Dr. Stan's Prescription, Volume 1 is a live album by the American rock band moe. It contains the complete concert recorded on board their Caribbean cruise on March 8, 2004, with bonus tracks recorded in Vail, Colorado on March 17, 1995.

This set features the first released versions of "Armageddon Jig" and "Farmer Ben".

Critical reception

On AllMusic, Patrick Leahey said, "The band sounds loose and comfortable during the [2004] cruise ship segment, a mood no doubt indebted for the sunshine and tropical vibes that permeated the pool deck... Rounding out the latter halves of discs two and three is the 1995 performance... Fans of the band will be interested in hearing the "then and now" switcheroo that this collection presents."
