Dave's Picks Volume 48 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded on November 20, 1971, at Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles, California, on the campus of UCLA. It also includes bonus tracks recorded on October 24, 1970, at Kiel Opera House in St. Louis, Missouri. It was released on October 27, 2023, in a limited edition of 25,000 copies.[1][2][3]

The album's liner notes include an essay by Bill Walton, who attended the 1971 show and was on the UCLA men's basketball team at the time.[1]

The New Riders of the Purple Sage were the opening act at both the Pauley Pavilion and the Kiel Opera House concerts.[4]

Dave's Picks Volume 48 debuted at number 33 on the Billboard 200 album sales chart. With this album, the Grateful Dead tied Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley for the most top 40 albums with 58.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "Asking basketball legend and notable Deadhead Bill Walton to write the liner notes for Dave's Picks, Vol. 48 was a nice touch. The concert featured here took place in November 1971 at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, where Walton was setting the court on fire as a budding college basketball star. He was also in attendance at this show, listening to his favorite band set that same court on fire with a mix of searing psychedelic journeys ("The Other One"), glowing roots rock ("Casey Jones", "Sugar Magnolia"), and Skull & Roses-era classics ("Me and My Uncle", "Bertha")."[6]
