30 Days Of Dead - November 25th

We're on a mission to make a miracle every day. As a token of our appreciation for making 2010 an epic year, we're giving away a high-quality 320Kbps download every day this November. That's 30 days of Dead! Intrigued? We're also going to put your knowledge to the test and give you the chance to win some great music from the Dead.
                                                     + More Info
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 70's show? Each day we'll post a free download 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? Step right up and try your hand.

Each day, the first person to guess the venue & date correctly will get a Road Trips of their choice. If you’re not first but you've answered correctly, you will also be automatically entered for a weekly prize of THE WARNER BROTHERS STUDIO ALBUMS VINYL BOX (EXCLUSIVE EDITION) or a FORMERLY THE WARLOCKS boxed set. Log in now and enter to win!

I guess it all comes back to Pig

And by that I mean the Pen Kind.....Easy Wind A and B makes me smile smile smile.

Beeen Drinking that Jack and Ballin' that....welll yes you will.

Lyrics By: Robert Hunter
Music By: Robert Hunter

I've been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer
Been chipping up rocks for the great highway
I'll live five years if I take my time
Balling that jack and drinking my wine

I been chipping them rocks from dawn till doom
While my rider hide my bottle in the other room (note 1)
Doctor say better stop balling that jack
If I live five years I'm gonna bust my back, yes I will (note 2)

Easy wind, cross the Bayou today (note 3)
'Cause there's a whole lotta women, Mama
Out in red on the streets today (note 4)
And the river keeps a talking
But you never heard a word it said

Gotta find a woman be good to me
Won't hide my liquor try, to serve me tea
'Cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true
And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will

(1) on the version on DP16, Pigpen sings "While my baby hide my bottle ..."

(2) on DP16, Pigpen sings "In another five years I'm gonna bust my back"

(3) on DP16, Pigpen starts with the chorus before before the first verse, and he sings "Easy wind, blowin' cross the Bayou today"

(4) variants that Pigpen sang include "Out dressed in red ...", "Out on the streets in red today" and "Out in red that way."

Heres' the Real Interpretation...

Pig....Brother...We love you...if you so happen to drink an amazing amount...I know you will....Please let us stop you, yes we will.

Friends these days, I would say are even more plenty then they were in the glory...I mean 1993 Summer tour and the hears the story...

I've known most of these people for all my life, cept the other sister that wasn't there for the '85.

Beeen listinin to Dead pretty much since I was born, I mean I've seen em when you woke up alive.

Pigpen, is the enigma, the elephant in the room, I mean we all tried to stop him in the "other room"

I love that brother, girl don't you know, I mean I gave him even my piece tye-dye willow.

If you don't just learn from a puking man, than I tried to spell it out from the FAMILY MAN.....

Loves is REAL don't you know and you never hide out unless you Pao Doce Doa!!!!

I've been drinking that Jack and Bailin that twine......don't you know that the Doctor is a friend of mine.

Excerpt From Critter's Life

Sorry it's so graphic...but I was told to post this....

By the way....From the real Mamma in my life....

"You need to bring these people together for a different reason Critter. 'yes mamma what is that' well, critter that is....

We've all come together at one point in society and brought love. What have you done? I mean, what have you done to bring our society together....you know unite?

Well I'lll tell ya brother, it's been this damn Furthur Tour...l mean you guys were sittin' dormant since then.

Then you awoke....I mean, they awoke the GIANT, I mean they awoke the dragon that is within these people, wether it was small or big, you really awoke the giant.....

I didn't awake this giant, Furthur did...yes they did she says, but do you realize that these people have beeen awating this for their whole lives?

No, you mean there, whole lives? All the way through, like the olden days (daze?) bacl in _blank

Yes I mean the olden days you stone cold hippie freak, I mean the reason I fell in love with you.

Oh, you mean that I could recite the day and year the Dead played Polo field to commerorate Bill Graham>?

No you idiot, I'm talking about the God Damn Good Ole' Grateful Dead.

Oh, Baby, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you knew what that meant to me?

Yes, you Douchebag, I knew that's why I fell in love with you.

OH, so you get why I freak out when the "Website gives me 'free' music and straight from the vault??"

Yes, I do understand, brother, I was fucking there...........

Oh shit, that is the greatest feeling in the world.

Happy Thanksgiving Folks

and to everyone else.....

you killed the goddamn duck!

Love is Real.

How did I do it? Well, I didn't know where to start because they played it for such a short time it could have been any of them. So I just started listening to the shows I was at that they played it. And, wah-la, Hampton 84.

Thank you dead.net!

Congrats on the win. I

Congrats on the win. I think it's fair gaime to continue entering for the weekly prize. Good luck getting your Road Trips. I won on the 10th and it's been a hassle getting a response from anyone other than marye, but she can only relay information apparently.
