Grahame Lesh and Brian Lesh

This week, Grahame Lesh and Brian Lesh guess the year of Grateful Dead live tracks as a team (this episode was filmed live and is also available on YouTube). I play five songs and their goal is to be 10 or fewer years off in aggregate. Tickets are on sale now for Sunday Daydream Festival, which takes place on 8/27/23 in Novato, CA. The festival features Phil Lesh & the Terrapin All-Stars, Melvin Seals & JGB, and more. Grahame and Brian are playing for shirts provided by officially licensed Grateful Dead designer Play Dead. The episode poster was drawn by 30k ft.

Smego, Murph, & Geov vs Todd, Joshua, & Jonathan (Part II)

This week's episode is a team format. Returning contestants Todd, Joshua, and Jonathan listen to a live track then collaborate on a single guess. For each year they're off, they get a point. After five songs, the total amount they missed by is their team's score, which will be compared to the team that guessed the same songs last week (5). The team with the lower score wins GTY shirts.

Smego, Murph, & Geov vs Todd, Joshua, & Jonathan (Part I)

This week's episode is a team format (the last match in the series). Returning contestants Smego, Murph, and Geov listen to a live track then collaborate on a single guess. For each year they're off, they get a point. After five songs, the total amount they missed by is their team's score. I'll play the same five songs for another team of three next week, and the team with the lower score wins GTY shirts.

Cooper, Gemma, & Michael vs Nate, Adam, & Mike (Part II)
