Download Series Volume 5 is a live album by the rock band Grateful Dead. It features the complete concert recorded on March 27, 1988, at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Virginia. The album was released as a digital download on September 6, 2005.[1][2]

Except for the first two songs, which are sourced from an "Ultra-Matrix" soundboard/audience tape hybrid, the concert is derived from the soundboard master. The album was mastered in HDCD by Jeffrey Norman.

The show features one of only eight performances of Bob Dylan's "Ballad of a Thin Man" by the Grateful Dead. The show also features the band's sole performance of Miles Davis' "So What".
