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 didn't know how to submit the show.
I should of scrolled to bottom of page.
Sorry
It only took until November 16th, but finally a show that I was at! I think that’s me screaming “I need a miracle ev-er-y day!”
I found it on page 192 of my DB50. What's interesting is the bottom of the pages in that section show that those "every time played" lists are from DB XI.
The only time I have been on the rail for a Phish concert was at Assembly Hall, back in the Fall of 1996. Fun imagining the Dead in that flying saucer-like space.
I got a feeling and it won't go away, that we may have visited this wonderful show in past Days.
Every time we hear Jerry bellow “I’d rather be with you”, I believe it carries us all just a little bit further than we have ever been before.
Phil is now sharing that lovely view of heaven with Jerry, Pigpen, Brent, Vince, Keith, and all his other friends.
Just one thing I got to say, Ain’t no Man as psyched as me to see The Avetts later today.
Don’t need a Miracle cause we scored our tickets long ago.
Certain I won’t be able to stand still when the notes start flying.
