    "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 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.)

    Who to Contact For Replacement Discs
    I need to get some replacement discs for my 30 Trips Box. I have already tried emailing Dr. Rhino and have yet to receive a reply after one week. I also tried calling into dead.net customer service and the line has been busy for over 1 hour now. Is there anyone else that I can contact? Thanks in advance for any help. UPDATE: Finally got through to customer service and they have placed the request for my replacement discs.

    The Attack of "Viola Lee Blues
    I'll admit I don't think I've ever met a Viola Lee I didn't like, but this show has always been a favorite. The box version is as good as I have ever heard it, even though it has circulated for years as "the Amazing Electric Wonders" shows. Here's the show from the next night, which is still in the Vault. https://archive.org/details/gd1967-11-11.116369.sbd.motb-0173.flac24 Don't let the quality spoil you though, you won't get another mutlitrack until the 1989 Trip. This is a great set, but the 1981 choice still puzzles me with that 30 minute AUD patch to finish the show. This, to me, was the first filler show for the box and they must be saving the complete 1981 stuff for another release.

    Another Slow, but Steady Assault
    I am just cracking into the first set of 1981. I am enjoying the 80's tremendously so far. I have to say the best thing so far in the box was '67.. I agree, KYTrips, what a show and what a recording. It ranks right up there with Two From the Vault in all time, gooey raw goodness. I love the embryonic That's It For The Other One, but the whole thing smokes. '68 and '69 delivered, but there's a rarity about a good 1970 show that gives me goosebumps when I hear a new one I have not listened to yet. Yes.. the early shows were the highlights for me, but the whole thing is very well done. Well, tearing into the second half of the box. What fun.

    1967 (or The Attack of "Viola Lee Blues")
    Right out of the gate this show smokes! It is readily apparent that this is a completely different animal than the 1966 Trip, and that this band has grown immeasurably in 16 months. Mickey is now in the fold, and the sound of the band is completely different. It's pretty rare for a show opener to be the best song of the show, but "Viola Lee Blues" is THAT good here. Jerry is on fire right from the start. Without a doubt, the best VLB I've heard. "It Hurts Me Too" and "Beat It On Down The Line" are both solid, but nothing extraordinary. However, BIODTL does confirm that since the 1966 Trip, Bobby has learned to become a singer, rather than a shouter. "Morning Dew" is excellent, and one of the better early versions I've heard of it. I always preferred the later versions of "Morning Dew", after they'd slowed down it's tempo considerably, but this one definitely holds its own. The first CD closes with a solid performance of "Good Morning Little School Girl" with Pig in all his glory. The second disc is a jamming tour de force... starting with a really good "That's It For The Other One", including some lyrics that obviously were altered later on by the Dead. I've never been a big fan of "New Potato Caboose" but this version makes you appreciate the song for what it is... a great jamming vehicle. The show closes with a stellar version of "Alligator" and then a perpetual "Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks)" which I didn't think would ever end (and I mean that in a good way). While I thought the 1966 show was really good for a band at the beginning of their career, this show is better by leaps and bounds in my humble opinion. If I were Robert Christgau of the Village Voice, I would rate this show an "A" with hints of an "A+".

    ...with your restraint! Taking it low and slow just like the 'ole crock pot. Good for you, giving them all their due. Mad respect. That theory sounded excellent to me, and what did I do upon receipt? ....jumped straight to '72, '73, '91. I share your AWE as well with the '67 Viola. Actually now that I think about it, THAT was the first song I put on when I got the box, as I knew it was one of the multi-track shows and just wanted a little taste. My jaw dropped, and I've been emitting a little drool out the side of my mouth ever since, every time at it's mention. Sixtus

    Delayed listening
    DaveStrang... No. I will back-burner the new box set (which I've already ordered) until I make it all the way thru the big box. I vowed to myself that when I started the big box, I wouldn't co-mingle other Dead while working through the box. Before I start the new box, I'll still have DaP 17, DaP 18 and possibly DaP 19 to catch-up on as well as some recently acquired Jerry solo stuff. It truly is a good problem to have!

