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!
What a day to be alive! Great selection - celebrate with some bubbly perhaps?
@jeff4682 - I agree wholeheartedly with your final approach.
Once a set list is established on one of the sites, be it DEADBASE or the SETLIST PROGRAM or whatever, no one ever makes the effort to correct mistakes. The issue today is that one song is misidentified in all these lists, but the truth is out there- so these lists need to be fixed. The usual search will not help today.
MY HINT… I found today’s show by doing the most basic Internet search that one can do. So don’t think too hard and just get ‘er done….
Probably one of the most crystal-clear shows I've listened to in some time. Love the audience and the period that shows like this had been performed. I think one of the best touring years ever as others might look towards its competitor year. If you know, you know... Yeah, you know! Playing every day and listening to the complete show once found and that 1st set is very powerful, hold up the whole show is very powerful!
I find that not all sites have all the info, or correct info. It almost feels like Dave and Crew are pointing this out to us. I've learned to trust, but verify.
Thank you Dave and Crew!
