Dick's Picks Volume 10 is the tenth live album in the Dick's Picks series of releases by the Grateful Dead. It was recorded at Winterland Arena in San Francisco on December 29, 1977, with extra tracks recorded on the following night.

Contents

The album omits the songs "It Must Have Been the Roses" and "Sunrise", which followed "Good Lovin'". It also includes the first performance of "China Cat Sunflower" in over three years, which is audibly greeted with applause from the audience. The final four tracks on disc three constitute the songs taken from the December 30 concert.

The show was highly regarded long before its release as a commercial CD, having circulated among bootleg tape traders.

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 label for Volume 10 reads:

"This release was digitally mastered directly from the original half track 7½ ips analog tapes. It is a snapshot of history, not a modern professional recording, and although it may exhibit some minor technical anomalies, it is nothing more or less than just exactly perfect."
