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!

Pittsburg is in Kansas, though the PA city was spelled that way before 1910. Have to fix these things (a Felt Forum show in 94. Really?). Got lucky today and found it right away. Jerry’s voice kind of gave away the era and then Bobby’s guitar effects throughout Truckin made it easy to distinguish.
their is nobody i know that would not love this jam, this run, or these songs
that transition from Space to Truckin' is exciting! the crashing noise near the end of Space is something I've never heard before...Healy? anyway, can I just say I've always loved the way Jerry sings, "I love.." in Black Peter. three excellent tracks today!
What a killer.... AH>>>>>>>NOOO> NO >NO> NO!
From start to finish it's absolutely a beautiful night here.
Sure can't remember the last time I was in Pittsburg.
