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!
Do you have to win a calendar to be entered for the box, or do you just need to guess one day correctly?
Please fix these downloads to 320, they are all 124 so far... thank you
Great version of a favorite - may be me, but seems like Phil is turned up in the mix. Either way, he’s on fire here. Thanks for sharing!
There's daytime video footage of this concert on youtube. If anyone needs a link, I will share it. Tomorrow. :) It's historically interesting to see for sure.
Edit: CORRECTION: Never mind. I had the right date and year on the video, but it was the wrong month. I got the guess right, but there's no footage of this which I have found. It's still interesting to see, though.
Very lo-res files, are you going to fix these or is this it for the month? This has happened in other years but after a day or two the lo-res ones were replaced with better files.
