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

    Great Show

    I always loved this run of shows. And back in the day, they were some of my first crispy tapes so I knew this sound right away.

    FRANCIS?

    Hey saintfilberto, after looking at all the posts to find FRANCIS, I realized that you were quoting from film STRIPES… very funny! But never forget that the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog…

    10-2-76

    while checking out other Let It Grows in my 30 DoD file, I came upon 10-2-76 and it occurred to me that this next Dave's Picks release has several tracks on it from past 30 DoD years: the exquisite Let It Grow>Might As Well from the end of set 1, The Music Never Stopped set 2 opener, and the late 2nd set jam sequence of The Other One>Stella Blue>The Other One>Sugar Mags.

    So remember, Lemieux just might release one of these 30 DoD shows if we are lucky enough. Today's show would definitely get my vote!

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
