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!

I just give up!
I'm right there with you. I have been searching all day and am still searching. I will wait to throw in the towel, but this might also be my first. Love Nov 30 Days of Dead!
Gonna have to throw in the towel on this one, for the first time ever. I have listened to more than 100 versions and can’t seem to find it. I feel like I’ve got it nailed down to a pretty specific window of time, but nothing seems to match.
The comments below in the answer to yesterday even say.... "This duo of songs is from the final Grateful Dead performance at Madison Square Garden."
Felt Forum is fake news....
@Shindigger amen brother.
my single most favorite song of all music.
i have always pictured the coda of the album version as everyone in the whole wide world sitting around a campfire, singing together.
also, thanks Dawg !