    Glad you were finally able to dive into the largest box set ever produced. I'm sure there will be many highlights for you. I could tell you some of mine but there's no need for that. I was surprised how good the 90's shows sounded. With the new box set coming out, will this further delay your listening?

    Finally.... 1966!
    So... almost 6 months after Boxzilla landed on my front porch, I've finally gotten around to listening to the first two shows of this embarrassment of riches. I've been so backlogged with other music and other GD releases that I've acquired in the last year, that I just kept avoiding diving into this thing. It's a nice problem to have, I know. Here are my takeaways on the 1966 show after two listens... First... the sound is terrific (in my opinion) for a live recording from 1966. The mix could have been a little more even-handed. I think Pig's organ is WAY up in the mix, so much so that it drowns out/overshadows some of Jerry's better guitar work in this show. The overall show is definitely raw, but in a good way. They certainly sound like a band that was going places (hindsight obviously being 20/20 and all). The crowd applause between songs makes it sound like there were maybe 50 or so people there. Oh... if only I had a Delorean with a flux-capacitor! Highlights for me are: Viola Lee Blues, Tastebud, Cream Puff War, Gangster of Love and In the Midnight Hour, with Gangster of Love being my favorite song in the show. I thought Viola Lee Blues sounded fantastic until I listened to it as the opener of the 1967 trip.... DAMN!!! Negatives: Cardboard Cowboy might be, IMHO, the worst song that the Dead were ever affiliated with. I can certainly understand why it was abandoned early on. Overall, for a band that had been "together" for less than a year, and that still hadn't released any studio work, I think it sounds great. This show definitely put me in the mood to keep on listening.

    I assumed they were all two-track. Would love to know what else they have in the vault that are from multi-track sources. All I'm aware of are Feb Port Chester '71, April Fillmore East '71, Oct Winterland '74, and recently in his Seaside Chat, DL mentioned something from '76.

Alright, I admit it.. this was the right box concept for 2015 and the 50th anniversary. I really do feel compassion for the people that were priced out.. but its a cool idea and likely the right concept. But going into the announcement, I was really digging all the hype and speculation. A Pig Box (hog fest), one show for each year, Fall '73, etc. I was holding out hope for '73 myself. With all the recent talk of '73 and '74, definitive versions of Eyes of the World, a pop-up Wall of Sound Box, complete w/ a WOS Fathead, people building home WOS lego's.. I am already looking forward to 2016. (its also going to take me that long to give Boxzilla a worthy listen). Today in GD History on SiriusXM radio, they played the better part of the second set from 6/24/73. The Dark Star>Eyes>China Doll was sublime, especially the pre-verse jamming on DS. What a great show, and on the heels of UCSB, PNE Coliseum and RFK no less. It re-invigorated the hype center in my brain for a 'classic' box set. So here are some concept ideas that would send my hype center into overdrive. Similar ideas are welcome - if nothing else, it gives us all something to check out while waiting until September. I got on a nice '69 Ark tangent the last time this subject came up. - '72 Berkeley Community Theatre (4 show run). - '72 Fox Theatre, St. Louis (4 show run). - Summer '73 (many options here). - Fall '73 (again, many options, note: Dantian gets my vote as the goodwill ambassador for 12/18/73 if/when it gets released). - WOS Popup/foldout Box (many options). - Ark '69 (3 show run). - '72 Blue Ray/DVD (4/17 and Beat Club). - WBOTB Box. Sorry for focusing on the older years, didn't mean to offend any '80's folks. I'm a big fan of the era.

I heard this AM also. That Eyes of the World was sublime and the sound quality during Eyes was killer. I will go for round 2 tonight on Sirius, but may cut it short at 7.30 for the Copa America quarterfinal match. Those are great box choices,, how about a Bill Graham box that features many of the venues the Dead played Thanks to Bill Graham? Throw in some blotter art fully dosed and I may trade my nephew for it. He is now currently a deadhead in training after my niece showed him the headphones this morning. I am also down with all and every Fillmore East/West show to be released. - a box of tapes by Owsley Stanley - Betty box,, and so on of all the hired help And Release every.. *Mountains of The Moon *Mission In the Rain *If I Had The World To Give *One Kind Favor Any word on 7.14.70 Acoustic/Electric and 7.16.70 ?? some sweet stuff, some sound tweaks. Classic stuff with the Dead, Bear, and a little Janis EDIT: such a sweet tune... How Long Blues - part of the Blues Trifecta How Long Blues Deep Elem Blues Cumberland Blues 1970 x-factor supreme year for the GD

