Dave's Picks Volume 20 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded on December 9, 1981, at the CU Events Center in Boulder, Colorado. It was produced as a limited edition of 16,500 copies, and was released on November 1, 2016. The album art is by Justin Helton, featuring a skeleton riding a bike (a nod to Boulder's bicycle culture) with the iconic Flatirons in the background.
The album was the first one of the Dave's Picks series that was recorded after 1980. It was also the first Grateful Dead album that included the Rolling Stones' song "Satisfaction".
In All About Jazz, Doug Collette wrote, "A little over a year after the Grateful Dead began a concerted effort to change things up for themselves and their audience with extended sojourns at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco and Radio City Music Hall in New York, the group took residence ten-night run from whence this climax comes at the CU Events Center in Boulder. Well on the way to becoming more stylized than spontaneous, the band's comfort with themselves at this juncture in their career didn't preclude more than a little imagination and much of it was centered on keyboardist Brent Mydland, who had joined the band two years prior."
