Download Series Volume 4 is a live album by the rock band Grateful Dead. It was released as a digital download on August 2, 2005, and is a three disc set featuring virtually all of the June 18, 1976 show from the Capitol Theatre in Passaic, New Jersey.[1] The song "Tennessee Jed" was omitted due to technical problems on the master tape that could not be resolved during mastering. To compensate for this omission, the third disc includes highlights from concerts later in June 1976 in Philadelphia and Chicago.
June 1976 marked the beginning of a near non-stop touring circuit by the Grateful Dead that would last until the band's dissolution in 1995 following Jerry Garcia's passing. This period also saw the return of Mickey Hart as the second drummer, ending his five-year hiatus. In mid-June, the band performed three consecutive nights at the Capitol Theatre.
New songs for 1976 included "The Music Never Stopped", "Crazy Fingers", "Samson and Delilah", and "The Wheel". The show also featured one of only five Grateful Dead performances of Garcia's song "Mission In The Rain".
Volume 4 was mastered in HDCD by Jeffrey Norman.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote on AllMusic, "Nearly all of the Passaic show is here, running 20 tracks over the equivalent of two discs, while the excerpts from the Philadelphia show run nine tracks, all containing songs unplayed in Jersey. This includes a rather epic "Playing in the Band" – 23 minutes that lead into "Drums" and "The Wheel" before returning for a three-minute reprise of "Playing". Such bravura jams are largely absent on the low-energy Passaic show... [which] is generally a lazy stroll through a fairly familiar set list; pleasant, but not especially memorable."[2]
