East Rutherford, NJ, Brendan Byrne Arena
"Bird Song" debuted with the first batch of new songs in February 1971, and later in the year, "Jack Straw" debuted. Aside from "Bird Song" being absent for a few years in the mid/late 1970s, these songs were a big part of the Dead's repertoire until 1995. Interestingly, neither appeared on a Grateful Dead studio album.

30 DOD
New rules this year.......no synching allowed, you must have attended the show you pick AND can remember the setlist without looking it up, and all disputes will be settled by rock/paper/scissor contest. LOL!!! Everyone, enjoy the ride!!
HAH!!
Nicely done, rasta5ziggy!
Welcome Back!
God, I love November!
And they're off!
Have been chomping at the bit for quite some time wanting this day to arrive! Looking forward to the banter with all the Usual Suspects in this fun annual contest. Hornsby, Ace, wilfred, kennyup, forensicdoc, and more!

30 Days of Joy
I look forward to this every year, now. A great jam from one of my favorite eras.
I love the Grateful Dead.
I look forward to this every year!! Let the fun begin.
So Excited!
I had forgotten about the 30 Days until I received the email this morning. And I enjoy offerings like this one. Lots of options, forcing you to whittle it down and listen a bit -- but not *countless* versions to wade through. Definitely solvable within five to ten minutes (for me).
30 Days of Dead
Enjoy everyone - starting off with a crispy show from 19xx/xx/xx
30 Days
Ah yes, the thing that derails me at work every day in November!
November to Remember
love to wake up every day this month and listen to something new and delicious. Thanks!
Dead Base to the rescue!
Yeah, the book (and the era!) made this one easy.
unique tour
Love the psychedelic sounds from this tour. Rather distinct.
Don't tell me this band ain't got no heart!
Don't tell me this band ain't got no heart! My favorite time of the year. Thank You to the band and David! Friendly reminder, hints and clues are fun to share but no giving away the date. Resources are plentiful to help find the easy answer. I use a combination of DeadBase, Deadlist.com, Archive and my good buddy Mark. Good luck to my brothers and sisters!
30 Days of Dead being back…
30 Days of Dead being back again makes my day!

He's gone
But we're back so let's enjoy the ride through these 30 days in 2021!

A First on the First
The spirits were certainly with me - Dia de los Muertos indeed - no idea how but for the first time ever I got this one on the first try, despite not having been there or ever hearing this show before. Spooky - but yeah!
What grate start to this best time of the year. Thanks Dave!
What I like
About this annual communal treasure hunt is when I discover gems among the shows that aren't necessarily the winning shows, like those with special guests or rare songs, or song debuts. I end up listening to whole shows I never would have discovered if it weren't for the 30 Days exercise. Never fear, however, I did get this one after only a little pokin' around!
Right as I hit enter I noticed the date was wrong
How do I change my answer?
Completely forgot about this…
Completely forgot about this one. Thanks for the reminder!
30 Days In The Hole
I'm a fool for 80's Dead.
And that is one smokin' Althea...
High energy stuff
Hey now all! So glad to be back again, jamming away this morning that's touched with grey, but definitely has a silver lining! Thanks David and DeadNet!
November Dead Fun
So much fun getting a dead download every day! Anyone see the Unofficial 31 Days?
Easy answer
Dough knees, Dough knees!
Tell me all that you know
Don't Cry Now, 30 Days of Dead is Back!
If you hear that same sweet song again, Keep on rolling my old buddy
Laugh in the sunshine, sing
There ain't a winner in this game
Without the right venue/date placed
Good luck all.
Happy November!!
Welcome back!
Always look forward to November & new downloads!
Now I feel better
Woke up this morning after a fabulous Halloween show at the Hollywood Bowl last night sad that the tour was over. This is just what I needed to bring me back up.
calender is not simple
or is it? do I have to go back sveral years or even decades month by month? or is there a way to change the year?
calender is not simple
try typing in the date and not using the drop down calendar. works much better for me
Been waiting for Nov 1 !
and the first selection is from a show I was at!! Thanks Dave.
i think i nailed it when…

Hippy Thirty Daze 'o Dead
It's like we never left, or more like the first day back at summer camp, only it's fall, and seeing familiar campers arriving by the minute, and the leaves are falling in the rain, the beginning of stick season; it's time to get a fire started, just don't get burned.
