Dave's Picks Volume 2 is a three-CD live album by the band the Grateful Dead. It was recorded on July 31, 1974, at Dillon Stadium in Hartford, Connecticut.[1][2][3][4] It was released on May 1, 2012.

The album contains the complete July 31, 1974 concert, except for "Seastones". This musical piece was written by Ned Lagin. It was performed by Lagin and Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh between the second and third sets of the concert.[5] "Seastones" is a loosely structured composition, partially improvised in performance, that is an early example of electronic music, with many of the sounds generated using synthesizers and computers. Part of the June 28, 1974 performance of "Seastones" was included in Dick's Picks Volume 12.

Dave's Picks Volume 2 was the second in the Dave's Picks series of Grateful Dead archival releases, the successor to the Road Trips series.[6] It was a limited edition of 12,000 copies,[1] all but 2,500 of which were pre-sold with the 2012 Dave's Picks subscription series.[7]

A bonus disc was included with shipments of the album to 2012 Dave's Picks subscribers. This disc contains tracks recorded on July 29, 1974 at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland.

Dave's Picks Volume 2 was released as a seven-disc vinyl LP on February 2, 2024, in a limited edition of 5,000 copies.
