I'm happy I found my way thru the new site to our 30 DoD home for the next month. Great to be back and looking forward to all the fun and community, searches and surprises. One big surprise to start it off was how quickly this one was found!

NOTE to Dave & the powers that be....you may want to re-upload this one. The song title/info has TMI.

Hey Shindigger,

Lit up and flashing, Might as Well start playing The 30 Days of Dead.
Nothing else shakin’, so I figured no better way to bring in November.
Fairly easy softball David is tossing here on Game 7 day, but we all know it’s gonna get Stranger.
I Feel Like it’s going to be one good ride from start to end.
Thanks again to the Grateful Dead family for sharing this incredible music.
Happy 30 Days All!

I can't believe I woke up and forgot about 30 DoD! Hello to everyone that has returned. Always a great time of year. I haven't won since 2010, so maybe this'll be the year.

I'll also repost what others wrote, since we're on another page. Please don't post your answer in the comments. Use the entry blanks.

Although, they did give this freebie to everyone if you look hard enough.

My search have evolved. I've never taken a prize other than the prize that this entire process brings. Threw my hat in the ring today, I was thinking I was there but alas no not at this show, although I saw a lot during this period,

Two posted answers in the comments already and ha, ha one is wrong! There wasn't even a show that night, lol.

Edit: Dang, with that 50% shot I jumped the gun before doing the research. You'd think I'd have learned by now you cannot trust the nomenclature. Not an >. Neither one is an >.

I only ever looked at setlist.com during November, but it doesn't seem to be up any longer. Anyone know what's going on with it? Or is there another site that allows for searching by date range, isolating to particular sets, multiple songs, etc.? Those functions really helped. Not really needed for today's, but super useful on days when there are lots of possibilities.

Hey for the big many many bands setlist site you may be thinking of... try the url with dot fm at the end instead of dot com. It is working right now. But... I think that The Setlist Program site is more fun for this specific contest.

Hello! A few bumps but wow that right in your ear deep sound of this era. Bass, JG envelope filter effects, keys all filling out the headphones space nicely. Got it synced up in 2 players for that lovely phased out effect!

So glad they still do this thing! Enjoy.

Listening to the song before this 2-fer at the same show and there are some funny effects on the vocals right at the start, delay and such. And an audience patch nicely added.

First of all, its great to back for another 30 Days! Second, please don't be a chowder head and post your guesses here, you're probably wrong anyway. Third, and this for Dave, please don't put the date and venue in the metadata of the MP3 file. Kind of ruins the quest when the answer is in the title bar of my player. Granted, today was an easy one, but I prefer to not have the answer ahead of time. Been looking forward to this all year and can't wait for the next 29 days!

only played this combo together twice, so you have a 50/50 chance of getting the right one.

There's a bunch of resources to help. Deadlists always helps me narrow it down.

I've had a pretty shitty year. Thanks again Dave and everyone else for making it a little better!

I actually dread this, because I can't resist, I just can't, I need to see my name under the winner banner and then I can quit. I do good too, I get them all and I'm never picked, I should spend my time doing something else but here I am... and so are you :)

Is this normal? two or three dropouts in the middle of the song.

No, the dropouts aren't normal, but I've had to "return" digital orders to dead.net in the past because the files were corrupted and had dropouts like this. The Here Comes Sunshine boxed set was plagued with them, and they had to resend my files twice before I got a set without any glitches. I only order CDs from them now as a result.

Give me five we're still alive! It's swell to be back in the groove with all you fine folks. Today's tracks are particularly timely for those of us residing in the good ol' USA these days.

"Feel Like A Stranger" was one of the rare Grateful Dead songs that debuted after it was recorded in the studio; "Might As Well" was similar, although it was a Jerry Garcia solo song, from his Reflections album

    Might As Well

    I don't know which recording this is, but I do know that I was in the crew on Festival Express across Canada in 1970 and that's what this song is all about. Can't find a ride like no more and yes, I'd like to take that ride again too.
