This duo of songs is from the final Grateful Dead performance at Madison Square Garden. After 15 years and countless great nights, the Dead opened their second set with these two beauties.

    I won once

    I got the daily once a few years ago. I typically get 30/30 but sometimes 29/30 (the tracks not from concerts can throw me). They never emailed me. After a few months I went back and forth with them via email (they aren't very organized). They were out of calendars so they eventually mailed me 2 cds, Warfield and Ready or Not. I thought that was nice.

    A couple of years ago I won the grand prize, a Listen to the River box set.

    Of course, I already had all of these, but they make great gifts.

another easy one to hunt
a few more choices than yesterday but still not a long adventure.
a visit to grateful stats
a double check on deadbase
a stop at relisten to sync to be sure
and presto
every song right now has my mind trying to link it to our country.
i know all be mellow till inauguration but am still wondering after.
did a bunch of prep to follow the time old adage of have 6 months of needs just in case.
as a retired fire medic i was always taught plan for the worst then hope for the best. a lot of friends laugh at me but gotta follow my heart.
jerry always said have fun as the ultimate goal so am trying to enjoy my extra work and the few new gadgets i got.
i wish all of you nothing but peace love and happiness during the times ahead and if nothing wacko happens laugh and enjoy.
i lived a good long while in florida and used to prep for storms only to have 3 leaves on ground after.
so… 3 leaves to all
thanks dave
enjoy our great month.
realized i been in this hunt for 13 out of the 15 years. much better at it. used to be 3-30.
now i am getting 20 correct, a few wrong, and a couple spaced out trips down a totally wrong rabbit hole.
next monday i turn 63, thanks to yall i feel 36.
i appreciate all deadheads big and small .
made it to sphere this year for a wild weekend
miss ya jerry and phil
peace

Sphere shows were off the chain last summer, fingers crossed for a Dead 60 residency back in lost wages.

Thank jah for 30 days of dead! And a big thanks to Dave Lemieux and Co. every year! There are exactly 4 possibilities today. Got the 3rd try to sync up pretty nicely to today's selection. So Many Roads is my favorite latter day dead tune. Have a grateful day, fellow heads!

Narrowed it down quickly, and knew it could not be one of the options. Found it during lunch.
Thanks Dave!

Yes, as some of you have also said, So Many Roads is such a beautiful song, and recalls a declining Jerry for me. Lovely to hear though.

The whole band sounds really in sync and full of energy on these wonderful two songs. Love how the boys really kick in full and hearty with the backup vocals. Some really good stuff. Thanks 30DOD, my soul's been eased!

If I had my way, there’d be 365 Days of Dead.
So Many Roads, Jerry sure had soul.
Not my favorite era of the band, but still a great set of tunes.

The only time GOGD played Felt Forum was a 4-day run December, 1971, and Dave's Pick 22 released 12/7/1971. No way were they playing that small venue in 1994. Somebody forgot to put out the pipe before inputting that answer. Even my DeadBase 9 shows only one run at the Felt.

October 19, ‘94 at the Garden was my last Jerry show. High energy from beginning to end, though the Birdsong wavered a little. He was looking haggard but seemed happy. The So Many Roads is soul stirring. Even though I have a boffo Charlie Miller master, I’ve always hoped this show would get an official Dave’s release, that way my first (4/26/83) and last gigs would be part of the release catalog. But I’m happy the Feel Like a Stranger>Bertha and Samson.>So Many Roads have found their way into the 30 Days downloads. ‘Cause I was there, man…
