Dick's Picks Volume 20 is the 20th installment of the popular Grateful Dead archival series. It documents the majority of the concerts on September 25, 1976 at the Capital Centre in Landover, Maryland and September 28, 1976 at the Onondaga County War Memorial in Syracuse, New York.

It is mastered in HDCD from the original recordings by Dan Healy. The recordings are from a period when the band was transitioning out of their long touring hiatus, trying out new songs on the road, and welcoming back second drummer, Mickey Hart. The last performance of "Cosmic Charlie" is on this installment. Though not represented on this release, "Bertha" was also performed on the 28th, and "It's All Over Now" on the 25th. The show from the night before the latter concert was released on Dave's Picks Volume 4.
