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!
Could yesterday's generous Greek offering be an indicator of Picks to come? Finally some official release from the Greek Theatre? If so, why now and not before? If not, why not ever until now? I know this is a familiar question/debate for many of you listeners out there but I'd love to hear some POVs. Peace!
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet." The gang was feeling pretty loose this night. My first impression after listening had me two years too early. It's definitely The Other One.......other than the lyrics. Chief just wasn't ready to sing it apparently. Good sleuthing and good luck to all.
that confirmed it.
but when i look at a setlist that has wharfrat UP in the first set i move on.
when you choose your date you get several tapers recordings to listen to. one prominent one is a friend and i trust him implicitly but his name was not offered. my platform had four, two of them had wild set lists, one had good set list but taping was scrambled, finally went to fourth one after a mumble sent me back and all fell in to place.
the actual dod is amazing music.
now i must listen to whole show.
thanks for helping out people it helped but should not have given it away to others.
cool beans
peace

The sound of the drums and Bobby's tone should be dead giveaways as to the year. The fourth month of this year has almost as many official releases as the fifth a year prior.
