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!

Yeah, I'd noticed it as a repeat from 2016 and 2021. But usually no one would reveal it because it would give it away, or give too much of a hint.
got the Hi Res file...a big ol' wave....hahahaaaa
that no one revealed BTW was a repeat from 2021...but I didn't go back very far
Yowza! I’m mostly chill/easygoing but I’d be one squeaky wheel if that happened to me. Especially last year when I waited too long and couldn’t get the HCS box before it sold out.
Not one of my favorite songs, but I really like this version--and Phil sounds great on it, RIP.
I admit I was off substantially at first but once I got there it synched up nicely and sounded great. Good fun search and I discovered a couple new shows I need to check out more thoroughly. Love November!!
