    "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.)

    Best moments
    NW Scarlet, you ask for fave songs or jams so far? I'm listening in order, only up through the first two discs of 1972 (I don't want to tackle that disc three Dark Star until I can give it my full attention). Keep in mind I'm tempted to say "the whole show" for most of these. But here are the moments that instantly leaped to mind, without looking back at the setlists: 1967: Viola Lee Blues 1970: Candyman, Hard to Handle, Cumberland, and that unhinged Santana Jam in the Other One 1971: The Rub, the jam out of Wharf Rat 1972: FOTD (My new favorite version, fast or slow) Shows like 67, 71 and 72 are best for consistent greatness so far, but 70 has the standout peak moments for me. Let me just add, I was in a rather smokey happy frame of mind the other night when I listened to 1970, and that Hard to Handle was my biggest surprise. Short version, nothing special "on paper" but WOW, stoner rock at it's best. Jerry's doing some trippy little blurps throughout, I can't explain it, it just hit me the way a Zeppelin tune used to - every little filigree and kuchunk was just right, almost like it was "produced" that way. I will re-listen soon to make sure it wasn't just my enhanced frame of mind, but I think not.

    I'm only about half way through, with some choice years ahead, but nothing yet matches the 73 China->Rider, 91 Shakedown not far behind. What say you regarding specific jam or song, not entire year?

    Thanks for the Dark Star pairings list. 9/27/72 is not only one of my favorite Dark Stars, but that transition into Cumberland is so perfect, and perfectly absurd, it makes me laugh and shake my head every time. Grateful Dead at its finest.I'd always thought this show was the final vintage Attics (first in two years, as well), but someone mentioned one from October '72...? Speaking of October.... Happy Hallowe'en, everyone! And a torrential one it is in Portland....loving it myself, but the poor kids.... October 27th, 1979 ~ five songs into this one, my only thought was, "I sure hope this gets better...!" Very perfunctory beginning, to my ears, and the worst Big River I've ever heard. Very disappointing considering the monster version on the monster Dick's 5 from two months later (a five-star show for sure ~ hottest Alabama Getaway ever). Unlike David, I never had this tape, but I knew there must be a reason he chose it. Sure enough, the first set picks up with Easy to Love You and catches fire with Minglewood (though Jerry isn't putting his finale solo in yet ~ that's okay, he gets his licks in overtop the last verse). Stagger Lee's a little lyrically challenged, but very sweet outro jam, and the boys have indeed entered the sweet zone for the duration. For all its length, Dancin' isn't terribly dynamic on first listen. Steady groove, though, and Jerry's in lightning-fast-lead mode all night, in fact. Similar story with Franklin's, until the "you plant ice, you gonna harvest wind" verse, and then this version really soars to another level. The last jam quiets to a whisper, surely they're ending it, right?, and then it whips back up into another glorious round of musical mirth. That GoGD magic can always strike at any time, and it really does with this Franklin's. From there, through Drums and beyond, they're in the zone. Caution jam, though Phil doesn't really hit the classic ascending/descending riff, is inspired fun, Jerry & the drummers are all over it, and then a really intense Other One. Heads must've loved Brent putting the organ back into this song after all those years (though he'd switched to piano by the time I was seeing shows). His organ really simmers on the long, slow Not Fade Away out of Drums. On a lesser night, this tempo might drag, but here it's snaky and funky, the last few minutes hitting some particularly tasty interplay..I dare observe Bob's slide here is as creative an element as any other. When he's using it in a supporting role, it can be really cool (Wharf Rat & Black Muddy River come to mind). Black Peter's "See here how everything chorus" is perfect, and Brent's organ on this tune shimmers and really nails the color of the mood. Have to say, when the piano solo began on Round 'n Round, I spaced for a moment and thought, "wow, Keith's hot tonight" and then remembered it was Brent! Sorry, but Keith's solos in later years didn't always deliver the goods. Then he switches to organ on a dime, and when the tempo kicks into double-time, he's just smoking, along with Jerry and everyone else. Really great night for the drummers. In conclusion, very cool show. As Dave puts it in the liner notes: "when they did hit their stride--they really hit it!" Gosh, where to next with this box of shows? An ear issue and other circumstances have limited me to only three so far (not counting the '84 Dew I couldn't resist streaming)......but it's a rainy Saturday, and I'm ready for the next one..... 77? 67? 84?

