Dave's Picks Volume 16 is a three-CD live album by the rock band the Grateful Dead. It contains the complete concert recorded on March 28, 1973 at the Springfield Civic Center in Springfield, Massachusetts. It was produced as a limited edition of 16,500 numbered copies, and was released on November 1, 2015.[1][2][3][4]

Dave's Picks Volume 16 was the first release by the Grateful Dead to feature singer Donna Godchaux's rendition of Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough", a country song performed just 15 times by the band, all in 1973. Another album that includes Godchaux singing this tune is Worcester, MA, 4/4/73, a live archival release by the New Riders of the Purple Sage.
