Grateful Dead

Another smokin’ selection today! And just like that, wow, another 30 Days has come and gone. How sweet it is to have shared it with you all…this wild and Deadicated tribe that wanders back home here every November. Until we’re blessed to converge again further on up the road, I wish each of you peace and love and health!

And to the band, and Dave and everyone behind the scenes—THANK YOU with all my heart! This year’s 30 Days was particularly stellar! I will continue to savor it in the days between now and when we gather again. EVERY year my heart grows bigger! Cheers!
(30/30)

last entry into the old notebook. you know, come around the end of august i find myself lamenting the end of summer but then think - before you know it I'll be knee deep in the 30 days, and now it's already passed. time and space man.
pretty easy year but some really top-notch selections this time around. i count 27 shows i left up that i stumbled across that i need to go listen to now.
thank you for a real good time!!
peace everyone

Thanks Dave and everyone for another great November. Its been a long time since i've won one.. Im just sorry its over. A great selection to close out the month and another stellar 30 for 30. I love playing with everyone and cant wait till next year.

A reminder that Internet Archive can use our help! In community like ours, gratefully we’re not on our own, and hopefully the Archive isn’t either. I hope you’ll join me with a kind contribution to Internet Archive….it will keep us dancing and shaking our bones into eternity.

p.s., I just saw on their main page that the Grateful Dead section has 17,930 items. All at your disposal!

to finish off a wonderful 30 days. If Dave had been really tricky, he could have given us this same pair from the same show as yesterday, but that would probably have been too simple :)

Wow, over already. Many thanks (again!) to Mr. David Lemieux for a fantastic year and wonderful hints. I had my best year, missing an early Jack-A Roe - made me mad because I saw them play it the first time at the Auditorium in Chicago. Also had one venue error due to that arena in Oakland so I'm counting this year as a 29/30.

Always have fun, that's for sure, and a special shout out to this fantastic community of Deadheads. Peace and Be Kind

what a long strange trip it's been! another November in the books. we had 4 solid repeats and one partial repeat from previous years. today is not one of them. and no Pigpen yet again this year.
been having a lot of fun this month and I don't want it to stop! but you know what they say: nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile and look forward to next year with you all!

Peace,
smallz

I won day 4 and never got any mail about it

28/30

Found today's thanks to metal shredder weir

That was super fun, sad to see it end. Always look forward to November and it makes the whole month a gas waking up to find out. Thanks to everyone who put on the party and all that attended. It was fun! 30 for 30 this year :) Happy Holidays and Best Wishes aLL!!

Another 30 Days, trembled and exploded into the empty space.
The month of November seemed like a steam locomotive rolling down the track.
I sure do enjoy The 30 Days. This might have been the first year I guessed all 30 dates correct.
Beyond grateful for this band and all their extended family & staff.
I hope everyone has a wonderful winter & blessed Christmas season.

Another great 30 days come and gone, my oh my. See you cats and mamas again next year. Be well all! Let's count our blessings. And hear, hear Ever Grateful regarding making a donation to Internet Archive. I for one will do so, as I'd like to see that platform continue, and they need our donations for that. Nearly nine hours of music again this year. Ran out of time to guess yesterday (but the 7/16/72 show was the next one I was going to listen to, dang it). No time Turkey Day either. I'm 21/30 this year, off from last year's 22 and 2023's high water mark of 27. There's always next year (let us hope).

Aside from a handful of co-writer credits on early jam creations like Alligator, Caution, That's It For the Other One, and Dark Star, really there are just two Pigpenned songs that may have unreleased versions: Easy Wind and Operator. All Europe '72 tunes written by McKernan (Mr. Charlie, The Stranger (Two Souls in Communion), Chinatown Shuffle) have had all recorded versions already released. Other 'Pigpen songs' like Smokestack Lightning and Turn on Your Lovelight are covers with copyright implications.

The interplay play between Brent and Jerry is palpable here, what a selection to end another wonderful ride. Thanks to Dave and crew for putting on a great party, and a party is only great if the freaks that attend are cool AF. Sad to see it all come and go so fast, its alway a real good time thats fer sure. Have a beautiful trip around the sun and we will see ya next year, same time same place. Be Well Ya'll

Thank you!

Thanks again for another month of well curated tracks. We appreciate it so much.

I pulled out a variety of tricks to get this one, but once the tricks were employed it was pretty easy -- very civilized!

Nice hanging with you all for another November! Good luck! Make America Grateful Again!!!

Alas, another year without one Pigpen song (that's five!)

To All for keeping it "Alive"!
Good Luck and Enjoy All

Always a hoot!

Much appreciation for all involved for bringing another year of treasure hunting, always giving us pleasure in the hunt, as well as the joy of finding hidden gems, we might not have known about. Till next year, Peace and love to all.
Jerry really goes off in the last 4 minutes of TOO, love the Other Ones from this era.

That's it for another one...
Pretty sure I nailed this one and that will give me 29/30. I wish could have been available to search for the Victim or the Crime... Ah, maybe next year I'll get 30/30...

