Grateful Dead Download Series: Family Dog at the Great Highway is a live album by the rock band Grateful Dead. It was released as a digital download on December 6, 2005, alongside Grateful Dead Download Series Volume 8. The album was recorded on February 4, 1970, at the Family Dog at the Great Highway in San Francisco, California. Three of the songs (tracks 1,4, and 5) were broadcast on a NET television special at the time.[1][2][3]

Three bonus tracks also date from 1970 in San Francisco. "Dancing in the Streets" is from October 5, 1970; "Monkey and the Engineer" and "Good Lovin'" are from December 31, 1970 (see The Closing of Winterland for another track from the latter concert).

Note that this album should not be confused with the similarly titled Family Dog at the Great Highway, San Francisco, CA 4/18/70, which was recorded the same year at the same venue.
