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!

Nice version. I've never heard this show before. Good fun primal Dead.
What a day for the DRKSTARR
I was able to narrow it down to a few fairly quickly, but it was harder than I thought it would be after that. It sure was fun listening though.
For all the familiars (cause it's been a year and we forget:) and the newbies, just a reminder that I maintain a Google Sheets tracker for the last 15 years of 30Days. It's another good tool to help narrow the searches (sometimes) and let's one organize the history by song, year in 30days, and date performed. Just send me a message and I'll pass along the link.
