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!
I think it's 3/2/1981. Brent and a slow Wheel makes me think it's early 80's.
People noticed this a couple weeks ago. This should even things up a bit for those of us who don't generally use the archive to validate our guesses. Good luck!
Cheers
..the jig by shouting it through your zipper!
It is just me or are none of the track links on the archive working any longer? I click on a track but nothing happens. Tried 2 different browsers. 30 Days is going to be impossible without this working.
Might be best to copy it from the email right now.
