30 Days of Dead
Art by BluesforSallah.
As the young folks like to say, it’s time to flex your Grateful Dead knowledge and take home a high-quality MP3 download every day in November while you are at it. 30 days of unreleased Grateful Dead tracks from the vault, selected by Dead archivist and producer David Lemieux? Yes, please! The tracks are yours, no strings attached, but we hope you’ll stick around for the chance to win some sweet swag from the Dead.
If you don’t know what we’re on about, here’s the deal:
You know your Ables from your Bakers from your C's, but can your finely tuned ears differentiate the cosmic "comeback" tour from a spacey 70's show? Each day we'll post a free download from one of the Dead's coveted shows. Will it be from that magical night at Madison Square Garden in '93 or from way back when they were just starting to warm it up at Winterland? Is that Pigpen's harmonica we hear? Brent on keys? Step right up and try your hand all November long and win prizes to boot.
This year’s GRAND PRIZE will be a copy of the numbered, limited-edition boxed set LISTEN TO THE RIVER: ST. LOUIS '71 '72 '73. Daily winners will take home a 2022 Grateful Dead Calendar.
Today's Song
Hint:
A huge classic, plus two newer songs released just 10 days earlier

El Paso, TX, County Coliseum
"Weather Report Suite" was a rare song in the Dead's career that debuted live after it had been recorded and mixed for the studio album on which it would appear (Wake Of The Flood). They played the entire suite from September 1973 to October 1974, and then dropped the first two parts of the suite when they returned to the road in 1976

Hey everyone, I've only posted twice this year because my life is a busy, stampeding zoo at the moment. I wanted to let everyone know that in addition to all the tunes this year, you can find ALL the tunes from the 30 Days for the past 12 years. Let me see if I can describe how to do it (a definite challenge this year!).
Take my username and put a d o t after it and throw a net after it. You'll see 30 Days at the bottom on the left, and every year's collection is available there.
What great tunes this year! (As usual.) I enjoyed reading everyone's comments even if I was constantly on the fly. Another November under the belt :-) I love that month now, even if I'm more a fan of the spring and summer than fall and winter. Happy December and 2022 to everyone!
When I started playing I was still based overseas in Kazakhstan. It was almost impossible for me to search efficiently. With the tips from the group here, I generally hit almost everyone now. I hope to know the winners feeling sometime but we'll. Weir everywhere~~~ I'd love to know how many people play each day.
A grand prize winner has posted before after Nov maybe 3-4 yrs ago. In the Day 30 comments like we are now.
Make an"official" Ltd edition CD release of 30 Days of Dead say 1000 copies? Better yet make ONE copy & award that to the grand prize winner, now that would be a GRAND prize wouldn't it?
