Dave's Picks Volume 25 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded on November 6, 1977, at Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton, New York. It was produced as a limited edition of 18,000 copies, and was released on January 26, 2018.
On AllMusic, Timothy Monger said, "The 25th volume of the long-running archival Grateful Dead series Dave's Picks marks the first official release of an oft-bootlegged show from the waning days of 1977.... The energy remains high throughout both sets, which include sprightly takes on favorites like "Jack Straw", "The Music Never Stopped", and other standards from that era's repertoire."
In Glide Magazine, Doug Collette wrote, "Binghamton, NY 11/6/77 is yet another cull from the treasure trove from whence came Cornell May 1977, a remarkably true-to-life recording by Betty Cantor-Jackson that finds the band on the proverbial fire during a show spreading throughout the three CDs of which it's comprised.... The compulsion is so great to sit down and listen ever so closely, to the exclusion of any other sensory input."
