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!
wow
so many wrong and impossible guesses in comments already.
would love to talk to some as to how they think their choice is even close.
oh well
maybe tomorrow
enough cues, hints, and things in actual song today that for most no help is needed but a list and an ear.
happy holiday to all
I heard two phrases of Jerry’s intro solo, and got this one on the first try.
Rosebud 12/31/89 - 6/26/93
Older guitars continued to be used: Wolf appears on 7/23/90 & 2/23/93 (among others), Tiger and Wolf in the Nov. 1991 JGB run.
So you can assume Rosebud but Wolf and Tiger were not collecting dust and were used from time to time.
Edit: VooDooNola2 on YT has posted video this entire show, it was in fact Rosebud from start to finish this night.
This is where a Mod would come in handy as they could simply delete the post.
The community can only do so much, if the Original Poster is not paying attention, the glaring fopaux remains.
Anywho interesting day.... Thanks for the hint DAVE :-)
Maybe it is a bit easier this year.
Hard to believe I'm better at it, lol.
Missed one and the hardest one I skipped.
Today was pretty easy too.
Had my list and went backwards and had a near match that almost fooled me. Then of course it was the first one on the list. Why is it something is always in the last place you look for it? Because you stopped looking when you found it.
Cheers
