While they were together, from 1965 to 1995, the Grateful Dead released thirteen studio albums and nine contemporary live albums. The nine live albums were recently recorded and mostly contained previously unreleased original material. They filled the role of traditional studio albums, and were an integral part of the contemporaneous evolution of the band. (The Dead's second album, ''Anthem of the Sun'', was an experimental amalgam of studio and live material.)
In 1991, the band started releasing retrospective live albums, a practice that has continued to the present time. There are several series of these albums. The "traditional" live releases were created by remixing multitrack recording

Studio and contemporary live albums
Unconventionally, the Grateful Dead made the release of live albums a common occurrence throughout their career. Because many were recently recorded and included previously unreleased original material, they often filled the role of traditional studio albums. An integral part of the contemporaneous evolution of the band, such live albums are included in this section.

Dick's Picks
In the 1990s and 2000s, the Grateful Dead released numerous live concert recordings from their archives in three concurrent series. The "From the Vault" series are remixes of multi-track recording

(The first three volumes were also released on VHS videotape.) Both of these series are included in the ''"Retrospective" live albums'' list above.
The third series of concert releases is Dick's Picks, which are based on two-track concert recordings. Unlike multi-track recordings, two-track recordings cannot be remix

The Dick's Picks series, which started in 1993, was named after Grateful Dead tape vault archivist Dick Latvala. Latvala selected shows with the band's approval and oversaw the production of the albums. After Latvala's death in 1999, David Lemieux became the Dead's tape archivist and took over responsibility for producing subsequent Dick's Picks releases, as well as his own Dave's Picks series. Latvala and Lemieux worked with recording engineer Jeffrey Norman, who was in charge of mastering the CDs. The last Dick's Pick's compilation was released in 2005.
Volume 15 and later were released in HDCD format. This provides enhanced sound quality when played on CD players with HDCD capability, and is fully compatible with regular CD players.
Digital downloads
In the summer of 2005 the Dead began offering download versions of both their existing live releases, and a new Internet-only series, ''The Grateful Dead Download Series'', that was available through their own online store (which offered the albums in both 256 kbit/s mp3 files and FLAC

Not surprisingly, these Internet-only albums have met with the same success as their CD-based brethren. The ''Download Series'' is no longer available for purchase on the Grateful Dead's website. However, they are still available for purchase from the iTunes Music Store as well as from Nugs.net, which offer them in FLAC, Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) and mp3 formats. Amazon also has them available in mp3 format.
Road Trips
The ''Road Trips'' series of albums is the successor to ''Dick's Picks''. The series started after the Grateful Dead signed a ten-year contract with Rhino Records

to release the band's archival material. The ''Road Trips'' releases are created using two-track concert recordings, but unlike ''Dick's Picks'' they each contain material from multiple concerts of a tour. The production of the CDs is supervised by vault archivist David Lemieux, with mastering by sound engineer Jeffrey Norman. Like the later ''Dick's Picks'', the ''Road Trips'' albums are released in HDCD format.
Dave's Picks
The ''Dave's Picks'' albums followed the ''Road Trips'' series. They are named after Grateful Dead tape archivist David Lemieux.
