Dave's Picks Volume 55


Dave's Picks Volume 55 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains a recording of the complete concert performed on October 28, 1990, at Le Zénith in Paris, France. It also includes bonus songs recorded at a concert two nights later at Wembley Arena in London, England. It was released on July 25, 2025, in a limited edition of 25,000 copies.
In October and November 1990 the Grateful Dead performed an 11-concert European tour, with shows in Sweden, Germany, France, and England.
From September 1990 to March 1992, the lineup of the band included two keyboardists – Vince Welnick and Bruce Hornsby. Volume 55 is the first in the Dave's Picks series to feature Welnick and Hornsby.

Critical reception

On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "The newly developing Vince-Bruce interplay makes this one special, as does a Dylan two-fer and other highlights like "Touch of Grey", "Looks Like Rain", and the Hornsby cut "Stander on the Mountain"."
