30 Days of Dead

30-days-of-dead-2024

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!

Today's Song
Space>Playing Reprise>The Wheel
Hint:
A couple of songs from Bob's and Jerry's respective 1972 solo albums, never recorded in the studio by the Grateful Dead

    Players

    Thanks Jack o Roses - I thought it was my browser and/or software but clearly the player glitch is on the Archive (a result of the hack?).
    Anyway, so good to have this wonderfully beautiful start to sooth our souls in this time of discord.
    Sad that Phil has gone to the Great Wheel in the Sky, but looking forward to hearing a lot of his unique stylings over the next month; as Dia de los Muertos teaches us, no one is truly gone as long as we still remember them. Live on Phil!

    Try relisten dot net

    Try relisten dot net! And other sites out there. I think there is a way to still use Archive dot org by clicking the webamp player. That brings up a winamp like media player.

    Archive down, blind like a head leaving the Mt St helen show

    Well ... with Archive down, I'm flying blind like a head leaving the Mt St Helen show (and NO, that is NOT a hint!)
    I think I may have found it w/ some digging and some study of the time stamps.

    Here we go! I love November for this game alone.
