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!
Dang this is my first year so.... :-)
after 14 years, I finally won a day! love 30 days every november! i guess i wait for the email now to get my calendar.....and maybe a box set (fingers crossed)!
Gotta say this lil community has been super fun to be a part of. Here’s to a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.
Cheers
Very interesting idea, the combined list would be really interesting to listen to but I'm not 100% there yet. With that said back in 2010, Furthur played a series of show up in Angels Camp Ca. Each night for three nights they played a full album which was a blast. We camped out and caught the full series after driving out from near Chicago. So I must say the theme idea is a good one.
Because the clues are already flying.
Enjoy it while it lasts!
Cheers
