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!
In all the previous years of the 30 Days in November the downloaded files are 320 kbps mp3 files. The first download for 2024 is 128 kbps. Can we get 320 kbps files? Thanks!
I did not always gravitate to the Phil Zone but when I did I danced my ass off. Rest Easy Phil, and Thank You for a REAL GOOD TIME. This is a great Nov tradition to keep the community vibrant, Thank You dead.net.
Hi. You need to be on the main song entry section and click the Enter the Contest link way at the bottom. Instead of the email invite link, try the simple url that is just double u double u double u dot dead dot net slash 30daysofdead
(Sorry we cannot post links or urls into comments .... gee dee dot net does not allow that which is frustrating but necessary to combat spammers and hackers etc. )
If the url at the top of the screen you are on shows the word "comment" once or more then you are in the comments section of that day's entry and you can't enter a guess from there.
can't find where to vote. tried entering from the email and just the web site, but still don't see it...
The "couple of songs" you are asking about are Playing in the Band and The Wheel.
Edit: And the hints aren't always actual "hints," like this one.
