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
Jam>The Other One>Wharf Rat>Sugar Magnolia
Hint:
A classic set closing sequence from 1973 onward through 1995

    No worries

    I got that one! Woo-hoo. Only got two so far, well three counting today. Between you and others, and other hints, I got a good feel for it and once I got my archive selections sorted I was good to go. That's the fun of this contest.
    Thanks and cheers

    Sorry - First show - I don't have anywhere close to all of the shows I attended listed in my profile. That's probably only about 1/5 or maybe less. They all blend into one. I have a big box full of old ticket stubs and a bunch in old photo albums with old stubs that I sometimes think about pulling out and adding here but haven't had the time. As I wrote yesterday, I didn't think to highlight that point.
