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!
The Felt's venue name was changed in 1989 so.....
Was the correct name for the Theatre at MSG for quite a while. But this was MSG proper in 94 right?
Who calls it the FELT FORUM? Maybe for Ali/Frazier in 1970, but… I was expecting a possible issue with the Kaiser show a a few days back, but I’m totally thrown for a loop by this one
I have to go to work right now, but when I get home, I assume I am going to spend a LONG time tracking this Casey Jones down. The era is obvious, but gosh, they played it a lot!
Not in 94, right? Re the organization of the 30 days, my impression was that while Dave Lemieux was behind it, maybe he’s got more going on and delegates the actual function of the event. He seems too detail oriented to allow it to be shoddily run, but also probably pretty busy with his others projects
