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!
I have all from beginning. How can I get zipped file to you?
PM sent.
According to my notes 1970 is the only year which has had a song every DoD year.
1971 - every year except this one (thus far).
EDIT - chart removed, formatting is horrible
Been playing the 30 Days guessing game since it started - such a great tradition. Been going to shows since 1973 and made it to quite a few, including ones that show up here. I have a good track record, mostly correct but I have never won any of the days. Yesterday was such a casual toss off for me - I got it in a single guess, submitted my answer and headed off to the Family T-Day. Slept late, just checked in here, found out I've won! It's gratifying and I'm grateful! Thanks for all your work on this, Dave!
