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!
Truly thankful for the Grateful Dead.
I didn't have the chance to participate yesterday. Set out running and took my time to be with the family.
Today's trio was easier than putting gravy on the mashed potatoes.
Have a feeling you & me bound to spend more time on the last Day.
How can November almost be over?
I vote for 365 Days of Dead.
Wonder if David has ever considered posting results or statistics for how many people get each day correct and the the most Dedicated throughout the 30 Days. Would be fun to evaluate.
Even quicker work than yesterday, cats. Woo hoo, first try again. Lovin' it, as always. Almost time to Bid You Goodnight.
Hard to come by

10 years traveling this bus and ever Grateful for the 30 Days sucking me into such a pleasant trip. Hours and hours of free & GRATEFUL tunes, great banter amongst these fans/heads, as well as the occasional throwing stones for a repeat or sound quality of a chosen track.
Thanks Dead, thanks Dave, thanks to all of you for being here sharing as you do!
If that isn't straight out of a detective movie, I wouldn't know what is. Obviously stated but I can't understand why. Could be due to some other things taking place that year? IMO this tour rocks from start to finish.
