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!
Wow this might be "THE" Version
Its a labor of love and fun, but it does not hurt to get a lil something something as a cherry on top.
Wow!! I never win anything, but I woke up this morning to find I had won a calendar! Many thanks to Dave and the lovely dead fam on here - it's truly the high point of my year to take these deep dives. This was a sweet thing to see at a time in my life when I really need a lift.
As ole @Wackaloon suggested, send me a message with your email here and I can send you the link to the tracker since links aren't allowed here.
No searching... Listened to the show. Very nice way to start or finish a day.
