Contents

Volume 35 was the first Grateful Dead archival album from 1984 (with the exception of the concert included in the 30 Trips Around the Sun box set).

Critical reception

On AllMusic, Timothy Monger wrote, "Grateful Dead archivist Dave Lemieux unearths yet another gem for Dave's Picks, Vol. 35... While it's a smidge brief for a typical Dead show, adventurous versions of "Feel Like a Stranger", "Let It Grow", and "Scarlet Begonias" all exceed the ten-minute mark, making it feel quite epic." [4]
