30 Days of Dead
As far as miracles go, November is bountiful. That's right, we're making miracles every day of the month and hoping to fire up your trusty synapses while we're at it.
Each day, we will be giving away an unreleased Grateful Dead track from the vault, selected by Dead archivist David Lemieux. And we're going to put your knowledge to the test with a chance to win prizes, not to mention bragging rights in the community.
So let's get to it, shall we?
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 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.
Guess the venue and date correctly and you'll be automatically entered to win the prize of the day - a 2021 Grateful Dead Wall Calendar. Each day a winner will be selected at random, so take your time and make your best guess! Answer correctly, and you will also be automatically entered to win the Grand Prize - a copy of our June 1976 boxed set.
Today's Song
Hint:
A perfect way to send people home after a wonderful night of music, or 30 days of great songs…

East Rutherford, NJ, Brendan Byrne Arena
From opening night of the Dead's five night stand at Brendan Byrne, this "China>Rider" is quite a bit longer than most versions from this era, with lots of MIDI fun along the way.

Thanks for changing the bit-rate to 320 kbps! It's much appreciated.

I recently found out, from the good old grateful Dead podcast, that this was originally written as a tribute to Janis joplin. The lyrics make sense
Thank you for a real good time!!!!!!!!
