Dave's Picks Volume 32 is a 3-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded at the Spectrum in Philadelphia on March 24, 1973. It was released on November 1, 2019 in a limited edition of 20,000 copies. [1] [2] [3]
On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "Later [in 1973, the Grateful Dead] would launch their own record label with the release of their sixth studio album, Wake of the Flood , and... [they] were still honing a number of that album's cuts here, including the luminous "Here Comes Sunshine" and the lovely "Stella Blue". An air of poignant uplift surrounds parts this Philadelphia show – included here in its entirety – which took place just a couple of weeks after the death of founding member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan." [4]
In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette wrote, "No inclusions are more striking, however, than the segues of "He’s Gone" > "Truckin'" > "Jam" > "Dark Star" > "Sing Me Back Home".... Concluding the string with the doleful likes of Merle Haggard's song is an ideal set-up for the celebratory air the band conjures up immediately after: "Sugar Magnolia" is a deservedly exhilarating transition at this, one of the group’s favorite venues."
