Dave's Picks Volume 44
2022 live album by Grateful Dead
Dave's Picks Volume 44 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead . It contains the complete concert recorded at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon on June 23, 1990. Also included is a performance of "Cold Rain and Snow " from the band's December 26, 1969 concert, which was omitted from the previous Dave's Picks release due to lack of space. It was released on October 28, 2022, in a limited edition of 25,000 copies.[ 1] [ 2]
This concert was the first of a two-night stand in Eugene. The opening act for both shows was Little Feat .[ 1]
Critical reception
On AllMusic , Timothy Monger said, "From an archival standpoint, it's notable for a number of reasons. A rare day show with gates opening at noon, there's a loose and lazy feel to this nearly three-hour concert – one of the longest of any era – which features some sterling contributions from keyboardist/singer Brent Mydland..."[ 2]
