Booklet

The release includes a booklet made of four sheets of paper stapled together in the middle yielding a 16-page enclosure. The front duplicates the cover of the CD and the back features a photograph of the venue.

The booklet features many photographs, both in color and black-and-white, of the band playing on stage and of the crowd in attendance at the show. The last two pages feature a dark black-and-white photograph of Jerry Garcia on stage and list the contents of and credits for the release. [3]

Caveat emptor

Each volume of Dick's Picks has its own "caveat emptor" label, advising the listener of the sound quality of the recording. The one for volume 34 reads:

"Dick's Picks Volume 34 was mastered directly from the original two-track analog reel-to-reel tapes running at 7.5 IPS. Some minor sonic anomalies remain, due to the unavoidable effects of the ravages of time and the fragile nature of 1/4" analog tape. Additionally, due to a missing reel from November 5, 1977, we have used the PA cassette master tapes from that show to fix the problem."
