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!
Time length on the Dead.net "BTW" from Nov.3 of 30Dead Days seems normal for that song.
What was downloaded to my iTunes was some over twelve minute behemoth of a "BTW" so what gives!? An error?
Great news! Archive's 'player' is up & running!
And might I add a kind plug for them. Internet Archive has sure been hit hard lately with the cyber hack, and groups trying to shut them down. For all the joy we've rec'd, and how much they contribute to our playing this game and more, I invite you to join me in kicking some $ their way. I know they'd be ever grateful.

Thank you for always making 30 Days Of Dead so much fun. RIP dearest Phil Lesh.... may the four winds blow you safely home. We are blessed to have so many sweet memories.
I wouldn't call 10 seconds of short chopping as noodling...I've listened repeatedly with no recognizable tune in there...so yeah...must be luck, especially when there's almost 3 minutes of noodling after the song that still doesn't give me any clues to the next song... but I submitted my choice and it syncs perfectly.
I take em cause they are free. I hate digital music, I only buy analog vinyl
(no plangnet crap files on vinyl) I will not pay money for that.
MP3 are the worst.
PLEASE , stop putting plangent files on vinyl. save it for CD's.
