people usually remain standing, and you don’t get yelled at for dancing.
    Up in the seats people just sit there and tell you to sit down.

    Last time I saw D&C, Nov. 2017, I think I only paid $99 for GA floor.

    ....30 minutes till all hell breaks loose for the DaP 33 release page commencement.
    As others have noted, expect internet breakage and sadness as it evaporates into thin air in seemingly no time. Followed by sage words such as "subscribe" and "subscription".
    Dekalb = a fantastic show and I've had a crisp copy of this one ever since the Now and Then Shop heyday in New Hope, PA. The copy I found back then is as good a copy as I have ever heard, but there are a few very minor patches that I would like to see cleaned up.

    Jimmy - I know someone in NE who would welcome your presence for D&C.

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!
