Dave's Picks Volume 1 is a three-CD live album by the band the Grateful Dead.[1][2][3][4] It was recorded on May 25, 1977, at the Mosque in Richmond, Virginia, and contains the complete concert from that date. It was released on February 1, 2012.[5]

The album is the first in the Dave's Picks series of Grateful Dead archival releases, the successor to the Road Trips series.[6] It is a limited edition of 12,000 individually numbered copies.[5]

The cover art, by Scott McDougall, depicts the hands of two skeletons in outer space, with clashing drumsticks that resemble lightsabers. This is a nod to the film Star Wars, which was released the same date that the concert was recorded.[7]

Dave's Picks Volume 1 was released as a five-disc vinyl LP on May 1, 2022.
