Dave's Picks Volume 40 contains all of the songs from both concerts except for the July 19 encore, "U.S. Blues", which was omitted due to lack of space. That song was included as a bonus track on Dave's Picks Volume 41.

The 1990 summer concert tour comprised the last Grateful Dead shows to feature keyboardist and vocalist Brent Mydland, who died of a drug overdose on July 26 of that year.[1][5]

Critical reception


On AllMusic Timothy Monger wrote, "Playing with an acute sense of focus and precision, the Dead charge energetically through usual suspects like the opening combo of "Help on the Way", "Slipknot!", and "Franklin's Tower". There's even more to like about night two, which features an expansive Bob-on-Bob (that's Weir covering Dylan) rendition of "Desolation Row" and a nuanced "Victim or the Crime" into "Foolish Heart"."[6]
