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!
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

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

I think this is the hardest one of the year so far.
Probably took a few hours total as I've been searching off-and-on all day.
Hope it's not giving too much away to reveal that my approach was basically to listen to Bill at the beginning. Fun journey though, great era for sure!
I started at one year then thought hmmm close but it's all about that 1st guitar solo after the 1st verse. The approach... so I went with another year and found it after a few choices. Love that swingin' Billy K! And it's always great to hear something with twin lead guitars trading off and harmonizing. That one guy can really play some lead guitar when he puts his mind to is.
I can listen to the China>Riders from this entire period they all just get me high riding those jams in the transition.
I was able to identify the period pretty quickly, but still a lot of happy hunting ensued. A nice challenge.
FOUND IT
took till three thirty eastern, with lots of breaks but i knew i had the year and just went one by one
cool beans
thanks dave
gave up on the comments
started the year and went one by one…every few i go back to dod to reoriente myself, only maybes had bad set lists, but the one that was it was so crystal clear in every way.
glad i’m old and retired, time for a joint and a nap
see yall tomorrow
