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!
Had a fair idea on where to start and the first show I clicked on was the one!! Not that it was going to be hard but that was sort of funny. Have to run off to work and then travel but will settle into this show next day or two when I can.
After I concluded my search today, I did some more research on this Venue just to finally see pictures of it. The stories go on and on about the life in and around this venue. I would have loved to have been around back in the day. Check it out if you have time.
Hats off to Dave L, thanks for another astounding part of this setlist.
Perfect example of a 30 DoD selection that leads to a show that really needs to be freed from the vault. It would make a great stand-alone or a part of a box set. Please?
quite possibly thee best setlist in GD history :•0
& dat opener tho...
(((edit)))
~~~this sounds amazing!!! ~~~
I got it, but I have to admit I was way off on this one to start. I was not hearing it right at all. But thank Allah for little flubs to let you know when you get it.
