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 emotion was so strong with So Many Roads that tears were just pouring down my face. Thank You Jerry, miss you. As always many Thanks to David Lemieux and company, my favorite time of the year. Peace
Boom, looks like 7 for 7 now. Two hours of "grate" downloads already, folks. Shine your shoes, light your fuse.
Sphere shows were off the chain last summer, fingers crossed for a Dead 60 residency back in lost wages.
Thank jah for 30 days of dead! And a big thanks to Dave Lemieux and Co. every year! There are exactly 4 possibilities today. Got the 3rd try to sync up pretty nicely to today's selection. So Many Roads is my favorite latter day dead tune. Have a grateful day, fellow heads!
Thumbs up, Like, Heart, Grateful.
