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!
this is from the show before my 1st of the 55 gd shows i caught...
setlist deliciousness...
Always said this would turn into a “vicious, psycho-Jerry rock and roll jam”, who could put or better! Thanks for it all.
Thanks for the great fun in November! I so look forward to 30 days of dead!!
A suggestion for Dave & the crew - set up the archive of 30 days of dead so that one can go back through previous years & search/find tunes. Then one can enter their "guess" and get a "right/wrong" response.
I've been on the 30 days of dead bus for the past 5 years, but I understand its been going on for 15 years.
I'd love to hit some of the years prior during the off-season to sharpen my skills.
Either way, thank you for a real good time!
anothre fun search. didn't take too long. one person's jam is another's jelly. and that sweet sweet jelly's so good. only 37 minutes? what a rip.
somebody even divulged that there were two drummers! Please, not in the comments! Lol.
