Dave's Picks Volume 1 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. 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.
The album is the first in the Dave's Picks series of Grateful Dead archival releases, the successor to the Road Trips series. It is a limited edition of 12,000 individually numbered copies.
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.
Dave's Picks Volume 1 was released as a five-disc vinyl LP on May 1, 2022.
