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
One More Saturday Night
Hint:
The penultimate song of the night from the Dead's penultimate show at this classic venue, where they played more than four dozen times

    Yes, I did the same thing... then noticing two shows in a row with the same FLUB... You have to be careful on your selection today because they are almost similar.

    almost ablaze

    from one of the golden ages of Dead, such an inspired version of this classic combo. virtually flawless save for the vocal flub in Scarlet.
    worked backwards from the end of this particular era. not as many versions as I'd thought in that last year.

    Kingfish

    I wonder who is writing the hints and also writing the answers?

    I have four or five studio albums by Kingfish, so how can their first studio album be their ONLY studio effort?
