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.

I homed in on 10/26/72 at first, but found the pace too slow. Look about 7 months later.
Ok I'm confused, my download was 28.57 with 58.8 MB. Now it sounds like it cut's out at the end. We have people posting the file size sound be 60 MB at 30 minutes.

Really slow site both to get into and to download tracks - takes a lot of time and patience. But, heh, half the Deadheads in the world will be wanting to get in on this action........!!
Don't go by the time to determine if you got it all, use the file size. The first one I downloaded said it was 28:57 minutes long and the size was 31MB. When I listened to it it was cut off at the end. Me 2nd attempt got me a 69.7MB file still coming in at 28.57 and it played all the way through with no problem.
And thank you dead.net for the great tunes!
Hey I downloaded the Dark Star the other day but I've only got the first 8-9 minutes...I know this happened to several people...would somebody be good enough to send me the whole thing? Thx

the song itself was 28:48, there were a few seconds of dead air afterwards to throw your timings off ;)
biggest clue for me was Bobby's vocal flub early in the song, not that you can do a Google search for "Bobby's vocal flub during Playin from sometime in 1973" or nothin...
Yesterday, it was Jerry's vocal flub during Althea - I got the right answer, just wasn't fast enough...
It would be nice to know *when* the new song gets posted...Grateful Dead on Facebook posts soon after, but a rough idea of the daily time (eg: around noon EST) would be helpful, but also the traffic on the site might become overwhelming, and nobody would be able to access it...maybe not such a good idea...
thanks for the crispy unknowns - I love this game!
