    "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.)

    Here Comes Sunshine?
    HCS? Dear Jerry . ... It works! My favorite HCS was done by Furthur (Saw GD many times). Futhur opened with HCS on a what was a gloomy, rainy, humid Summer evening at PNC Arts Center N.J.. PNC is an ampitheater built into the earth with a round cement top roof but with open air-sides. As already noted, it was a gray rainy day but just before Furthur took the stage the weather started clearing up and the sun was burning through the clouds from the west and shining down between the cement roof and built-into-ground amphitheater. It was moive-like perfetc. I think that they probably decided to open with an un-setlisted HCS due to the perfect setting. This was a very, very, enthusiastically loud crowd which prompted Phil to comment on on that enthusiasm. I recall Bob was said that the Philadelphia, N.J. through NYC-Long Island area as being Dead-Belt country where some of their largest followings could be found. That Furhtur show holds fond memories. I scored two front row tickets for that one from GDSTOO( Thank You.). God Bless Bobby. Heal, brother, heal.

    Wilfred, me too. I have been trying for hours to get that dust off my screen.. Damp cloth (nothing), Windex (a little better), sandpaper seems to be doing the trick though... Brokedown, yea.. I got a kick out of that too. I liked the his comments in general on songs they don't do anymore (Viola [wow, that would have been something] and others). Dantian got me to re-listen to the fragment of 6/10/73 w/ Eyes>Stella Blue, Big River and Here Comes Sunshine. I've listened to that show no fewer than a dozen times over the last decade or two. What a loose, jazzy, funball of a show that is and that segment shines. Fun and creative.

    Thanks JiminMD..........again
    Very cool.... Is there anything more fun than listening, watching a jerry Garcia interview??? Does anyone get the feeling that although he would NEVER say it, jerry always kinda knew he was magnetic? And usually the most intelligent person in the room..... I think so..... And I think he enjoyed it..... Love that guy..... Hey Jim, how funny that Garcia thought they only played HCS a "couple of times?" And that he said it didn't really work.....wtf?? Hilarious.....

    Re: Dantian/Kreutzmann
    Spoiler Alert - I wont say much for people reading the book.. but to answer your question.. He was talking about playing with the Allman Bros. He talked about Watkins Glenn (Great sound check, but the main show was not their best). Then he spoke fondly of 6/9/73 and 6/10/73 as a sort of redemption for that. He said they were playing well, played a bunch of their newer material that he was fond of in a way made up for the main Watkins Glenn show. Apparently somewhat of a rivalry existed. They were good shows, were talking about them 42 years later after all. Thanks for bringing that up. Made me re-listen.

    Bring on the seaside chats
    We've got 30 shows and roughly 16 weeks of reveals. I'd like to hear a show by show chat about the merits of these shows from the vault master!!! Like my idea of the chats from upcoming secure locations, but rather have the wind than no video at all... Can't wait for the HCS from the 1973 offering. Glad to see it got promoted to the 4cd release... Great hook for someone tasting live Grateful Dead for the first time... Thanks for the link to the vhs recording of the interview, will watch it tonight... Love the spacey background...

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!