    Another great Cumberland!
    On the 73 show now and every Cumberland in this box has been excellent! One of my all time Dead favorites! This show starts a little "slow" then picks up steam. The second set is killer! Took a chronological break and listened to some of the 82 show to see what all the "hubub" is about the sound. I think it sounds OK. Listened to it on my PC and home stereo and while its not as "full" sounding as the others it sounds OK to me. It is a very good show and thats why Dave wanted us to have it I guess! Waiting for DaP 16 and hopefully 30 Days will start tomorrow! Take care folks and Happy Halloween!!!

    ....Riverbend '85. First set starts off pretty rough. Alabama, GSET and TLEO are pretty forgettable. Especially TLEO. Sad and humorous at the same time. Jerry was totally lost. The Persian reared it's ugly head. I counted three false endings. Picks up during Minglewood. Jerry woke up and nails Tennessee Jed. Esau is wonderful. Healy effects introduce Loser. Again, Jerry was spot on. Let It Grow ends the set on a high, high note.... Second set soon. Remembering loving that set on my old Maxell II tape. Can't wait. As I recall, a fierce storm rolled through during Smokestack. Rolling thunder was heard on my old tape. Wonder if it comes through on this release.... ....Happy Halloween friends....I stocked up on Reeses and Butterfingers. My family's favorites in case we have extra left over....

That didn't take long!I would think that if you're asking folks to commit to spending over 700 bucks for a massive box set, you'd give them the shows that are included from the moment that you announced it. It's a no-brainer. It feels like Rhino and Dead Central are always playing catch-up, in regard to all things Grateful Dead. "We'll release the entire Europe '72 tour. There might be enough interest to sell 7,200 copies." And now they are only making 7,500 copies of this set available, for the 50 anniversary of the band? Did they notice that they sold about 300,000 tickets to the Fare Thee Well shows? It boggles the mind....

I would love to get this box set, but I'm not sure I can afford it. Really wish they would sell the individual shows. Who knows, it might come to that? At least offer a download too. I don't understand why everything has to be limited now. Tempted to list my entire Dave's Picks collection, plus bonus discs to rally the cash. I never listen to them anyway, which makes me think that I'll probably listen to most of these shows once or twice and then they'll be on the shelf collecting dust. It's funny, the shows I want the most are the 1992, 1993 and 1994 ones. Regardless, the set is going to be epic!!!

1. Backordered is normal designation for pre-order of box sets that will not ship for a few months. 2. FTW ticket sales have zero relationship to demand and purchase of a box set priced this high. By that same logic E72 should have sold 50,000 copies, which it never would. Some people place higher premium on live music experience than collecting recorded archival stuff. Some the opposite. There is no correlation between the two. Prior box sets is the relevant sales control data. They know what they are doing here, even if the technology failed for a few hours today (small price to pay frankly) 3. Don't think for a minute 6500 is 6500. You know damned well that if this box sells out quickly there will be another couple thousand copies, or single shows. And then there is always the downloads. 4. There is no 4.

If you would like to go back to a time when you didn't know this set existed, turn to page 108. If you would like to suddenly have $699.95 deposited in your bank account, turn to page 190.

That's the way we spell "SUCCESS!!" Gave up on my three-hour "processing" message when I saw the messages here, and my subsequent attempt went straight through! Closed the processing window. Never did get the e-mail I was promised--the one where customer service would tell me to try again. Here's the best part--I had to call my wife for her Discover number, since my credit card is expiring between now and the release--GD system said "no!" I told her how much it was going to be before she got her confirmation e-mail (I did it all under her name so as not to screw things up). She was quite surprised, but told me that her momentary questioning of the sanity of the whole thing should not diminish my excitement. This thing is going to ROCK!! Thank you, everyone who played a part in this.

"3. Don't think for a minute 6500 is 6500. You know damned well that if this box sells out quickly there will be another couple thousand copies, or single shows. And then there is always the downloads." DJMac520 - If they do as you say, then Rhino and GD.net are just lying to us all. They've said that they will not sell individual shows. Is that a blatant falsehood as well? Do we take them at their word, or not? I can't recall what they said about the Europe '72 shows. Anybody remember?

