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!

Already knew the show just by looking at the setlist and that it was part of a monster 1st set chock full of songs that were often rarities. One of my faves from that era.
So inviting, a 5-pack of fun for our ears.
Kind of a gimme today. Not too many options for you hear that same sweet set of songs combined again.
Shouldn't take you too long Wondering what show to choose.
Must admit it's kind of frightening when the Day is this easy...
Thanks David, now I can go for a longer hike.
Wow, I know I haven't listened to as many shows as other folk here, so maybe this is nothing out of the ordinary (however and if ever you can say the Dead were ordinary...!), but blimey Jerry's soloing on Deal is just magnificent!

As mentioned by other poster here. Good source for multiple song searching.
Hint: if any site gives you trouble or confusing results try searching only ONE word of the song title(s). A key word that will really narrow it down.
Have fun!
