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!

Trying for an hour and can't find this Candyman. I want to win Friend of the Devils so BAD! :-0)). I listened to 271 versions of Jerry's 1st 6 notes and not one of them had Bob's C power chords chunking away (while somebody was looking at his amp... ;-) ) of the provided example. Come again?
Enjoy the month!!!
This has happened in other years. They post low res files at first then finally realize the mistake and replace the them with higher res ones. You'd think that would be checked first by now.
Very little about this is working properly for me....
Nice way to start the day with some Dead giveaways to sort it out.
