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!
Blimey. We're not even half way through the month and already that's 4 hours and 45 minutes of listening delights. Thanks Dave and Team GD!
Yes, when I click on it, the calendar pops up. Can't do a manual entry.
DV - my experience is that it presents as a mm/dd/yyyy entry field - click on it and you simply enter the date. Never have encountered the date scroll I think?
Hey, I agree. Haven't meet a Birdsong I didn't like.
Might be a dumb question, but here it is. Is there a way to enter the date in the contest without having to scroll back from 2024? It is brutal.
I fall in love with Bird Song more every time I hear it, no matter the era, no matter the venue. Great job this year so far, keep it up!
