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
Ramble On Rose, Let It Grow
Hint:
A couple of songs from two consecutive early 1970s albums, with both songs being a big part of the repertoire from their debuts onward

Yesterday's answer...
Indianapolis, IN, State Fair Coliseum
China Cat Sunflower and I Know You Rider were joined together in September 1969, and from their first time together it sounded like a natural fit. As the years went on, the Dead developed an intricate, composed jam to join the two, as heard here
Yesterday's Winner...
Howard
Tuxedo
