Found this Grateful Dead picture on Reddit

Looks like it's in 1972 in Europe, maybe Germany?

Left to right:

Donna Godchaux
Keith Godchaux
Jerry Garcia
Ron "Pigpen" McKernan
Bob Weir
Frankie Azzara
Bill Kreutzmann
Bill's wife/girlfriend?

Edit to add: Phil Lesh is not shown. Maybe he took the picture. Also, Mickey Hart had left the band in 1971, and returned in 1974, so he is not shown.

Judging by Donna's slacks, this is about the same time they did the "Beat Club" performances in Bremen, Germany.
