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!
besides the fact that one of our regulars has a full excel sheet for all 15 years. i’m not that great at compressing or zipping but if u send me email i have each year for most as a album with the whole 30 days for each year at least as far back as 2014. i could try to copy and compress them for you or burn cd and mail them. might take some time but do able.
let me know what u think
peace

Though I don't have much experience with this song and had kind of forgotten it until today. But it always draws me in and bends my ear to listen so to speak. I do always wonder who the "You" is in the lyrics, or who Hunter wrote those lyrics for, if he wrote them to anyone/thing at all. Too late to ask him now. Thanks anyway Bob.
That phaser/chorus effect swoosh when you get the 2 audio players to sync up is always fun. Don't know much about this show. Never got to this venue but had friends that ventured and said it was a blast to see a show there.
Today’s Attics just cleaved my poor heart in two. A stunning version that I’m now telling all those that I love to listen to asap.
Love all you beauties here. Peace my friends.
Started too far in the future, so ended up working back in time. Narrowed it down to five, found it on the second try. As others have said, I'm getting good at this. Been playing since year one, but this is by far my best ever.
