30 Days of Dead

30-days-of-dead-2024

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!

Today's Song
Hint:
A song that took a 17 year hiatus from the live set, returning for the final six years

    And the name is on the earth that takes it in!

    Thank you Dave & Co.!

    Love this tune, you can count on Jerr going full shred mode. Way more powerful coming out of the whole suite.

    Yesterday…nailed it knew it was 73 but went into 72 first, got lost on so many sweet jams while I searched!

    Anyone catch the count in?, snuck in the last seconds of the track? Knew it was going into Me & My Uncle

    BUNDUBUSH that transition is the best, I recall it has a name but can’t remember…ahhhh

Yesterday's answer...
Chicago, IL, Uptown Theatre
These three songs were often joined in this order to end second sets from 1973 to 1995, with all three being a big part of the Dead's live repertoire since 1971 or earlier
