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!
and sooooo good. Try playing the two versions of The Other One slightly out of sync for added trippiness. I love the mixing board hijinks. This achingly beautiful version of Stella Blue is the perfect way to wind down the experience. Makes me miss Jerry. Thanks for the Trip 30DOD!
Great stuff so far. I've been patient and found every one. Today was the most frustrating but I pulled it out. As for down loading, I just wait till the end of the month when they got everything sorted out and download them all at once. I hope we don't get any repeats....
... then it's the other one.
This one was easy for me today. I was at this run! Great stuff!!! Good memories!! My 25th DEAD show!!!
This version kept escaping through the lily fields.
But In the end there's just this one song that matches.
When all the cards are down, you may need to listen to a few shows to get this one.
And when you hear that right song Come crying like the wind
It seems like all this searching Was just a dream.
Good luck all!
Hope there is not any major drama tonight. We need to come together as one country,
