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

    Some great shows at this venue...

    So many great shows at this venue. Both the overall band performance and sound quality are high up there on many tapes I have heard from this particular place.

    Love that segment right at the beginning of today's offering w/the low low notes. Then the part after the 1st verse/chorus of Other One. Some interesting guitar notes going on there.

    BTW - do not worry about the "spelling" or multiple venue names for the same place and what is on a ticket stub or what is on some website on the searches etc etc.... We have seen over the years that it does not matter what one chooses if there is any ambiguity. We have seen the same venue with slightly different naming come up on the revealed answer the next day. One year or one day the answer might show as "xxxx spelling venue with extra word" and... a different contest day or year the answer shows the venue name differently for the same place. What the website states here on the revealed answer the next day does NOT mean that one spelling or variant of a venue's name is "correct" or "incorrect". If you chose one variant and the answer came up differently with some other person's name as the winner it does not mean that you chose incorrectly. It only means that the "magic random ping pong ball picker" chose that other person's name and not yours. As long as you get the city/state/date and one of the variants of a confusing name of the correct venue then... you just might win for the day. We have seen this play out time and time again.

    Memories stirred by yesterday's choice

    05-23-82 Greek Theater reminded me of 05-15-83 Greek Theater, which reminded me of John Cippolina of Quicksilver Messenger Service who joined GOGD for 'Not Fade Away' to end the 2nd Set. I remember a guy selling posters of the 83 Greek Show from his trunk of his car in the lot possibly in '84, which has Bobby with his index finger in the air, John Cippolina on stage to the left of Jerry, and Jerry with his head tilted to the right, with Phil far stage right, and Brent far stage left, and the drummers are both easily seen: a masterful photo. There is also a mic with a foam cover to the left of the photo. If you search images for this said show you'll see what I'm writing about. I saw Cippolina play in Portland, OR at The Starry Night on 07-14-83 with The Dinosaurs, including Barry Melton, Robert Hunter, Peter Albin, Spencer Dryden, and guests: Jim Page, and Novato Frank Bonomolo. That night was so cool, until I saw Ken Kesey and Ken Babbs playing the Thunder Machine on stage during Space of the 05-08-84 show at Silva Hall, The Hult Center, Eugene, OR, which was just a tad cooler IMHO. The GOGD have a way of playing on another level when there has been a death in the family, and Jed Kesey had passed away in January of '84 when the University of Oregon Wrestling Team's van lost control on an icy road in southeastern Washington. In knew those roads well, as I was a college alpine ski racer/coach competing and traveling in the PNW from '82-'87, and I remember hearing the news of Jed on TV. Lucky we can all be here now. We have so much to be thankful for in the grand scheme of life.

    If you’re that scared of hints

    Just stop reading the comments and hunt on your own; worse than the hints are your daily lectures.

    They Just Don't Get It....

    I'm not that much into commenting on previous posts but I had to at this point. I see that a few here like to give away hints or clues into finding the correct show of that day. Look it's not that I'm desperate to win and be sent a calendar or win the big prize. It's the hunt and it brings many shows to go back on and enjoy. I myself could and will purchase such items. Please let us who like the hunt do it at our own free will. STOP WITH THE CLUES, NAMES, DATES, STATES AND VENUES.

    Opposite end of where I started but what a fabulous search. The Other One is just a monster!!!

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
