Grateful Dead

Still no personal email from Dave congratulating me and inviting me to the vault to pick #57 but I will keep refreshing my browser

duplicates, repeats, these multi-plex one and dones, whatever. day eleven and stick a fork in me I'm done. and we haven't even carved the turkey yet. Dave's laying out quite the feast this year..

Barely had time to blink for this one. That said, time to enjoy this ride.
'night all!

Wow - what a brilliant selection. Thanks Dave. Finally cracked this one.

I have already said this once this year but WOW, for the time period this is a clean recording. Musically the band was on their way, great jams, vocals harmonies and who doesn't like Phil coming through strong all the way through . Smile Smile Smile indeed.

I gloss over any shows on Relisten that don't have a SBD version. 5/12/81 was a valid runner up even though I knew it wasn't correct.

Congrats to Pete in Milford, NH!!!

51 minutes of free music. Don't jump the gun on this one; just gotta poke around.

Sometimes it takes all day and you never find what you're looking for. Other times, like today, it takes about 30 seconds!

Based on my own proprietary algorithm -- which is in turn based on herbibot data -- the show that today's sequence comes from was the 60th most popular show of it's year.

Yesterday's song came from a show that was the 72nd most popular show in 1981.

That's a great Truckin'. It was a great year.

That is a classic intro to The Other One! Fantastic!

Just wondering if there is an archive of past years' music. I have every year from 2014 with the exception of 2016.

A little easier today. A limited crop to choose from and it clearly matched up with one of them.

Dave is really spoilin' us this year. What a fantastic sequence, especially "The Other One" and "Stella." The groove that Bill gets into during "The Other One" is fantastic, and that "Stella" is just beautiful. Fantastic pick, here.

It looked awfully suspicious from the start. Dug into the 30DoD archive and matched it up in less than 5 minutes with a previous year's selection.

The repeats are strong this year. I don't know if we have the collective force to fight off these slothful selections (3.5 repeats in 11 days!).

Nowadays my first move is to check the day's jam with previous 30DoD years instead of heading right to the archive. Doesn't have to be that way, but here we are.

Forever grateful nonetheless. Peace

I am hearing a tease in "He's Gone," but none of the websites I visit for my Dead researching are very thorough with their tease listing. (Unlike setlist archives for Phish, Umphrey's McGee, etc.) Does anyone have any good Dead setlist sites that *do* list teases?

Austin TX ???

Wasn't much of a search, but go to enter and I see someone has posted it! Please take your post down so all can enjoy the search. That'sthe best part of 30 Days!

I feel like there's at least one person every year that does this. Common sense is not so common. SMH.

I’ve never come across a comprehensive list of teases found in Grateful Desd songs. The more memorable ones take on a life of their own- FEELIN’ GROOVY JAM or CLOSE ENCOUNTERS SPACE or MIND LEFT BODY JAM (opinions vary greatly as to the origins of that one) or DEAR PRUDENCE JAM (two are in lists I’ve seen but I can’t hear DP in either of them). But unlike PHISH (what is a SAN HO ZAY?) or other bands the Dead never seemed as interested in being so freaking cutesy by quoting other tunes into their songs.
That being said, they would more often “tease” their own tunes. Listen to 2/27/94 for the mind-blowing COSMIC CHARLIE tease before the Wharf Rat, or the 11/1/90 STANDING ON THE MOON tease (actually Jerry changing his mind) before again settling into a killer Wharf Rat.
Damn I love rambling about the Grateful Dead…

Man, this is the sweetest Truckin'! Thank you Dave!

Man, that piano is so out of tune. Occasionally, Keith manages to find some notes that are in tune.

11/10 He's Gone was the first time in years I couldn't figure it out. Nice job selecting a track where the source isn't available on the archive, especially on a week night when I have much less time to hunt. I was also exhausted and suffering from food poisoning, weaving in and out of conciousness. Lost one round but the price wasn't anything.

in addition to a bass and drum/s solo performed by the band beyond beyond description. Nothing left to do but.......well, you know the rest.

As far as war whoops are concerned, nobody does it better than Bob who seems to be high in the mix on these performances, showing off his unique talents on rhythm guitar and vocals. Whoop, whoop!

Love, love, love

After the hanging curveball we had yesterday that sent many of us into a marathon search for He's Gone it was nice of Dave to lob us an easy, sweet pitch today. I searched high and low until well after midnight yesterday and finally submitted what might her the right answer. I've only missed one since 2022, but I have still not had the courage to look to see if I got it right. The bright side is that I now have the correct timings for EVERY single He's Gone every played for future offerings.

I had one of those flashes, I believe we’ve been here before in previous Days.
Lately, it occurs to me what a long awesome jam this is.
I am so Grateful the bus came by for me back in ‘84 and I got on.
Jerry sure could make those rusty strings shine.
Time to hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.
A huge thank you to those who served. HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

Some great fiery lead guitar playing. Love Bob and Phil on here as well. Sometimes Bob's part sounds like a Phil part and vice versa... great tones on the rhythm gtr and bass gtr.

Easy to grab the date/venue so it was off to enjoy the sounds right away.

Maybe there shouldn't be a comment section. It seems like there's gonna be someone that just doesn't know any better.

Killer set.

Killer set.

I believe after finding the show yesterday, I never made my entry, unbelievable. It was all still there this morning.

I thought today would be easy but I am not finding a match, Not the lead up, the end, or the drop near the end ,,,, hmmmmm
