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!
I am Serious, and Don't Call me Francis
Silver beads! This is a great game - I am super grateful to discover the 30 Days treasure hunt this year. Ope! I could probably do this 365-366 days / year? Alas, there’s nothing you can hold for very long… Much appreciation for the fun David L.!!!
This is the best part of November! Love the picks so far. I was listening to this exact show yesterday afternoon!!!
I agree! lol
Wouldn't have expected it from this era. But my ears knew it had to be from this era. Sounds like this Let It Grow got dosed with a heaping helping of Miracle Grow. It really cooks! It appears today's pick is one of those Tomaytoe-Tomahtoe situations.
