Days Of Dead
The Grateful Dog7 months 2 weeks agoThank you DaveIn this season of Thanks, I wanted to express my gratefulness for you creating this opportunity for Deadheads to lose ourselves and become Explorers, Detectives and Pirates. Every day is a new adventure and the path of discovery has no pitfalls as we are introduced to new areas of exploration with each wrong (or right) turn. The camaraderie amongst us has that eternal smile of a Shakedown Miracle. I’m thankful for all of you and for John, Stu and Mike for creating DeadBase and Charlie Miller for all his phenomenal recordings. Never had such a good time…
rasta5ziggy7 months 2 weeks agoJimmy CliffRIP........one of my top 3 concerts ever....1988 at a club in Bloomington, IN called Jakes...rode my bicycle from Indy to B-town (80+ miles) in 100 degree weather to be there.....almost died from the heat but made it.......worth ever minute....the harder they come, the harder they fall.....most of the originals are gone, or going......Burning Spear is still kickin' it, but he's 80...saw him about a month ago at the Salt Shed in Chicago......dang...really bummed about Jimmy.
opeelipsky7 months 2 weeks agoJust a little sweetnessThe break between these 2 songs is almost bigger than a drive-in movie.
I guess it doesn't matter, since this should be an easy find.
Hope you find just a little light with this duo on Day 24.
Only 6 more Days…

After 24 hours of eyes and 100 casey jones...
Its time to put in another 24 hours of eyes
22/24
Doh, and Nice
Can't figure out how I missed Casey, I swore I checked that show, but went back once the answer was up and sure enough, right there it is. Nice to have an easy one today.
you're killing me smallz
hey you got the win congrats. dave killin me with the hints already too. easy one to begin with
-
just hung out to listen to the rest of the show. highly recommend the experience. the second set just never ends
@Hornsby - Hints
Yeah...and we didn't even need hints for this one!
So Many Roads lead to Internet Archive!
Sending out a kind reminder that in these days of slashing non-profits, Archive dot org faces immense challenges in their mission to provide free music, literature, films, history, etc. to everyone worldwide. I can’t begin to measure the immense contribution Archive has been to me personally in listening to the Dead....and of course it’s an incomparable asset to our 30 DoD searches. Even other sites, like Setlists, Relisten, Jerrybase, etc., refer & link to Archive.
So, HUGE thanks to Internet Archive! I just made a donation and I hope you'll join me in contributing to this truly one-of-a-kind and INVALUABLE resource!
Peace!
SUPPORT THE INTERNET ARCHIVE !
it's really easy to become a monthly donor, and every dollar you donate helps you play when November and 30DoD come around again.
as well as all the countless hours of enjoyment and enlightenment you'll have during the rest of the year.
The Internet Archive
Every year at this time I find myself contributing to the not for profit, it not like I only use the Archive during 30 days of dead but it is a reminder that without the work they do this fun lil game we play would be impossible, at least for me. Every lil bit helps keeps Internet Achieve up and running.
Just a little sign of relief!
So nice to have an easy one after that Casey Jones. Congrats Smallz. Way to go!
a lot of light
Dave put a spotlight right on this show, which is indeed a classic.
i am again grateful, with Grateful Day coming up this week, keeping me very busy, to have another straight answer.
thanks, Dave !
Cringe
I am not a fan of Picasso Moon. And to join it with a Brent tune is just being rude. It is, however, one of Brent's best 2 or 3 tunes, so it has that going for it. Also, it turns out to be an easy one to help make up for yesterday.
Congrats Smallz
Congratulations Bro. Is this your first? I know you’ve been playing for a while.
I was tempted...
I was tempted to enter my guess without bothering to listen, given the hint, but gave it a listen anyway (don't want to be too over-confident). That's 14 straight now, and 16 overall after slow start this year. Only six days left after today. Stalking satisfaction!
Yea for smallz
Congratulations! Always nice when a long-time regular wins.
Given the second dose from this date, I'm hoping this is a little foreshadowing on Dave's part.
No Need for JerryBase Today
Picasso Moon was never on my "need to see" while on tour but I don't consider it a throw away number...meaning its cool, this version is actually pretty good. As for Just a lil light, Gawd Brent was such an important member in my heart, his vocals and talent on keys was beyond reproach, this number is a great vehicle to showcase that.
