Days Of Dead

Casey Jones
Hint:
Debuting in 1969 and recorded in 1970, this song was in and out of the lineup over the next 20+ years, with its final live performance being in 1993

    whew!!!

    Got it. My clue is you have to go to the guitar solo. Unique to it's time period. That helps narrow it down....

    We'd be better off Dead

    Based on the available information, I have narrowed the possible list down to about seven shows. I have a theory about which one it is and if I can't find out anything more I'm going to take a stab in the dark and see what happens.

    Came to the comments for a clue

    Cause I don't have one. Been searching among the potential candidates, but I got nothing.

Not in 94, right? Re the organization of the 30 days, my impression was that while Dave Lemieux was behind it, maybe he’s got more going on and delegates the actual function of the event. He seems too detail oriented to allow it to be shoddily run, but also probably pretty busy with his others projects

In 94 the Boys were filling stadiums so were they really playing a small venue of 5000? MSG itself holds 20K for a concert which seems more reasonable for the time period.

Who calls it the FELT FORUM? Maybe for Ali/Frazier in 1970, but… I was expecting a possible issue with the Kaiser show a a few days back, but I’m totally thrown for a loop by this one

Was the correct name for the Theatre at MSG for quite a while. But this was MSG proper in 94 right?

Yes,that was the name of the theater downstairs, (which had many names after)
This one was MSG, let's hope it's a typo and correct answers weren't eliminated. To me, what they have for the answer there is not correct.

The MSG run ticket stubs did not have any reference to the Felt Forum. Lets assume all winners were thrown into the hat. I often wonder how the actual selection works I've been at it for a while. Also it would be nice if they posted who won the box sets as it would be nice to share their victory with a little congratulations,

I have to go to work right now, but when I get home, I assume I am going to spend a LONG time tracking this Casey Jones down. The era is obvious, but gosh, they played it a lot!

The Theater at MSG was known as the Felt Forum until 1989, holds between 2000 to 5000 people, and is located below the MSG main arena. I was at these shows in ‘94. They were held in the MSG main arena, same arena where the Knicks play, not in the Felt Forum.

Do I focus on yesterdays "Felt" vs "MSG" proper or start the shifting through of the many Casey Jones' of the era. I might have heard the noodlings of the next song which would help in the process but I can't really be sure of it.
Yesterday was the curve ball we should expect when it seems all to easy but I did find that the LAST show in the FELT was in 89, then the name was changed to The Paramount Theater so the Felt seems to be the wrong answer whether the Boys played the Main MSG or the smaller venue.
Onward and upward.

I am having to tell myself they selected out of all 10/19/94 MSG answers, because as others have pointed out - this show was not played at the Felt Forum. It seems odd that dozens of us idiots would have to correct the Holy Lemiuex on that.

It seems they would not go out of there way to select a winner with the wrong answer so yeah they hopefully selected from the pot of 10-19-94 answers..... But all answers are two part (seemingly for a reason) so it still seems like a glitch that a venue that was no longer in existence be the selected winner. On to Casey

I think the winner had the correct answer and that a mistake was made in cut and pasting the venue, for the web results. No big deal a misprint per se

Looks like our first one of the year. There's usually one or two every 30 DoD.
For Day 1 this year, that venue is known by various names in CLE.

I've been in despair for the last few days, but while listening to 11/08/70 this morning, I noticed that the cloud had lifted. All thanks to "Ripple."

Give it a try if you're feeling low.

@Shindigger amen brother.
my single most favorite song of all music.

i have always pictured the coda of the album version as everyone in the whole wide world sitting around a campfire, singing together.

also, thanks Dawg !

Thanks again for the daily dose but why were the first four days WAV files and the subsequent ones mp3?

Geez. There are so many from this era, and many that are missing from the internet. And so many bad audience recordings. The place of the most promising clue gets drowned out by the audience, even on some of the board recordings. Has anyone found it?

Not giving up yet but I need a break. Brain fuzzy from dozens of tries over 2+ hours. I think I'm in the right year or so but I've resorted to comparing the acapella ending. As some have surmised, I think this may be a trickster one. Good luck to all.
Cheers

Has anyone found it? i've been going for for 2.5 hours and i'm an old hand at 30 days but i'm getting tired! Trying not to break protocol here, but to me there are three obvious years. the first 2/3 of the first year they had a few different chords to open. the middle year is plagued with missing files on relisten and archive. the last year they sound too polished. If you found it, please give us a clever, hopefully not too obvious, but helpful, clue. Can anyone thread that needle?

Judge dread - sometimes we just have to look within ourselves for the uncirculated items. Where would they be? It is possible!!!

Great clue! After sniffing around for an hour, I found it in 30 seconds. I looked at this show but was missing something...

The comments below in the answer to yesterday even say.... "This duo of songs is from the final Grateful Dead performance at Madison Square Garden."
Felt Forum is fake news....

Gonna have to throw in the towel on this one, for the first time ever. I have listened to more than 100 versions and can’t seem to find it. I feel like I’ve got it nailed down to a pretty specific window of time, but nothing seems to match.

I'm right there with you. I have been searching all day and am still searching. I will wait to throw in the towel, but this might also be my first. Love Nov 30 Days of Dead!

I think I'm right. The key was listening to how Jerry rolled into the first solo. After a short period of time it had that halting, chunky, choppy pause before he came in.
