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!
"Hint," nothing. Those songs were performed in that order by GD exactly once.
another easy one to hunt
a few more choices than yesterday but still not a long adventure.
a visit to grateful stats
a double check on deadbase
a stop at relisten to sync to be sure
and presto
every song right now has my mind trying to link it to our country.
i know all be mellow till inauguration but am still wondering after.
did a bunch of prep to follow the time old adage of have 6 months of needs just in case.
as a retired fire medic i was always taught plan for the worst then hope for the best. a lot of friends laugh at me but gotta follow my heart.
jerry always said have fun as the ultimate goal so am trying to enjoy my extra work and the few new gadgets i got.
i wish all of you nothing but peace love and happiness during the times ahead and if nothing wacko happens laugh and enjoy.
i lived a good long while in florida and used to prep for storms only to have 3 leaves on ground after.
so… 3 leaves to all
thanks dave
enjoy our great month.
realized i been in this hunt for 13 out of the 15 years. much better at it. used to be 3-30.
now i am getting 20 correct, a few wrong, and a couple spaced out trips down a totally wrong rabbit hole.

i appreciate all deadheads big and small .
made it to sphere this year for a wild weekend
miss ya jerry and phil
peace
Six for six, baby! Now to go for seven...
"If all you've got to live for is what you've left behind
Get yourself a powder charge and seal that silver mine"
One of my all time favorite lyrics (today)
& lyrics i try to live by
Having a good time!
congrats.
