The album cover depicts a skeleton couple who are walking towards Swing Auditorium. In the background is the San Bernardino landmark known as the Arrowhead. [3]

Critical reception

On AllMusic, Timothy Monger wrote, "Having returned from a hiatus the year before with a renewed vigor, 1977 would prove to be a banner year for the Dead in terms of the energy and quality of their performances, and this oft-bootlegged classic kicked it all off." [5]
