    "When we began discussing audio projects to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Grateful Dead back in 2012, we knew we wanted to do something completely unprecedented. We could think of nothing more exciting or ambitious than a career-spanning overview of the band's live legacy focused on what best tells the story: complete concerts. Our first criterion was the very best live music to represent any given year in the band’s history. We wanted to make sure that there were not only the tent-pole shows that fans have been demanding for decades but also ones that are slightly more under the radar, but equally excellent. For those who listen to the entire box straight through, chronologically, the narrative of the Grateful Dead's live legacy will be seen as second to none in the pantheon of music history." - David Lemieux

    We are more than pleased to announce the Grateful Dead's most ambitious release ever: 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN. Available as both an 80-disc boxed set and a custom lightning-bolt USB drive, the collection includes 30 unreleased live shows, one for each year the band was together from 1966 to 1995, along with one track from their earliest recording sessions in 1965. Packed with over 73 hours of music, both the boxed set and the USB drive will be individually numbered limited editions.

    The 80-disc boxed set is individually numbered and limited to 6,500 copies, a nod to the band’s formation in 1965. Along with the CDs, it also includes a gold-colored 7-inch vinyl single which bookends the band’s career. The A-side is “Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)” from the band’s earliest recording session in 1965 with the B-side of the last song the band ever performed together live, “Box Of Rain” recorded during their final encore at Soldier Field in Chicago on July 9, 1995.

    The box also comes with a 288-page book that features an extensive, career-spanning essay written by Nick Meriwether, who oversees the Dead archives at the University of California, Santa Cruz, along with special remembrances of the band submitted by fans. Also included is a scroll that offers a visual representation of how the band’s live repertoire has evolved through the years.

    The USB drive version* will be shaped like a gold lightning bolt with the Grateful Dead 50th anniversary logo engraved on the side. The drive includes all of the music from the collection in both FLAC (96/24) and MP3 formats and is an individually numbered limited edition of 1,000 copies. Digital version of the book also included on USB.

    Shows will NOT be sold individually on CD. This release is sure to sell out quickly so pre-order your copy today and stick around as we will be revealing a mighty fine selection of music, art, and much, much more right here.

    (Looking for a smaller 50th Anniversary commemorative keepsake? September 18th will see the release of a four-CD version of the collection titled 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN: THE DEFINITIVE LIVE STORY 1965-1995. More on that here.)

    Head on over to Rollingstone.com for the very first listen of "Morning Dew" 9/18/87 Madison Square Garden, David Fricke's exclusive interview with archivist David Lemieux, and the reveal of 30 TRIPS AROUND THE SUN's '69 and '84 shows.

    *Helpful hints for using your USB:

    Running the 30 Trips Player / Reader program:
    On Windows – Navigate to the USB drive and double click the PCStart.exe file to run.
    On MacOS – Open the GD 30 Trips drive, and double click the MacStart to run.

    Viewing the digital book:
    You can either view it within the program that comes on the drive, or by opening the PDF directly.

    To view the PDF, open the PDF folder on the drive and the USB_bk_spreads_08-31 file within. Selecting the option within your PDF reading application to view as a “single page” might be preferable to viewing as a continuous document.

    Importing music into iTunes and other library programs:
    When you import the songs from the USB into your library, the information used to identify the track will likely leave them sorted incorrectly. Please use the song list found here to re-number the songs for each show so that they playback in the correct order.

    Anyone who has completely written off post-'77 or Brent is missing out big time, I feel bad for them, because they are not getting the full scope of the Dead's amazing evolution. Seriously, start again and listen to "Without a Net", "Dosin' @ the Knick" and "Nightfall of Diamonds", or Disc 2 of DP6, That stuff is totally valid and not to be missed, do yourself a favor.

    My wife.....
    Last December found my GD cash stash, I had been saving my pennies from the day the countdown to the 50th started, I'd saved $1,642.00 until she "discovered" it, I didn't really hide it, as the cash envelope was hidden in plain sight. I put in the kitchen cabinet next to the "good" dishes she found it when she had me take the dishes down so she could wash & dry them for Christmas dinner, needless to say she freaked out, she accused me of everything from restarting my drug habit to having an affair with another woman when I told her what it is for it didn't make things easier however her mind was put at ease, to be perfectly honest with you kind folks here on Deadland things just haven't been the same entre nous since that day. Time heals all wounds however it has changed how I do things with my wife. I learned that hiding "things" from the wife shows a certain level of mistrust, especially when I trust my wife implicitly. Due to certain circumstances beyond our control I was NOT able to order "30 Days", however as a result of those circumstances my wife & I have never been closer. She's been thinking up ways for me to order "30 Days" however I told her to not worry about it as our daughter's needs are more important than any box set. She's upset that I wasn't able to purchase one especially when I had the money saved up, Baby girl I love you more than words can tell. Chilly you owe her more than sex my friend, she too is a GREAT woman NEVER let her go!!!!!

    My jaw is on the floor. I have heard rumors of Things in Australia being backwards to this here... like the toilet swirls down the opposite way. .. Or people actually like vegemite.... haha But are you telling me, that in Australia if u buy a box set, get busted for doing it by your wife, your punishment is that you owe her tons of sex???? In America, our wives find out we buy a box set surreptitiously, we get our balls chopped off. totally the opposite. I'm moving.

    When the big box announcement finally happened last week I was torn. Lot of cash but I know I'd hate myself if I did not buy one. I spoke with the wife who is not a Deadhead, but understands my love for the Dead. She said no. Too much money, and I am in between jobs so the reality is the box is not affordable at this time. Bummed I was. Late last Thursday I decide to place an order, or try to place an order. You see my credit card does not have the required funds left on it to make the purchase. But I figure my card will be declined and that will be that. Needless to say the order went through and now I have a confirmation sitting in my in box. In Australian dollars the total comes to around $938. Hopefully the charges drop off before the wife notices. Now I have a few months to come up with the money. Happy I am! The weekend goes by and everything seems good. Today I'm in the process of getting a couple of home brews going and was having a conversation with the wife about a phone call I received for a job interview tomorrow. I happened to say that the job isn't great but I have a box set to pay for. She gets a Serious look on her face and says, We need to talk about that! Right away I said "You said yourself you need to have available funds or the order won't go through." You know trying to blame the bank, not me. She says; "It shouldn't have gone through but that is not the point. You don't know the amount of time I spent trying to order you that box for your birthday. I tried to do it online and it wouldn't work so I called customer service they said they are having problems with ordering and then listened to him tell me how his sister and husband may be moving to Australia, etc etc. I'm even having it shipped to my mom's so you wouldn't know." So there you have it. Apparently I now owe her tons of sex.

    It seems that 7,200 were reserved in 4 days, many boxes became available up to and even after the official release date because of declined and cancelled credit card orders. People were able to sign up on a waiting list as they became available.

    6/14 gets my vote for '76 too. Not just a great H/S/F, but the Crazy Fingers through Cosmic Charlie sequence that preceedes it is fantastic as well.

This offering from 30 Trips is a classic Bruce/Vinnie show! The whole fall 1990 tour really. For a band who just hired two new players this tour has some mighty fine moments. New York to the UK and more! Good stuff!
