Official Site of the Grateful Dead
If you've been part of the Dead.net community for the past two years, then you know we're on a mission to make a miracle every day in the month of November. This year is no different. As a token of our appreciation for making 2012 an epic year, we're giving away a high-quality 320Kbps MP3 download every day this month. That's 30 days of unreleased Grateful Dead tracks from the vault, selected by Dead archivist and producer David Lemieux! Intrigued? We're also going to put your knowledge to the test and give you the chance to win some sweet swag from the Dead. 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 on November 1st. Guess the venue and date correctly and you'll be automatically entered to win the prize of the day. Each day a winner will be selected at random, so take your time and make your best guess! Answer correctly, and you will also be automatically entered for our Grand Prize - a copy of the SOLD OUT Spring 1990 box set.
Today's Giveaway
Grateful Dead Scrapbook
You only thought you knew everything there is to know about the Dead. The Grateful Dead Scrapbook, helmed by veteran rock writer Ben-Fong Torres, takes you on a guided tour through the Grateful Dead’s entire musical career. The beautifully designed 64-page hardcover album includes never-before-published photos, removable reproductions and interactive features like backstage passes, fold-out psychedelic posters, the full program from the Dead’s unprecedented Egyptian concerts, a letter of “special” thanks from Hugh Hefner, an early bumper sticker, a hand-drawn record of every set list the band played for a year, and more. Presented in a limited-edition embossed slipcase, each Deluxe Edition scrapbook is individually numbered and includes an original concert ticket, CD and DVD. The CD offers never-before-heard interviews with Jerry Garcia conducted by David Gans, the legendary host of Grateful Dead Radio Hour. The 95-minute DVD contains the official music video for “Hell In A Bucket,” a short film about the band by Robert Nelson recorded in 1968, plus five live clips filmed between 1972 and 1989. The rare video spotlights several freewheeling jams, including a 1989 East Rutherford, N.J. performance that intertwines “Shakedown Street,” “Jack Straw” and “West L.A. Fadeaway.”
