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!
Once again giving thanks for this amazing tradition. So much great music shared so freely. Thank you to the whole team that puts this together every year. Truly Grateful.
I stumbled around on this for a bit researching clues instead of the music but there she was waiting for me when I was ready to find her.
Hope you all have a wonderful day of family, friends, fun and some food too.
Be Well
every day a blind squirrel finds a nut. this day it's you!
Hardly had to think about this one.
After 15 years, there's two highlights to the 30 DoD for me. One is getting a pointer to some shows I haven't listened to, or haven't listened to in a long time. The other is reading the short stories from folks that were actually at the show.
Have a grate day everyone!
that's all I was saying. still grateful either way though, DL! Happy Thanksgiving everyone :)
