Dick's Picks Volume 27 is an album by the Grateful Dead, the 27th installment of their archival release series. It was recorded on December 16, 1992 at the Oakland Coliseum Arena, in Oakland, California. It was released in 2003.[4]
Dick's Picks Volume 27 also contains four bonus songs recorded at the December 17, 1992 concert at the Oakland Coliseum. These include the encore, the only officially released version of the medley "Baba O'Riley" and "Tomorrow Never Knows".
Enclosure
Included in the release is a single sheet of paper, printed on both sides and folded into thirds, yielding a six-page enclosure. The front duplicates the disc's cover, and the back is a mostly blank, textured grey that matches the background of the front.
The first page inside lists the contents of and credits for the release. The next two pages inside contain a large color photo of the band on stage along with copyright information. The fourth inside page features some fan art that adorns the front and back of an envelope sent to "Grateful Dead ticket sales - Oakland", along with two tickets for the show. The background of all of these pages is the same textured grey that appears on the cover.[5]
Caveat emptor
Each volume of Dick's Picks has its own "caveat emptor" label, advising the listener of the sound quality of the recording. The one for Volume 27 reads:
"Dick's Picks Vol. 27 was mastered directly from the original stereo soundboard digital audio tapes, and was not recorded with the intent of producing a commercial release. It may, therefore, contain some very minor anomalies, although everything in our power has been done to make it just exactly perfect."
