The next concert performed by the band, two days later, is documented in the film and album Sunshine Daydream .

Critical reception

On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "Captured in late August, just a few months after the Dead's epic Europe '72 tour, this show took place at the Berkeley Community Theatre on the campus of Berkeley High School. In spite of, or perhaps inspired by the comforts of being on home turf, they turn in a relaxed yet fresh and exploratory set, offering a set list that reflects the riches of that era." [5]

According to Glide Magazine the album has, "... a setlist comprised of durable concert favorites, at a time in Grateful Dead history that this band arguably had its deepest store of excellent material, sequenced in an order that alternately (and sometimes simultaneously) reassures and surprises: hear some forty-four minutes of "Truckin'" into "The Other One" for example.... As complete a package as any in the five-year history of the series, Dave's Picks Volume 24... is a set that validates a Deadhead's devotion and presents the full spectrum of attraction(s) for the uninitiated." [6]
