Contents

The album is one of many Grateful Dead live releases to feature performances from 1977, widely considered a peak year for the band. [3] Material from the band's October 1977 shows was previously documented on Road Trips Volume 1 Number 2 .

Critical reception

On AllMusic Timothy Monger wrote, "Pristinely recorded by soundboard mainstay Betty Cantor-Jackson at the Paramount Theatre, Dave's Picks 45 comprises both concerts in their entirety as the Dead cook through classic combos of the era in fine form. They even drag out a few oldies, playing their first "Dupree's Diamond Blues" since 1969 and re-introducing the eternal "Casey Jones" back into the canon after a three-year absence." [4]
