Dave's Picks Volume 3 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded on October 22, 1971 at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, Illinois, with bonus tracks from the previous night's show at the same venue. It was released on August 1, 2012.

Contents

The two concerts were keyboardist Keith Godchaux's second and third performances with the Dead. Though still a keyboardist and singer with the band, at the time Ron "Pigpen" McKernan was too ill to tour. Godchaux's first appearance with the Dead was October 19, 1971, at Northrop Auditorium, Minneapolis, MN . His sixth performance with the Grateful Dead, from the same tour, has been released as Download Series Volume 3. The band had played the Auditorium Theater (with McKernan) just two months prior, performances which have been released in part on the album Dick's Picks Volume 35.

Dave's Picks Volume 3 is the third of the Dave's Picks series of Grateful Dead archival releases, the successor to the Road Trips series. It was produced as a limited edition of 12,000 copies.

Critical reception

On All About Jazz, Doug Collette said, "Previous entries in Grateful Dead archive series have documented the quietly courageous, not to mention authoritative, fashion, by which keyboardist Keith Godchaux made a place of himself in the iconic band's lineup late in 1971, having been enlisted when charter member Ron "Pigpen" McKernan became too ill to tour regularly. But [none make] the case so vividly as does this latest entry in Dave's Pick's Volume 3."