Thanks again for such a great time in November
See all you Heads again next year.

Thanks Dave & everyone at Dead.net who makes this possible every November. What a treat it is! Wishing you all good health & good fortune. And, as Mickey said, Please Be Kind! November done come and gone my oh my.

Just want to say thanks for sharing these great tunes every year, very much appreciated.

its a win every day i hit that download button

Thanks for another great year of 30 days! There’s always one that stumps me and this year it was Victim or the Crime. Last year it was Casey Jones. Good luck all for the grand prize! See ya next year!

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate this little corner of the world. Every year, this group reminds me that kindness, patience, and good vibes are still alive and well. It’s rare these days to see people come together with so much generosity and zero drama. Thank you all for keeping the spirit of the music—and the community—alive. Grateful for you all

Got today’s on the 2nd try. Knew which one it wasn’t by the quick transition into TOO. Also eliminated those coming out of another song. A couple little subtle clues plus a single Jerry lick synced up to give me the answer. Thanks for another fun birthday month.

I've been doing 30 Days since November 2010, and I can honestly say that this was one of the best in terms of the quality of the music they released, and the submission form has never been easier to use. Thanks to all at Dead.net who make this possible.

I got this one almost right away, but I know this tour like the back of my hand. All-time favorite Bobby guitar tone here. Enjoy.

Pigpen did make an appearance this year on Alligator > Day 7

Listened to the intro then outro and did the book work and came up with a list of 14 possibilities, the 1st of which I attended. Went through them quickly in no particular order with the outro being key and was on the last one thinking oh man, I'm going to have to write a new list including something like "Jam" which would add like another hundred when lo and behold there it was. Why is it you always find something in the last place you look, lol. Got 28/30 this year, wasn't focused those 1st two days.
Cheers to all

Peace, love and Jerry to you all… see you in ELEVEN months!

What an awesome way to end the month. Thank you Dave! Thanks to everyone who took part! May the four winds blow you safely home. See you next year.!

once in a while….i get lucky, i took a comment, deadbase xi, and relisten, picked the first within a couple minutes total of dave, and….wheeee, .
Thanks to everyone, wasn’t a lot of time to hang this year but got a new playlist and my records intact. Best was i am getting good , albeit not 30-30 or even 25, but slowly i turn step by step. yall have an awesome year. may we find the path to move on from the cheese doodle. Pig, Keit, Brent, Jerry, Phil, Donna, fares thee well, get that sound check ready we gonna have some show in a cloud one day. Thanks dave never have as good a time as this month. Qman

Boy another November come and gone. Familiar names always in the game. Wishing everyone the very best for the holidays and new year. We have a snow fort to complete here north of Chicago and then later I'll queue up this show.

Can't believe it's been 30 days! Excited for next year. I had a lot of fun searching for these and went 25 for 30 which feels solid. Missed Day 1; was off by a few months Day 2; then lost time three of the days somewhere in the middle. This month really did a great job of scratching the GD itch. Happy getting ready for winter!

Wishing you all the best in this year's end. Here's to 2026.

I missed one day early on, due to travel and until I got to bed and realized I completely forgot! But I set an alert so I wouldn't do that again.
Thanks to Dave and crew for setting this up again for all of us. This made November the best month this year. Not to mention, these selections were so choice! Happy Holidays to all

To another year of 30 Days! Have a MERRY CRISTMAS all, and hoping for peace till next November!

Thankyou to everyone that made this month's music possible; thankyou to everyone that took part; and thankyou to everyone for the commentary and community. A brilliant month of music and fun - it's been much needed light in a time of darkness elsewhere around the world. Peace, love and happiness to you all for the rest of this year and for 2026.

For a real good time!

30 Days has come and gone my o my!

Be good everyone see you next year

Thanks to Dave and everyone for the free music. Such a fun month. All the best to everyone, and have a grate year!

I NEVER COULD UNDERSTAND HOW ANY ONE COULD COMPLAIN AND CRITICIZE A GIFT THEY ARE GIVEN, & RETURN EVERY YEAR JUST TO COMPLAIN AGAIN.
Thanks again Dave, i appreciate any and every November 30 days, even having the records to find repeats. I have never had such a good time, and besides some requests I think it is just exactly perfect. Thanks everyone, sorry bout the rant. I needed to get that out. Peace Love And Happines.

What a great month. Thank you Dave and crew, and everyone here for everything. "Gone are the days we stopped to decide where we should go, we just ride!" Be safe, be kind and fare thee well until next year...

Slam dunk easy and a great way to end our month long musical odyssey. Many thanks to Dave & Co. and all the behind the scenes people who bring 30DOD back to us each year. Especially all of you super song sleuths who participate with entertaining fun facts, commentary and hints. Happy trails till next year.

to quote Dr. John.
i got today's easily thanks to Jerry's lyric flub.

i am deeply grateful for this great game, and of course all the great music, and most especially the wonderful group of people we have here playin' together. thanks to all of you for this peaceful space.
thank you, Dave and crew. see y'all next year !

Thank you to all involved and see you all next year.
Peace &
Love
