The Trail

One note per day of the year.

A quest: for every calendar date, the Curator intends to write a note on the top-rated Grateful Dead show across all years. Once complete, every day of the Atlas will carry a curated take — and Today's Top Show will always land with the Curator's commentary attached. Progress below.