Congrats Smallz always great to see a familiar name win the day.
Hear Hear to contributing anything you can to Internet Achieve, they house the 30 years of music we all love along with lots of other meaningful and historical content.
Be Well You All
SMALLZ
Hey now!
SMALLZ
THUMBS UP SMALLZ!
Thanks everybody!
And thank you Dave! First time winner, playing since '14. Didn't think it was ever possible. I have to give props to my wife who wouldn't let me give up yesterday, even as she assigned more chores for me around the house. In between cleaning up the leaves and putting up holiday decorations I came back, tried again, and found what I'd missed the first time through. She's as excited as I am this morning.
Today is a nice break from the intensity of the hunt.
Have a grateful day. Peace
Congrats!
Great to see my friend on here win! Well done. Long time coming . . .
Thanks Jeremy!
Not gonna lie, your comment to the effect of "not too bad at all" made me think about the bad boy Pistons of Detroit, so I went back and listened again to those Easttown Theater Caseys and voila!
winning
Nice smallz, do you know how to claim your prize? I won earlier this month and never received an email.
Prize
No idea what, if anything, to do now! Just hoping my name is thrown into the hat for the grand prize box set! I don't buy the box sets anymore, just the Dave's Picks subscription.
By the way, that reminds me to just say here that it is getting increasingly difficult remembering all the shows that have been officially released, as these are off limits to our 30DoD selections.
Thanks for entering today
Congrats Smallz must feel good. I was also hauling leaves yesterday getting set for mulch in next years garden north of Chicago. What a clue today! More time for the show. Gotta love that.
Thanks Bundebush
I appreciate it :)
It sure does feel good.
I'm in Michigan, pretty much directly across the lake from Chicago.
thanks David
fun month and I love today's nugs thank you for sharing
MUCH, MUCH Easier!
After the multi-hour hunt I went on yesterday, I gotta thank Dave for giving us a softball one today. Ain't half bad, either!
Fall 1971
I was very surprised to see all of the trouble people had with getting the 10/23/1971 Casey Jones. There is only one tour where Keith's piano has that tone. It sounds like he is playing an upright piano. The custom pickups they developed to capture the big, beautiful Europe '72 grand piano tone didn't come along until after Keith's first tour.
Looney tunes tuning...
was cut off of the 1st source I tried on that correct date and then I went everywhere in the 2 year period. My second mistake was assuming Donna didn't sing on Casey Jones. It was certainly easy enough to know it was Keith era but those of you who called this easy underestimate the number and kind of mistakes an easy pick can generate for some of us.
A little too easy today with a one-off combo and give-away hint, lol.
Cheers and congrats to Smallz and all who have won this year.
RE: @1stshow70878
I always called that tuning "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down" tuning.
Willow
As do I. And that's how I searched for it too. Just used the short form this AM. Interesting that my Deadbase didn't denote that tuning as it often does with tunings. Another thing that "got" me. But persistence paid off in the end.
Cheers
And while we're at it, why does this comment section, and some others on this site but not all, keep putting these comments not in chronological order?
comments ordering
if you are on the main 30DoD page, the comments are chronological. if you're on the page for the specific song, replies are posted under the comment being replied to.
i think.
1stshow70878
Ok, so they are the same thing? I listened to a tuning called "Looney Tunes" and it didn't sound like the same melody as "The Merry-Go-Round Broke Down." But then again, it could have been mislabled. Anyways, thanks for the info!
Outsmarted myself
I tried to manipulate the search engine to eliminate Casey Jones encores. It worked, but also eliminated 10/23
Back to the drawing board.
Nice versions of both of…
Nice versions of both of these songs and about as easy a search as we get during 30DOD. JPB sure knew how to articulate some dark subject matter. I'll bet he has a good laugh when he sees us trying to visualize tinsel tigers, chrome-spike bunnies and metal angels and the like.
Just a little sweetness
The break between these 2 songs is almost bigger than a drive-in movie.
I guess it doesn't matter, since this should be an easy find.
Hope you find just a little light with this duo on Day 24.
Only 6 more Days…
