30 Days of Dead
It's a Dead Head's most wonderful time of the year! Welcome to another 30 days of unreleased Grateful Dead tracks from the vault, one for every day of the month, selected by archivist and producer David Lemieux. The tracks are yours, 100% free gua-ran-teed, but the real fun is taking part in the challenge for the chance to win some sweet swag from the Dead.
Those of you who know what to do, feel free to skip right on ahead. For those of you who need a refresher, here's the drill:
You know your Ables from your Bakers from your C's, but can your finely tuned ears differentiate the cosmic "comeback" tour from a spacey 70s show? Each day we'll post a song from one of the Dead's coveted shows. Will it be from that magical night at Madison Square Garden in '93 or from way back when they were just starting to warm it up at Winterland? Is that Pigpen's harmonica we hear? Brent on keys? If you think you know, lob your answer in and you just might find yourself taking home our daily prize of a 2025 Grateful Dead wall calendar or the grand prize – a copy of limited, numbered, FRIEND OF THE DEVILS: APRIL '78 boxed set!

One of my favorite Dylan songs, and one of my favorite Beatles songs..... And an Ikonic Iko .... Quite a show so late in the game.
Thank you to all for the music. You have brought us all great joy.
Have to agree - not only yesterday, but today's show as well (another that I had not stumbled upon before). Not without a few minor flaws, but a number of really satisfying versions, this trio included. Nice, laid back FOTD with some choice keys, and what a beautiful blend of the voices!
BTW, an easy show to find, but here's a crumb: this venue was also the scene of the last concert by a very well known American star.
Thanks again to Dave for this year's bountiful harvest and to all of you for comments and encouragement. Here's to the good old Grateful Dead - and the Archive.
No, not the song from yesterday. Tomorrow's final day of the 30 Days. My best year yet, but no win. Hoping they are saving me for the grand prize. Win or lose, it has been a great ride again.
i'm agreeing with @ever grateful.
please, if you can spare any loose change, give what you can to the Internet Archive, one of the places where the 'net is the best it can be.
