    "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.)

    I think this release is amazing. Really some great choices and shows I wouldn't have expected. That's Dave always keeping us on our toes ( or is it his toes?). I do understand that the price is "large" for frankly everyone. It's alot of scratch, no doubt. But if I calculate the amount of music I buy quarterly, it becomes a non factor almost. I think it's the large chunk of cash all at once that is unnerving. I would guess that eventually they will be individually released via iTunes. They can't ignore that revenue stream forever. Just like Europe 72, and Road Trips. They did put these up. So, hang in there folks. I would have to say, for me, the shows in the 1970-1979 look mighty rad in my opinion. I love 73 and 74 and look forward to these. I also think the early shows from the 60's will offer me further insight into that era and growth as a band. The 80's shows I'm anxious to hear more of because I don't have a lot and some of yinz on here claim they have much to offer. Finally, I'm curious what the 90's shows have in terms of band dynamics with Brent gone, new members, and Jerry "changing"...... Basically, I'm saying it's got it all for me and I thank Dave and Rhino and all involved for this. Can't wait. Remember, It all comes back, so be kind.

    Pigpen's speech on 5/15/70

To people wondering about the path of > Pigpen from Frontman to Sideman in the band, this speech is > important data! This is on the non-GDM, circulating version of 5/15/70? Where? I just went and built a composite version from Road Trips V3#3 + SHNID: 29473 and I didn't hear any Pigpen speech. Is it from an old cassette? I did find a few jokes and banter removed (plus a Candyman in the late set), but the GDM version did give us a Deep Elem and an uncut St Stephen. It seems like there is another spot where they were able to fix a tape flip, too. They did move some chatter around a bit, and it is annoying that it's reordered, but man, what a release. I'm glad it's out, however we can get it.

    A great show, but one that would greatly benefit from being released with 12/14 in a single package. Still, I would be more likely to buy this box if 12/12/90 replaced 10/27/90!

    While this is a huge, cool, wow filled, massive load of music, I still am passing.I am hoping sets like Winterland 73/77 will come back in favour. Those are the perfect size I think because I can just grab that box and have more than a weekend of tunes to play on the run. Yes I have an iPod with a gazillion songs on it too, but I much prefer the discs spinning. Anyway............... Who cares right? Enjoy the Weekend.

    For anyone who *hates* Brent, listen to this one again, and the crazy off the hook 42 minute hidden Scarlet Fire. Maybe the trippiest Scarlet ever, thank you Mr. Mydland.

    Okay. So i'm not going to bash this project on any level. But really the 1990 and 1992 selections are weak. Zenith, Paris ,10/27/1990? Looks WAY better as a setlist than the actual performance quality. There were MUCH stronger shows played in the second half of 1990. The first half of the year was pivotal playing from a strong band of eleven years. Equally impressive was the comeback and continued stamina after the untimely passing of Brent Mydland. So they already released material from the September MSG run. Clearly the choice for 1990 is December 12th McNichols. The second set is masterful and very Jerry led. Madison Square Garden 9/10/1991 Is one of the finest live performances by the later Grateful Dead. Certainly their deepest exploration with tenor sax collaborator Branford Marsalis. All the better with the depth that Bruce Hornsby's grand piano was bringing to the Dead's sound, Branford really cliqued well at this gig. For all the hype that the 1990 Nassau show gets deservingly, this show is perhaps their best collaborative performance. THIS DESERVES ITS OWN RELEASE. BIG TIME. Copps Coliseum 3/20/1992? You didn't have a bunch of outstanding shows to choose from considering the Oakland December material was partially released already, but really? this dinky show? So they broke out a lackluster Dark Star... notable. Clearly the choice should have been either May 30th or 31st, Sam Boyd Silver Bowl, Las Vegas. Both OUTSTANDING shows for any era of Dead. Leads me to believe the masters might be missing on these ones. Thanks for the efforts of all involved. I'll pass on the 700$ box set and listen to my quality bootleged masters.

    I fully concur, I don't want anything eliminated and tracks in the correct running order. Tunings and banter are as much a part of the experience as the songs themselves.

    Save your gas money. You can get it at Amazon for a few bucks over the regular price. Better then driving all over town. I did that to, found some at the grocery store. Ebay has some listed too. I think it will display until July 16, so you still have some time. Good luck. Peace

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!
