Volume 5 is the fifth in a series of live digital downloads of the band the Grateful Dead released by The Grateful Dead Productions. It was released on September 6, 2005 and is a three disc set featuring all of the March 27, 1988 show from the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, VA. Except for the first two songs being from an "Ultra-Matrix" soundboard/audience tape hybrid, the concert is from the soundboard master.

The show included one of only eight times the Grateful Dead played Bob Dylan's "Ballad Of A Thin Man". The show also features the only time the band performed Miles Davis' "So What".

Volume 5 was mastered in HDCD by Jeffrey Norman.
