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!
Really stumped on this one as well, great pick for Day 2 after a relatively easy Day 1.
The comment made regarding the noodling after the song made me even more confused though, as I spent a long time trying to deduce that to no avail. Some people just have an ear for this that I do not yet I suppose..
All I can say is this one has some pretty sweet playing by Weir..
"From the post Candyman noodling I was able to correctly identify the next tune played..." How, in God's name? I'm a musician and pretty dang well-versed in the repertoire, all I get is "some song in the key of C".
Wake up, derpenthaler!
