Then there are the great shows, those that shine the brightest. And then there are the truly transcendent shows, those that exert a gravitational pull-dare we say it, like a \"Dark Star\"-on all the other concerts from that particular year or tour. These are the nights that every Dead Head learns about right after getting on board the bus. and the September 21, 1972 performance at the Spectrum in Philadelphia is truly one of those nights. This is the concert that original Dead archivist Dick Latvala strongly considered to kick off the Dick's Picks series, and it's the one that ended it. It's one of those nights when every Garcia guitar solo tells a story, when the rhythm section is locked in like the gears on a Swiss watch, and when the band is repeatedly hitting its vocal harmonies dead-on. It's also a night when Bob Weir absolutely shreds, his unusual chord voicings and off-time guitar ?lls perfectly complementing Jerry's leads (the set also includes some highlights from the 9\/3\/72 show at Folsom Field in Boulder, CO). So when we at Real Gone Music were considering which Pick to put on vinyl next, the choice was pretty obvious. But to do this concert justice, we had to bring in the best. This 7-LP set is mastered for vinyl by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering from Bear's original tapes, which are absolutely brilliant in their clarity and immediacy. Lacquers are cut by Jeff Powell, who got his start at Memphis' legendary Ardent Studios and has worked with everybody from Bob Dylan to Gregg Allman to Irma Thomas. Pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Furnace Record Pressing, the vacuum-quiet test pressings were approved by engineer Norman, archivist David Lemieux, and Real Gone's own Gordon Anderson. And each of the seven LPs is housed inside a polyvinyl sleeve carefully nestled (with extra padding!) inside a two-piece hardshell box. We've also included a 4-page insert featuring, along with original photos and graphics and Bear's original notes, a word from Bear's son Star?nder Stanley on behalf of the Owsley Stanley Foundation, who kindly provided the tapes for our reissue. Limited to 2000 hand-numbered copies, this one's going to be a keepsake.  Don't miss it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFORMAT: 7-LP Set 180-Gram Black Vinyl PACKAGING: Two-Piece Hardshell Box with LP-Sized 4-Page Insert and Polyvinyl Inner Sleeves LIMITED EDITION: 2000 Hand-Numbered Copies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7-LP Set Pressed in 180-Gram Vinyl at Furnace   Record Pressing  Originally Recorded by Owsley \"Bear\" Stanley   in Astonishing Clarity and Immediacy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemastered from the Original Tapes by Jeffrey Norman at Mockingbird Mastering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLacquer Cutting by Jeff Powell, Who Got His   Start at Memphis' Ardent Studios and Has   Worked with Everybody from Bob Dylan to   Gregg Allman to Irma Thomas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGRATEFUL DEAD:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDick's Picks Vol. 36-The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA 9\/21\/72\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet One -  Promised Land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBird Song\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEl Paso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChina Cat Sun?ower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Know You Rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Throated Wind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Railroad Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJack Straw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRamble On Rose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCumberland Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaying in the Band\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet Two   He's Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTruckin'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack Peter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMexicali Blues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Star (cont.) ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMorning Dew ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBeat It On Down the Line ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMississippi Half-Step Uptown   Toodeloo ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugar Magnolia ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriend of the Devil ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot Fade Away ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGoin' Down the Road  Feeling Bad ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot Fade Away ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne More Saturday Night ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHe's Gone ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Other One ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Other One (cont.) ^1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWharf Rat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"503","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50561541636392,"sku":"84806401138","price":219.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/418464785413_1000.jpg?v=1763984292","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/grateful-dead-dicks-picks-v36-ltd-edition-lp-4806401138","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
