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!
There are hundreds of opportunity's to purchase live dead recordings out there.
Why can't this just be what it is ?
Without spoillish complaints?
I would confirm your notion that some would PAY $1.00 per song for a pristine download.
But I hardly think that it would cover the cost of doing so.
I love the notion of 30 days of November being a non commercial release of unreleased treasures.
"One man gathers what another man spills"
I really enjoy November, because The 30 Days of Dead. I am so happy that it is back again for another year. This band gives so much back to us fans. I am so happy they have shared so much with us over the course of my lifetime.
Forever Grateful!
While it's wonderful that we have this gift of free Mp3's every November, I have a proposal. Could you also offer lossless or hi-res formats for a small fee, like maybe $1 a song? I'm sure many fans would happily pay it to have better quality downloads. Thanks.

Hey, not one to be a complainer, but we would ALL be grateful if these tunes were re-upped in 320 at least. Please & thank you. :)
