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!
or at least a symptom of a confusing user interface.
Maybe it would help to have a clickable button to go to submission page.
Similar to the download MP3 button, and preferably placed next to it.
Especially considering that once you are already in the comments the submission form that is usually at the bottom of the main page goes away.
I had to go back to the home page and start over to submit mine this morning.
Please do not - I repeat - please do not - post your guess, be it right or wrong, in the comment thread. There is an actual entry form for you to submit your answer and win valuable prizes. Please use it and let folks have the fun of figuring out what show is being served up.
How do you submit to the contest? There is no Entry form anywhere that i can find.
I think it's 3/2/1981. Brent and a slow Wheel makes me think it's early 80's.
People noticed this a couple weeks ago. This should even things up a bit for those of us who don't generally use the archive to validate our guesses. Good luck!
Cheers
