    "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.)

    Good comment
    Cuz. Keith's playing on 3/20/77 is what I, too, was going to comment on. Mickey definitely clobbers Keith's space, not only there, during Row Jimmy, but for the rest of his tenure - it's just the two drummer thing.And from the same show, LoveJerry was looking for a single song that showed Keith's decline, well, that would have to be the Stella coming out of the OT. I would love to pick his brain about that darn "sound" he made, or maybe had to make, in place of his undiminished grand piano skill that graced so many beautifully rendered heartbreaking versions he played in support of Jerry for those golden years, especially in the Fall of '72. Decline? Hmmmph.

    I Swore I Would Never Do This
    OMG I just went through my dead.net store confirmation orders and added up the cost of buying the E72 box set 1 at a time (a few of you may recall, I have a PhD in Europe '72 ;-) It cost me almost double. Ton in tax and shipping. Blah. Interesting in hindsight to see the order I bought them in (and how fast I was ordering - man, like a freaking crack whore!) Let's see - I bought 4/16 first because I wanted an extended jam Playing in the Band with no Donna. One of my least favorite shows now, and I've grown to love Donna, caterwauling and all. I bought Tivoli 4/14 after reading about it in the top 20 Dead shows in Rolling Stone. It's a good show, but they're all good shows - not sure why this one made the cut, there are better ones. Picked up 5/25 because I wanted Uncle John's Band and all of those rarely played tunes on this one. This turned out to be probably in my top 3 from the tour (I really made a statement for you Sammy T on this show - I still think the UJB=>Wharf Rat=>Dark Star=>Sugar Magnolia is the best disc on the whole tour - ok top 3 discs, let's get real). After that, I think I just pretty much bought the ones with the least number of tracks on already released CDs (Europe '72 original, Steppin Out, Rockin' the Rhein, HYH), and anything with Uncle John's Band. 6/8/2014 Europe '72: Stakladen, Aarhus University, Denmark (4/16/1972) CD $32.56 6/22/2014 Europe '72: Tivoli Concert Hall, Copenhagen, Denmark (4/14/1972) CD $37.91 7/11/2014 Europe '72: Strand Lyceum, London, England (5/25/1972) CD $37.91 7/19/2014 Europe '72: Musikhalle, Hamburg, West Germany (4/29/1972) CD $32.56 7/21/2014 Europe '72: L'Olympia, Paris, France (5/4/1972) CD $37.91 7/21/2014 Europe '72: Kongressaal, Munich, West Germany (5/18/1972) CD $32.56 7/26/2014 Europe '72: Grote Zaal, Rotterdam, Holland (5/11/1972) CD $36.87 7/26/2014 Europe '72: Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, Holland (5/10/1972) CD $36.87 8/4/2014 Europe '72: Tivoli Concert Hall, Copenhagen, Denmark (4/17/1972) CD $32.56 8/4/2014 Europe '72: L'Olympia, Paris, France (5/3/1972) CD $37.91 8/17/2014 Europe '72: Strand Lyceum, London, England (5/23/1972) CD $32.56 8/17/2014 Europe '72: Jahrhundert Frankfurt, West Germany (4/26/1972) CD $37.91 9/5/2014 Europe '72: Rheinhalle, Dusseldorf, West Germany (4/24/1972) CD $37.91 9/5/2014 Europe '72: Wembley Empire Pool, London, England (4/8/1972) CD $32.56 9/5/2014 Europe '72: Strand Lyceum, London, England (5/26/1972) CD $37.91 9/22/2014 Europe '72: City Hall, Newcastle, England (4/11/1972) CD $32.56 9/25/2014 Europe '72: Studio du Grand Theatre Luxembourg,(5/16/1972) CD $26.14 10/2/2014 Europe '72: Strand Lyceum, London, England (5/24/1972) CD $30.33 10/2/2014 Europe '72: L'Esplanade de Lille, Lille, France (5/13/1972) CD $30.33 10/3/2014 Europe '72: Wembley Empire Pool, London, England (4/7/1972) CD $32.56 10/6/2014 Europe '72: Wigan, England (5/7/1972) CD $37.91 11/10/2014 Europe '72: Beat Club, Bremen, West Germany (4/21/1972) CD $19.72 total $744.02

    Damn good counter points
    You guys bring up some insightful points..... Particularly Jim when he says "the band members points should count." Tough to argue.... Also palmers point about the drum situatuion with Mickey.... Several months ago somebody broke that down pretty in depth, (morgus) I believe?? I think someone stated that the reintroduction of hart meant the death of Keith..... Perhaps that's really the truth of it? The 2 drummers really do change the sonic landscape.... I have to admit that moves beyond my musical understanding, but i guess your right, it is damn interesting!!! I guess I was coming from a little exhaustion of the 70s v 80s nonsense, which always seems to bring the whole Keith vs Brent bullshit..... I Enjoy everyone's passion and point of view....... Peace y'all.....

    Drummer Head Needed
    I agree with Keithfan, much prefer the one drummer from 71- to 74 over 76-95 with two; however, love the two drummer set-up pre 71'. The druumming pre-71' seemed to steady the cosmic ship and after 74, drumming took more of a lead role. Thoughts from someone more qualified than me on this subject?

    Beware Mr. Baker
    That was an awesome documentary. I am not sure a direct comparison between the two (baker vs. moon) is all that relevant, they had different styles. What's amazing to me is that Ginger Baker is still alive? The guy is nuts, totally insane. If I had to pick Cream over the Who, there's no comparison for me either. I am solidly a Who guy.. If you haven't seen this, its not that long, take the time to watch it. I guarantee you will be entertained. Its hysterical.

    No, no, no, no, no. I was not merely regurgitating a quote from Wiki, Phil or Blair Jackson. What I wrote was: My comments about Keith being a "non-factor" were not as harsh as what Phil supposedly said, but my experience with listening to Dead shows is that what Keith played was just not that noticeable anymore post-hiatus...especially in '77 and after. That is based on my EXPERIENCE as a Deadhead with hundreds of shows, the bulk of which are 70s shows. I love Keith's contributions to the 70s era, but I just do not notice much of anything he is doing during the post-hiatus years. It's not some horrible criticism like "He sucked" or "He couldn't play," it's "he was not much of a factor." I notice Jerry (of course) and Bobby (who can avoid it?), Donna (much improved), and the drummers (hit or miss). But Keith? No, I never hear him scaling the heights he reached in '72-'73.

    I can't point to a single case of Keith emulating Jerry's guitar lines, and it seems I would have heard that by now if it happened with any frequency. I would like to hear one example if it exists. And all this BS about him resorting exclusively to "block chords"? Come on. Isn't that the exact opposite criticism? Anyone who says or repeats these things should listen again. And again. Personal problems aside, he remained vital until the end.

    You beat me to the punch
    Keithfan, I have to admit, I have not listened to much Cream through the years. I respect Clapton's talent as a muscian, but never got in to his sound. Much prefer the prime time years of The Stones, The Who, and Zep (okay I and II in particular). To all respect to Mr. Clapton, I can not imagine Baker holding a candle to Keith Moon. I can only assume Clapton has listened to Live at Leeds? Pure drumming magic. And yes, Moon's play deterioted the last few years of his life and maybe Baker was the overall better muscian. But as a pure druumer, I can not imagine Baker reached the rarified druuming artistry of Moon; or John B. for that matter. Sammy T

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!
