Dave's Picks Volume 54

In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette wrote, "Just past the half-century mark of entries in this ongoing archival series, the curators of ''Dave's Picks may have outdone themselves with Volume 54''. The bonus disc itself is a veritable microcosm of the main performance, a never-before-released show from Baltimore, Maryland, that is arguably the definitive release of the whole vault enterprise." == Track listing ==
