30 Days of Dead

30-days-of-dead-2024

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!

Hint:
A second set jam sequence that is about as classic from this era/year as it gets, featuring songs from 1967, 1970, and a double dose of 1972. We always try to go out with a bang during 30 Days Of Dead, and this certainly fits the bill

    Spoilers

    Saying that a specific show is not today's answer still counts. It's best to avoid mentioning venues and dates at all until the next day.

    Let it Grow'83

    I am always finding other gems of songs during the 30 Days of Dead Daze than the ones I am supposed to be searching out.
    Today is no exception! I been jamming Dave's #39 & #52 pretty heavy these past few weeks so the song Let it Grow is on the mind, from both spring and autumn tours.
    Anyways,.... There is a really killer Let it Grow from 9/18 1983 in Grass Valley, CA.
    NO, NOT THE ONE WE'RE LOOKING FOR! Though one of the best Brent versions I have ever heard!

    Not too much of a ramble this morning

    Narrowed it down from a short list of 20+ reasonably quickly. Now listening to the full concert.

    A lot better today than my hopeless efforts to solve yesterday's. Congratulations to all those who got the China>Rider right. I was out by a year; convionced myself it was 1972.

    today b easier

    the possibilities today cover a large number of years
    it’s three am here
    just woke to check if i got china right
    will start this one in morning.

    good morning at nine am, easy cues, and intro/outro
    got it, now today i have time to listen to whole show
    good hunting to all

Yesterday's answer...
Indianapolis, IN, Market Square Arena
The two tours that surrounded the Fall Tour of 1976 (Summer 1976's comeback tour, and Spring 1977's tour of excellence) often overshadow this tour, but there are many great nights from September and early October 1976, including this great show in Indianapolis
Yesterday's Winner...
