Oakland, CA, Coliseum Arena
December 28, 1988
This Uncle John's Band came out of Space, and led into a Miracle that included one of the best improvisational jams of the late Brent era

New York, NY, Felt Forum - Madison Square Garden
December 4, 1971
This is the opening song of the opening of a four night run at the Felt Forum in NYC

Hint: Two tracks, one each from Bob's and Jerry's solo debut records
Mountain View, CA, Shoreline Amphitheatre
May 12, 1991

Day 07
I Know You Rider
Hint: Our first repeat in this year's 30 Days Of Dead, but in a remarkably different arrangement
Alfred, NY, Alfred College
May 1, 1970
This was recorded the night before Harpur College, and features the acoustic Grateful Dead harmonizing beautifully on a song that was interchangeably joined electrically with China Cat and played acoustically like this during this era
Day 08
Shakedown Street
Hint: A long, jamming show-opener from one of the last Grateful Dead tours
New York, NY, Madison Square Garden
October 15, 1994
This version of Shakedown Street was at one of the final Madison Square Garden shows, with their last show there being a few days later on 10/19/94
Day 09
Liberty
Hint: A late-era Garcia-Hunter song that was often played as an encore
Albany, NY, Knickerbocker Arena
March 29, 1993
Liberty was the last up-tempo songs by Garcia and Hunter, to go along with the beautiful, slower-tempo'd ballad songs like Days Between, So Many Roads, Lazy River Road
Day 10
Black Throated Wind
Hint: Our second repeat of this year's 30 Days Of Dead, but being nearly two decades earlier than our previous version this year, we thought that'd be OK
San Francisco, CA, Winterland Arena
February 22, 1974
There's plenty of difference in this version of Black Throated Wind compared to the 1991 version a few days ago: one drummer, and different keyboard players. Plus a different sound system and recording technique, so it sounds extremely different
Day 11
Lazy Lightning>Supplication
Hint: A song sequence new to the comeback year, where it would stick around for nearly a decade
Columbus, OH, Mershon Auditorium - Ohio State University
September 30, 1976

Day 12
Samson and Delilah
Hint: A song that was around for nearly two decades, and usually played on a specific day of the week, particularly in later years
Pittsburgh, PA, Pittsburgh Civic Arena
April 18, 1978
This version of Samson and Delilah is positioned in a rare-post Drums spot in the show, coming right out of a typically wild Rhythm Devils from this era
Day 13
Estimated Prophet>Eyes Of The World
Hint: A combination that created in 1977, and was quite common until 1990, when the Dead largely flipped it on its head
Philadelphia, PA, The Spectrum
August 30, 1980
Estimated Prophet and Eyes Of The World were first joined together shortly after Estimated debuted in early 1977. They were played together quite often until 1990, when the more common variance was Eyes Of The World>Estimated Prophet
Day 14
Reuben and Cherise
Hint: You could count how many times the Dead played this on one hand, all within a few months of each other
Landover, MD, Capital Centre
March 17, 1991
This Jerry Garcia Band mainstay from 1978 was busted out by the Dead at this show at the Cap Center, and was played four times in total before being retired by the Dead
Day 15
Throwing Stones>Playing In The Band reprise
Hint: On the way to being a standard show-closer, but with a big twist
Albany, NY, Knickerbocker Arena
March 25, 1991
Throwing Stones generally went into Not Fade Away in this era, and occasionally Lovelight, but here there's a big twist as it heads into Playing In The Band, reprised from the Playing that was started two nights earlier on 3/23/91
Day 16
That's It For The Other One>Cosmic Charlie
Hint: A couple of songs from the Dead's 2nd and 3rd albums, including the first full Dead version of one of them
Santa Barbara, CA, Unknown Venue
January 17, 1969
This excellent SB show features an intense Other One suite, plus the first performance of Cosmic Charlie by the full band; they'd played it three months earlier without Bob and Pigpen
Day 17
Bertha>Greatest Story Ever Told
Hint: A classic show-opening combination from the 1980s, featuring two songs debuted on the same day a dozen years earlier
San Francisco, CA, San Francisco Civic Auditorium

Both of these songs debuted 2/18/71 in Port Chester, NY, and in the 1980s were commonly joined to open a show

Deal, Playing In The Band, Loser
Hint: A trio of Grateful Dead classics that debuted on solo records
Columbus, OH, Ohio Theatre
October 31, 1971
All three of these songs debuted in February 1971, and would appear on Jerry's and Bob's respective solo records in 1972
Day 20
Feel Like A Stranger>Ship Of Fools
Hint: A somewhat rare 2nd set opener, and a classic from the mid-1970s
Providence, RI, Providence Civic Center
March 31, 1986
Feel Like A Stranger was more commonly played in the first set, and Ship Of Fools was always a treat.
Day 21
Cassidy>It Must've Been The Roses
Hint: Two Grateful Dead classics that were originally on solo records
Morrison, CO, Red Rocks Amphitheatre
June 14, 1984
Cassidy first appeared on Bob's Ace album in 1972, and didn't become part of the repertoire until 1976 (aside from one 1974 performance), and Roses originally appeared on Hunter's excellent Rum Runners album in 1974
Day 22
Cumberland Blues>Dire Wolf
Hint: A couple of songs that were a big part of the Dead's transition from psychedelic pioneers to Americana music practitioners
San Francisco, CA, Winterland Arena
December 31, 1970
Both of these songs debuted in 1969, and were included on their first of two 1970 masterpieces, Workingman's Dead
Day 23
Casey Jones
Hint: A rare non-live concert song here on 30 Days Of Dead, a song that hadn't been played live in a couple of years, and would never be again
Memphis, TN, The Pyramid
April 1, 1995
Casey Jones was sporadically in the repertoire from 1977-1984, and then after an eight year hiatus, it returned for four versions (three in 1992, one in 1993). This soundcheck is likely from 4/1/95 in Memphis, although without definitive proof, we'll just call it 1995 Soundcheck (4/1/95 TBC)
Day 24
Easy Answers
Hint: A rare Weir-Hunter collaboration
Noblesville, IN, Deer Creek Music Center
June 23, 1993
This was the last Weir-Hunter collaboration, following Corinna as the rebirth of a songwriting partnership that had ended two decades earlier
Day 25
China Cat Sunflower>Doin' That Rag
Hint: A double dose of Aoxomoxoa Dead
San Francisco, CA, Family Dog at the Great Highway
August 30, 1969
Before China Cat Sunflower was joined with I Know You Rider later in 1969, it had a free-flowing outro that could go many places, including to Doin' That Rag

Hint: Some outtakes from a terrific live Grateful Dead album
Philadelphia, PA, Civic Convention Hall Auditorium
August 4, 1974

Hint: A duet of Hunter songs, brought together in 1977 and rarely separated; one whose music was written by Garcia, one by someone else
Chicago, IL, Uptown Theatre
December 3, 1979
Scarlet Begonias and Fire On The Mountain were joined in 1977 at the very first show Fire was played, and stuck together mostly with a few very cool expections over the next 18 years.
Day 29
He's Gone
Hint: A long version of a relatively new song that would have been unfamiliar to most in attendance aside from tape traders and tour heads
Springfield, MA, Springfield Civic Center Arena
October 2, 1972
This terrific version of He's Gone was played just before Europe '72 was released, and although by this time it was often used as a launching pad for other big jams, here it's played a beautiful stand-alone rendition
