What a beautiful transition into this 30 Days of Dead and the gift of hanging with you all once again. Welcome back family!
Fare thee well, dear Phil. We were so blessed to have had you here for so long. Such a sweet happy heart! Feeling tender, while smiling at the same time.

Happy November
Hello everyone and look forward to this time each year. Thank You to all involved. Going to try to beat last year and get more then half guesses correctly.
Another Year!
Glad to be back for all the fun. Will have to wait until later to dive in. Happy that the Archive is back up or I'd be sunk!
It’s Friday, 30 DoD has started, and Dave’s 52 is scheduled for delivery. It’s like the planets have aligned or something!
C’mon mGraue
Please do not post your guess here. We all want to play.

If you access through the email by tapping on “Play 30 Days of Dead” you should see the entry form at the bottom of the page.
Won't you try just a little bit harder..
You may need to work just a little bit harder to find this one.
Very grateful to be Playin' the 30 Days of Dead again.
RIP Phil. You will be missed by many, but your music will be cherished for generations to come. By the Grace of God, keep your big wheel turning on the next road of existence...
Such a long, long time to be gone . . .
A lovely way to start the best thing about November! Looking forward to spending the next 30 days with all of you.
Can’t get Phil off my mind this windy autumn morn. Fare thee well, old friend.
All the Years Combine
Can't believe this is the 15th year we've been playing this game!
Just like last year, the first day's file is a lower bit rate than the standard 320kbps (mine was 64). A new 320 file was up by the afternoon last time, so I'll try DLing it again later today while crossing my crazy fingers. Regardless of bit rate, great choice to lead off the month!
Day 1 of the Dead
Thanks Dave for giving us an easy one to ease back into it. This is, I believe, my third year doing 30 Days and I thoroughly enjoyed the first 2 years so this is something to look forward to in what otherwise appear to be dark times.
And, I sincerely want to note: all love and respect to the mighty Phil Lesh!!!
Welcome back everyone!
Back in the swing, had been looking forward to it for a couple of weeks. Gonna keep the set list but online versions of this little duo are of much higher quality.
Switch and switcheroo...
They liked to have these 2 segments pop up post space but not always in this order. Found a ton of the reverse out there. The first 30 seconds have these great post drums moments from Jerry that I love. I had many 80s tapes where he played similar runs to the first 30 seconds or so here. Just getting it warmed up... like we all are here today! Welcome!
Hint: A couple of songs from…
Hint: A couple of songs from Bob's and Jerry's respective 1972 solo albums, never recorded in the studio by the Grateful Dead
I don't understand this hint. What about the "couple of songs"?
Grateful for the Good Stuff As Always
Thanks to all the team that makes this possible every year.
As a UK based Deadhead I cannot enter the comp, but that doesn't detract from enjoying the daily challenge of identifiying date and place.
Now where did I leave my copy of Deadbase........
Didn't we just do this?
Man, every year really is getting shorter... great to be back.
RIP Phil Lesh - legend - you brought me much joy.
Welcome Back!
Welcome Back, everyone! Looking forward to another fun year. Sad about Phil of course. A box of rain will ease the pain, and love will see you through.
Hey rbmunkin
The "couple of songs" you are asking about are Playing in the Band and The Wheel.
Edit: And the hints aren't always actual "hints," like this one.
ease me into November
can't find where to vote. tried entering from the email and just the web site, but still don't see it...
comments section...
Hi. You need to be on the main song entry section and click the Enter the Contest link way at the bottom. Instead of the email invite link, try the simple url that is just double u double u double u dot dead dot net slash 30daysofdead
(Sorry we cannot post links or urls into comments .... gee dee dot net does not allow that which is frustrating but necessary to combat spammers and hackers etc. )
If the url at the top of the screen you are on shows the word "comment" once or more then you are in the comments section of that day's entry and you can't enter a guess from there.
Day 1 download is a 128 kbs mp3 file. Can we get 320 kbps?
In all the previous years of the 30 Days in November the downloaded files are 320 kbps mp3 files. The first download for 2024 is 128 kbps. Can we get 320 kbps files? Thanks!
Am I missing something?
The only time that this combo happened, according to Deadbase was in 1991, at a show I attended.
Cleary that is wrong because Brent is on this and Garcia is playing “Freedom Jazz Dance” during Space, which was something he quoted quite a bit during the early 80s. So, why am I not able to find this??
I think day one is 6.11.91
Charlotte?
I think that is Vince on the Keys.
C’mon People!
Please do not post your guess and let everyone play the game.
30 Days of Dead
I think it's 3/2/1981. Brent and a slow Wheel makes me think it's early 80's.
jdaunt, vincenz7 and others
Please do not - I repeat - please do not - post your guess, be it right or wrong, in the comment thread. There is an actual entry form for you to submit your answer and win valuable prizes. Please use it and let folks have the fun of figuring out what show is being served up.
Where is this magical entry…
Where is this magical entry form? It’s nowhere to be found!
Hello and welcome back to all the 'usual suspects' for this wonderful month of music and friendly competition! Looking foward to the banter with others on the comments and this month this year should prove to be very interesting in so many ways.
Welcome all newcomers! But please don’t post your guess in the Comments section! First of all, that will not enter you in the contest. And 2nd, it’s just not the way the game's played.
The fun of this wild treasure hunt is to sleuth out your best guess. Sometimes Commenters give some pretty fun & clever & veiled hints as to what the answer might be. That’s part of the fun! But we never post our guesses here in the Comments.
Also, putting your answer in Comments doesn't enter you into the contest. The ONLY way you can enter your guess is to find the drop down menu for "Show," and the drop down menu for "Show Date." AND be sure to click on 'Submit My Entry' after you make your choices. It can be a bit glitchy to find the spot to enter, but once on the the main 30 DoD page—the one with the artwork on top—it should show the song title for that day. You may need to scroll down below the Comments to find the entry option. I can’t say for sure cuz I already entered today and once you make your entry, that info disappears and it says “THANKS FOR ENTERING TODAY!”
Just poke around & you’ll find it!! Have fun!
Thank you! Finally found how to enter, that was very helpful!
