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!
Well now you have. I won the grand prize in 2021 - Listen to the River box set.
RIP Phil.
Thanks for sharing this Phil gem today David!
Cherish well your thoughts as you listen to this awesome trio.
Just one thing I ask of you, no matter how tempting, please do not post your guess for the date in comments. We know you are proud of your findings as you should be. Just ruins the hunt for others.
November is sure flying by.
Love will surely see us through these next 15 Days.
Wow i really love that box of rain, just finishing up some housekeeping than i gotta hear this whole show.
Okay, forget only about half of what I said earlier. DEADBASE X does have it correct. I apologize to the authors and to everyone I steered incorrectly.
So today should be an easy one….
What a day to be alive! Great selection - celebrate with some bubbly perhaps?
