Download Series Volume 3 is a live album by the rock band Grateful Dead. It was recorded on October 26, 1971, at the Palestra in Rochester, New York, and released as a digital download on July 5, 2005.[1] [2]

This marks the fifth show with new keyboardist Keith Godchaux, who joined the band due to Ron "Pigpen" McKernan's declining health. This release presents an almost complete concert, with the exception of "Beat It On Down the Line" which was played after "Loser" but was omitted from the album. The album was mastered in HDCD by Jeffrey Norman.
