30 Days of Dead

30-days-of-dead-2024

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!

Today's Song
Attics Of My Life
Hint:
A song that took a 17 year hiatus from the live set, returning for the final six years

    It left a smoking crater of my mind

    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,

    Healy

    Agreed the Healy sound is epic in itself. Been doing a lil reading on the subject, and how he liked to F with Bobby. Great years for us, maybe not so much for Bobby.

Yesterday's answer...
Chicago, IL, Uptown Theatre
These three songs were often joined in this order to end second sets from 1973 to 1995, with all three being a big part of the Dead's live repertoire since 1971 or earlier
