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!

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.
I got lucky again.
2nd pull.
Killing it this year!
Cheers
A Chillin Wharf Rat IMO, Absolutely Beautiful.
Plus that female voice harmonizing with the male voices on different songs is especially sensitive and gentle and IMO the Bass Player is VERY Strong Here. :-D
Sundays are for football, RED ZONE BABY. Peas'
And once again, I get dinged for choosing the wrong spelling and going with the Americanized version of the word rather than the King’s English. Knew it would be a problem as it’s been for other choices. Got lucky in finding today’s pick; found it from the Bobby mumble.
