Guess the Year returns with Season 2 beginning 1.1.24... which will feature video. Subscribe to our YouTube channel now to watch each episode play out. We will of course continue releasing the show as a podcast for those who prefer to listen.

Tune in on 1.1.24. New curators, new format (4 contestants per week instead of 5), new finals scoring system (3 songs total-- lower aggregate score wins). 

Also, please take a moment to rate Guess the Year 5 stars and write a review. I know it isn't fun, but it helps the show a lot.

See you next week.

This is the second part of a marathon finals matchup. This week, David Gans curates the setlist as Garrin, Steve, and Jeremy duke it out for the Guess the Year crown. 

David's new book "Improvised Lives: Grateful Dead 1972-1985", which features photographs and stories, is available now. You can also check out David's regular live streams, where he plays Grateful Dead tunes, folk, country, and beyond, here.

As always, thanks to 30k ft for drawing the poster.

In addition to the competition, we discuss Frank Zappa, Trey vs Jerry’s guitar playing, why ’83 is an underrated year for the Dead, and much more.

For those interested in jumping into Frank Zappa, Kyle made this Spotify playlist. And here's the mentioned Charlie Rose/Trey Anastasio interview.

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.

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.
