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!

Now why would you do that? I take that back and THANK YOU!

This was and might be one of the hardest to ever search for. After listening to countless Casey's, I came across some clear relics. Take a full listen to a very short version of Casey Jones from 1973-10-23 Bloomington, MN. This is totally outRAGEOUS and makes me wonder how many times this took place. You gotta love the words from the band!
and for those who think I gave a clue in the subject. It's a day late and just wanted to put my thought of yesterday's "Casey".
Been loving the band and music since '82... Love this month, Thanks Dave...When I have time or get lucky I try and find the correct show, (found 3 so far this year)... But this year for me that I haven't done in past years is listening to the full correct show the next day,. Thanks everyone and keep Dancin'
Never found it yesterday, and taking some comfort that I’m not alone. Set out to find it based on having the actual answer, and realized I’d been staring at that show most of the day in archive. Check out YouTube for the whole show.
CORRECTION: The YouTube version is labeled incorrectly. The show on YouTube is actually from 2-27-70, but has the following date in the cover art. Still looking for the correct recording for 11-8 posting.
