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 once again, I get dinged for choosing the wrong spelling and going with the Americanized version of the word rather than the King’s English. Knew it would be a problem as it’s been for other choices. Got lucky in finding today’s pick; found it from the Bobby mumble.
based on band that is playing and who they are i cannot find it during that time span.
two different band members overlap coming and going but the choices in between don’t come anywhere close to this amazing truly beautiful piece of music.
THEIR ARE NO HINTS IN THAT STATEMENT AT ALL
Guess i will take break and start again with a different approach.
Am actually reading setlists show by show to see if anything even close.
Extremely frustrating after all these years this one should not be so difficult.
( thanks for letting me blow off some steam)
maybe fellow old timer can send private message to help. yes i know all about the word jam and its connotations so i purposely started furthur down.
Once again it is sunday and i am retired and it is too cold to go out so plenty of time if i have to listen to them all.
GOT IT, FINALLY. DIFFERENT TAPERS SCREWED ME UP BUT CUES FINALLY APPEARED.
The sound falls out in CRAS at the following time points (and more), at least for me: 1 min 56 s, 2 min 54 s, 3 min 33 s, 3 min 44 s, a.o.
Tremendous stuff today - what a grate start to a Sunday. Definitely been some beauties in this 30 days too.
@Vorpal43 Someone did a nice job with that WR edit on the Archive eh! The little things you find along the way are the real treasure in the hunt when searching for the sound.
Where you been bro? Didn’t we just talk about this yesterday? C’mon!
TMI!
