Dave's Picks Volume 38 was the first live Dead album to include the song "Let Me Sing Your Blues Away", sung by keyboardist Keith Godchaux. The "Eyes of the World" on the bonus disc was previously released, in slightly edited form, as a bonus track on the 2004 reissue of Wake of the Flood .

The September 7 and 8, 1973 Nassau Coliseum concerts were the first Grateful Dead shows at which Jerry Garcia played his custom Doug Irwin guitar "Wolf". [4]

Critical Reception
