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

    2nd set Earthquake

    Another era that I absolutely love. With the outstanding 2nd set rumbles, makes me wonder what the sky looked like? Did it open up? Was that thunder? Not sure but that 2nd set was lightning. Take a listen!

    STOP the SPOILERS

    Please give NO dates, number of occurrences, band members, venues, cities, eras, or any other specific clue as to the answer for a particular day. Already someone has given a slightly misleading hint as to today’s answer. Keep it fun for all. There are those days when a clue might help, but if one day you actually don’t get the answer- well, perfection isn’t what this exercise is all about. That being said, I did appreciate the Beatles hint yesterday (and hit up SETLIST FM after to check) but too much will just give it away.

    The little Jerry riff during the outro of RIDER was the giveaway yesterday. Find one thing to go on. Of course flubs or lyric mistakes make it easy as pumpkin pie, but for me, it’s always easy to rely on the first few or last few notes, or transitions/segues if they exist.

    Not enough time for me to find. I think I hsve correct decade/ year but didn't have time to find exact show. My best year yet with 8 correct, and a ton of shows to relisten too. Thanks Dave and goodluck all

    Stupid

    Started my search by looking at DeadLists, thinking there wouldn't be too many. Shoulda listened first.
    Edit: Third try. Don't let Bobby fool y'all.

    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.
    (~):-=]

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...
