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!

hi and howdy gangsters. i just got here. what'd i miss. got this one with 15 minutes to spare. Nice one to return to. can we get a throwin stones for election day tomorrow?. you all know we're f'd right?
"Dead Freaks Unite" was on the first album
Skullf**k had "Dead Heads Unite"
Just sayin'
"look out, cause here comes some free advice..."
Reading all the gripes about quality, prizes, repeats or anything keeps me from wanting to read comments.
It reminds me of Bill Graham saying something like, "More More More...hang out and let the band decide" - ? Fillmore East April '70???
Many of the 30 days were shared in prior Novembers. Most of these 30 days releases have always been available in one place or another. Only time, research, bandwidth and Gigabytes stand in one's way.
IMO, listen and enjoy!!!
Since "dead freaks unite" in 'Skull & Roses", when they asked us to tell them who we are -- there's never been any band so connected to their audience. No doubt they tried to embody the ideals of the late 60's and put $$ behind the beliefs.
i appreciate these November morsels just as much as i did the 45 rpm freebies round records sent me in the 70's.
I aint preaching, more an old man's angst for the tomorrows big decision.
The file properties are locked down and can't be updated. Without being able to input an album title, song title and an Artist name, for the first time in 15 years I won't be able to add them to my music library.
You see?
