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!
Holy Moses Malone Folks! Your supposed to be Deadheads, Hippies, free spirits.
It's just a game ( And a silly one at that) Stop with the hate and anguish. Who cares ? we get free music and we all know you are so much smarter than the rest of us. Lighten up Francis !
The Boys are "Firing On All Cylinders".
I could not agree more. In my 12 years of playing this is the absolute worst I have ever seen. Someone posts the obvious answer, through the obvious clue, gets reminded not to post obvious clues, then someone else does the same thing 45 minutes later.
Like I said: I could not agree more.
Yesterdays Beatles (hint) to me was not even a hint as smallz said 30K kids at the venue which I dismissed immediately for the time period (only Billy drumming Feb 71 Oct 74 ) was not drawing 30k. Later in the day firstshow mentioned that copper dome bodhi was a hint about the venue which to me again was not a hint as I had never been there and did know what the venue looks like, but they did mention Keith on Keys which I though was TMI.
Which is why I cant agree more mentioning names, dates, venues and other specific details ( like never miss a Sunday show is TMI in my book) and is a huge bummer to us that know a little and like to research and learn.
I do like reading the comments as cool stories and thoughts are part of the fun but it seems for me the comment section comes after I have submitted my answer for the day.
We are self modding this lil chat section so when we see something we need to speak up, it might be gray area as the line can get blurry when dropping a sneaky hint can be TMI for one person and not even be considered a hint to others, but let try and be mindful what we are saying.
Didn't take me too long to Ramble on to this show.
What shall we say on this 23rd Day?
Do yourself a favor, and listen to this entire show.
Looking forward to David letting it flow these next 7 Days.