I ordered the set and just get a loop of "your order is being processed, please wait"....call customer service and they say, "Just hang on. Itstaking an hour or so to get your order to complete." It's now 3+ hours, I just want to place an order and I can't even do that. I'm not complaining about the cost, I got the email from dead.net today at 2PM Eastern time. I went on line and tried to place an order. I'm a fan of this band, I'm not here to point fingers at who is greedy, and making "all the money", I just want the music. I have to believe that they would want me to be able to buy the music. But after 3 1/2 hours of my order being locked in processing, I get the feeling that there will be no box in my future. Another call to customer service and I'm treated like a fool for waiting. I didn't bitch when I couldn't get the '69 set. I figured I have to be more diligent. I try to stay on top of everything I need to so I have a shot at what's new and happening. But when the customer service folks act like they were trained by security at the Providence Civic Center, "I guess it doesn't matter anyway."

Another happy ending here... I think!Placed original order over 2 hrs. ago. After reading the advice on this site, I decided to try again. Received a confirmation notice right away. I hope everyone who wants one of these things is able to get it here. My advise to any that still can't get through right away would be not to panic and try to score a box on eBay, or somewhere like that. It seems that there are quite a few folks on here now that may end up with an additional box (or two) due to the ordering problems. My guess is that these orders will be cancelled, returning a bunch of boxes back to the pool. Thanks to those who posted letting us know that the system was working again. Now to work on the plan to explain this purchase to the lady of the house. Peace

WTF !! Still in processing. And Customer service is practically helpless and clueless. waited 6 months you would think that all systems would be ready after having practically nothing noteworthy for sale for 6 months. And to send out an email to probably over a million people, when there call center is equipped for probably a que of twenty. Poor form. Should have let it sell on the site for at least 36 hours and then send out mass communication to every person with an interest in the music or the folks who prey on these sets to make a buck. I think somebody mentioned it earlier. Some of the calls they are making from all aspects seem goofy. Maybe it's time to close my processing order and see if a new browser can get a confirmation ? Against the recommendation of multiple CS agents and their Supervisor. Seems to have worked for a few others. I am using a debit card, so a second attempt will leave me with no funds until CS would be able to unblock the auth holds, which I do not hold too much faith in having them do that. I would suppose they would tell me to contact my bank if I overdraft, which is actually the response I would expect after the Supervisor told me his shift was ending soon, so he had to go. How convenient because my shift is ending too and I have an order that been processing for 3 hours. Was on the phone for for 2 hours before that and multiple agents. But it's ok guys because he offered me free shipping on an item that has free shipping for pre-orders.

Like so many others my first attempt at ordering never finished processing.I just tried again and it went right through and I got a confirmation email. I then closed the window that was still processing. I'll just wait and see if I get a second email confirmation but figure I can always cancel a duplicate.

I had to pay $62 for shipping on the USB set. Seems kind of high but heck, not going to buy something like this very often. I had two runs at purchase this afternoon and both ended with a "processing" time of 10 minutes or so and then a "Temp unavailable" white screen. I come home, get on my CC site and sure enough, two charges are there but I have to confirming email or anything. Just got off the phone with CS and he said that the system was malfunctioning this afternoon and that I did not get my order through. The charges will drop off after a couple days as they are only "authorizations". Better be so.

I guess being a UK resident, with a wife, teenager, three cats and two goldfish to support, Santa Clara and Chicago were always out of the question. Difficult enough to get my wife to go to the local cinema for the local simulcast of the final show! So bloody expensive or not, the pay off is the box set, so order made, and now the wait. So, getting back to the simulcast, and in the unlikely event of somebody else from Lowestoft, Suffolk, United Kingdom reading this, PM me, so at least I might be able to see that last show with a fellow traveller!!

Dang it !! that was damn near exhuasting. Closed the page, which I knew would work, but since CS was very adamant about not doing so, I took their advice. And what bad advice it was. Opened another page and it took the order within about 10 seconds. All while, I write this post my other processing page is still hoping to catch a break and get the job done. After all it did take $755. i transferred some funds to make the second order happen, I just hope tomorrow morning the lady at the bank, which is always commenting on my Grateful Dead t-shirts can sort this out. She even said she was gonna bring in her GD shirt just to prove she was a fan. It will be just me luck if tomorrow is the day she brought it with her.
