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!
somebody even divulged that there were two drummers! Please, not in the comments! Lol.
True it's more streamlined to be logged in, but you don't actually need to be logged in to enter a guess. Logging in means you have a dead dot net account, and not everyone has one. It's set up so anyone can enter by just entering their name & contact info along with their guess in the drop down.
After missing a few this month, more than most years, I got this on my first try! Without reading the comments first. I've noticed this year more than others, more folks put TOO MUCH INFORMATION in their comments. Bummer. I do remember once in a while, someone would give a sufficently cryptic hint which just made things more fun. Anyhow, this jam is amazing!
Go Phil!
no errers today.
And BTW that Jam is great
Also... you need to be logged in when guessing. You get much more streamlined answering options that way. "City, State, Venue" are all on one drop down that way. And you are not prompted to enter your first and last name. Just noticed this now. I must have restarted my machine and got logged out over the past 24 hours. I looked at the answering options and was scratching my head... hmmm... Why do they have so many entry fields today to try to guess the answer??? Oh yeah... looked at the upper right corner and bingo, no avatar pic. Aha... I am logged out. I logged in, refreshed and the entry form at bottom was back to good ol streamlined version.
