Dave's Picks Volume 42 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead.

It contains the complete concert recorded on February 23, 1974 at the Winterland Arena in San Francisco.

[1][2][3] Some copies of the album include a bonus CD with songs recorded at the same venue the previous night.

The concert from the following night, also at Winterland, was released in 2015 as Dave's Picks Volume 13.

On AllMusic Timothy Monger said, "Captured at one of their regular haunts, San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom, on the night of Saturday, February 23, this blazing gig heralds the dawn of the band's fabled Wall of Sound PA system, resulting in a clear, clean recording of era classics like "Row Jimmy", "Stella Blue", and "Eyes of the World" from their 1973 studio set Wake of the Flood.
