Comparisons to unofficial releases reveal that there is an edit to the song "He's Gone," removing a mistake by Garcia where he repeated the song's chorus rather than singing the bridge.

This was the first Dick's Picks released after the death of Dick Latvala for whom the series is named. The liner notes include a picture of Latvala with the following message:[4]

People of Earth...
Greetings from the great beyond. I am contacting you at this time to assure you that all is well and to let you know that Dick's Picks shall continue in my absence just as before. My plans for future releases are well known to my teammates and they have sworn with their blood to remain true to the cause. I hope this release will alleviate any doubts concerning my posthumous powers.

— The Archivist formerly known as Dick

This is the first Dick's Picks to use the High Definition Compatible Digital (HDCD) CD format.

gollark: It is also worse than *that*. The core bits of Android, i.e. Linux, the basic Android frameworks, and a few built-in apps are open source. However, over time Google has moved increasing amounts of functionality into "Google Play Services". Unsurprisingly, this is *not* open source.
gollark: Which also often contain security changes and won't make their way to lots of devices... ever! Fun!
gollark: This is at least slightly better than the situation if you use your manufacturer's official OS images, since you can at least get new *Android* changes without updating the kernel.
gollark: You're basically entirely reliant on your device manufacturer *and* whoever supplies them continuing to exist and being nice to you. I think there are still a bunch of *remotely exploitable* vulnerabilities in the wireless stack present on a bunch of phones because nobody has ever bothered to patch them.
gollark: So if you do compile it you'll still be stuck with possible horrible security issues, due to not actually getting any driver updates.
