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!
Thank jah for 30 days of dead! And a big thanks to Dave Lemieux and Co. every year! There are exactly 4 possibilities today. Got the 3rd try to sync up pretty nicely to today's selection. So Many Roads is my favorite latter day dead tune. Have a grateful day, fellow heads!
Thumbs up, Like, Heart, Grateful.
"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
