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!
“Grateful Dead shows with consecutive Scarlet Begonias, Fire on the Mountain
total: 239”
lol
I wonder who is writing the hints and also writing the answers?
I have four or five studio albums by Kingfish, so how can their first studio album be their ONLY studio effort?

always love scarlet fire -- intrigued by JGs 1/2 second comment after "heart of gold band". anyone know if it was a cue to the band....or to BIg Steve or crew...or board?
always something new with every listen?
Hope you had a great day.
Don't know you (or maybe I do from all those long ago encounters, who knows...) but I know you from 30 days!!
And yes, I'm glad the H was added to the Stanley Theater Pittsburgh show--that really bothered me, but hey I'll smoke a joint and sleep more easily tonight knowing it's been fixed!
From Day 1: "...followed by Jerry's The Heel from his first sold album."
