Dave's Picks Volume 49 debuted at number 25 on the Billboard 200 album sales chart. With this album, the Grateful Dead broke the record for the most top 40 albums, with 59. The previous record of 58 top 40 albums was held by both Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley. [4] [5]
On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "Volume 49 takes listeners back to 1985, when the Dead were celebrating their first two decades with a "20 Years So Far" tour.... Bay Area shows were always special, but Palo Alto was the band's backyard, and they cruise into these dates with easy confidence and a spirit of invention." [6]
