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!
saw 31 shows this year...
DL2 really digs it, as bits & pieces have shown up in the Tapers Section & JotW too...
to someday win. been playing since 2014 (at least that's how far back my files go lol) and have never been selected to be the daily winner. My batting average is well over .900 too :^)
The whole band sounds really in sync and full of energy on these wonderful two songs. Love how the boys really kick in full and hearty with the backup vocals. Some really good stuff. Thanks 30DOD, my soul's been eased!

First choice I made to check! Swing and a hit. Nice show, and I had to stop and listen to If The Shoe Fits also. :) Thanks Phil
