OnAllMusic , Timothy Monger said, "Asking basketball legend and notable Deadhead Bill Walton to write the liner notes forDave'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"), andSkull & Roses -era classics ("Me and My Uncle", "Bertha")."[ 6]
