Critical reception
On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "Volume 49 takes listeners back to 1985, when the Dead were celebrating their first two decades with a "20 Years So Far" tour.... Bay Area shows were always special, but Palo Alto was the band's backyard, and they cruise into these dates with easy confidence and a spirit of invention."[6]
