The recordings are from a period when the band was transitioning out of their long touring hiatus, trying out new songs on the road, and welcoming back second drummer, Mickey Hart.

The front duplicates the cover of the CD and the back features a circular outline of a stealie skull in red over a color photograph of a path in the woods extending into the distance.

The first two pages feature a collage consisting of a ticket stub for the September 28th show and a fan letter from "A Dead Head" along with three black-and-white photographs of Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh with Donna Jean Godchaux, and Bob Weir.

The fan letter states that its author has "always felt it to be unfair to force Dead Heads to turn to illegitimate & poor quality bootlegs" and suggests the band "put out a line of recordings of your concerts."

The middle two pages feature a photomontage of three color photographs of Keith Godchaux, Bill Kruetzmann with Mickey Hart, and the entire band on stage with a grey-ish background containing a blurry wing.
