Dick's Picks Volume 22 is a two-CD album by the rock group the Grateful Dead, the 22nd installment of the live archival release series. It documents portions of the concerts on February 23 and 24, 1968, at the Kings Beach Bowl in Kings Beach, California (located on the north shore of Lake Tahoe). It was released in June 2001.^[4]

Dick's Picks Volume 22 is mastered in HDCD from the original recordings by Dan Healy. The recordings are noted for being part of the live material used to create Anthem of the Sun, the Grateful Dead's second album.^[5]

Enclosure

Included with the release is a single sheet folded in half, yielding a four-page enclosure that slides out of the case, enabling its front page to also function as the CD's cover. The back features a white outline of a circular stealie skull superimposed on a mostly blue bird's-eye photographic view of some snow-covered trees.

Inside the enclosure, the page on the left side lists the contents of and credits for the release. The page on the right side features a blue-on-orange publicity poster for the shows. Entitled "Grateful dead morning glory", the poster includes the dates, location, and ticket price for the shows, "$3.00 [in] advance, $3.50 at the door." The center of the poster features a skeleton skiing downhill at night while wearing an orange scarf.^[6]

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 one for Volume 22 reads:

"Warning: This is not an audiophile recording! Many of you may have read the numerous Dick's Picks Caveat Emptors over the years and thought "Oh yeah... sure... whatever." Well, this old analog recording source exhibits many audio flaws including high distortion, low vocals, tape hiss, and missing pieces. No fair calling Customer Support and complaining! However, let it be known that this CD also includes some pretty damn exciting and historical music, and for that reason is brought to you with pride."
