Dave's Picks Volume 44 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon on June 23, 1990. Also included is a performance of "Cold Rain and Snow" from the band's December 26, 1969 concert, which was cut from the previous Dave's Picks release due to lack of space. It was released on October 28, 2022, in a limited edition of 25,000 copies.
This concert was the first of a two-night stand in Eugene. The opening act for both shows was Little Feat.
Critical reception
On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "From an archival standpoint, it's notable for a number of reasons. A rare day show with gates opening at noon, there's a loose and lazy feel to this nearly three-hour concert – one of the longest of any era – which features some sterling contributions from keyboardist/singer Brent Mydland..."
