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 put this SBD up to one ear synched with an AUD of the same show in the other, causing both China cats observing to be very alarmed at the spontaneous dancing that ensued.
of Estimated Prophet.
I think my brain is fried this time ... too weary to push further. I may have to bail which I never do. As I don't have dead base as a source, I suspect I am missing something or an error in setlist somewhere. I understand it is from right in there when I was seeing a lot of showa but I am lost today.
Especially for Bundubush - one of yours helped me out a few days back...
The hint today is actually helpful. Start at either end and you will find it before the end of the year.
Someone said that earlier and right on! Jerry sounding so so beautiful on that Eyes. This one wasn't so tough, got it on the 2nd guess. Thankful for Dead Base!
