Dick's Picks Volume 32 is the thirty-second installment of the Dick's Pick's series of Grateful Dead concert recordings. It is a two CD set that contains one complete show, recorded on one hot night August 7, 1982 at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin.
An outdoor theater in rural southeastern Wisconsin, Alpine Valley was a very popular summer venue among Deadheads of that era. It is also the site of the Grateful Dead concert video Downhill From Here.
This show contains a rare (and only released) electric version of On The Road Again and a particularly energetic second set, with energy building starting with Playing in the Band and a hard thrashing version of Morning Dew.

[edit] Caveat Emptor
Each volume of Dick's Picks has its own "caveat emptor" label, advising the listener of the sound quality of the recording. The one for volume 32 reads:
"By now, after 11 years and 31 previous volumes of Dick's Picks, most of you ignore these dire audio warnings. Therefore, every once in a while I need to remind you of the inherent problems of some of our music sources. The master for Alpine 8-7-82, is a cassette... yes, the lowly, forgotten cassette. It is quite well preserved, but it is a sonically limited cassette none-the-less. In addition to that, because of overriding considerations at the time of the show, this mix is bass instrument shy. That being said, this is a great show, and that's the foremost DP consideration, right? So, let the music and performance jump out and grab you, and enjoy! - Love, JN"