I check In daily to read the news on peoples views etc.. on this box set and i love it. For me yes it's a lot of cash and after having warned my other half of a box release this year of which was a must have without knowing what was around the corner ? her reaction was hesitant......then i told her about 30 Trips and for how much.........and to be granted the purchase was a relief whew! So i understand the hardships of many. But i honestly think i would've got it anyhow, due to the simple awsomness of it. I can't wait until Sept :) logs about the 80's ~ i love it!, love Brent too 'Dear Mr Fantacy' i remember Domings Hills was epic, great show, parking lot was a dust bowl. I love the Grateful Dead! so many roads. JGB too, Squaw Valley, ahh the memories, peace. This Box is a must and looking forward to seeing what it looks like, and also hope they're individually In their own Dave's Pick's format with art work for each.

I contacted Dave to ask him if we could expect a video of what this puppy is going to look like. This is what they did with Spring '90. After all, he had said it is gorgeous. He told me that he thought we all could expect a video soon. I can't wait! Rock on

You should look for the unfixed version of this Miller seed and avoid any "Tetzelli fixes" as they are known inferior versions of the original recordings he tried to fix. His big fix was to make the 2nd set seamless, something Charlie picked up on and implemented to avoid these unneeded fixes. The problem was Bill didn't know how to use the mastering software he used to make the fixes and due to improper setup of the software, most of his fixes added issues not on the original Miller seeds. Bill just wanted to take credit for other peoples seeds, usually Charlie's early seeds and his GD fixes should be avoided. This has nothing to say about his Tetezelli seeds of his recordings, but his "GD fixes" are not fixes at all they are downgrades , every single one of them.

When this box set was first announced it was not looking good for me to be able to purchase this stellar collection, due to the landing of a side job painting, I was able to preorder 5 minutes ago, needless to say I'm overjoyed at being able to purchase one BEFORE it sells out, however I do have one concern, why am I being charged $58.80 PA Sales Tax on an item not purchased in PA? I take it WE all had to pay the appropriate sales tax for our respective states of residency all I want to know is why? Now what about an "official" announcement regarding DeadBase 50!!!! A VERY HAPPY WEDNESDAY indeed, DEADLAND!!!!!!

No love for What's Become of the Baby? Rosemary?? ok Born Cross Eyed is my third and final guess. I do get the feeling just by the way this came up that its not going to be one of the familiar few openers.. better to be whimsical and guess for the pure enjoyment of how much fun it would be if you actually got it right. Edit: ok, I guessed Bertha (redacted), Promised Land (scratch that) Half Step (fuck-it) Back to Rosemary (just kidding). Heavens door? Perhaps Ship of Fools is the most fitting.. but they wouldn't open with that, would they?

I was going to go with "Might As Well" but changed my mind because a) it would be weird to have the wrong guy singing, and b) it's really a JGB tune. Then I thought "Money, Money" but that would be too honest. ;-) They did that instrumental "He's Gone" to open the first Alpine Valley reunion show in '02 or so, which was very cool, but I figured they wouldn't pull that out again. "Let The Good Times Roll" is a possibility. "The Music Never Stopped" is also. But I went with "Feel Like A Stranger" which a few others have commented on. Fortunately, I got mine in at 6:00:01 PST, so I will start clearing space on my office wall. :-)

Just to chime in on Jim's earlier topic about box releases beyond 30 Trips, I really hope they give our wallets (a bit of) a break next year and go back to a three to five show box like the Winterland and Spring 77 boxes. Fall '73 is always at the top of my wish list but I really like Luis' idea from a few weeks back--a May '74 box. I suppose it wasn't really representative for the 50th but it's a great idea and Dave has said 5-19 will be probably be released at some point.

..I love Luis like the half brother I never met (but reserve the right when I go to Spain next year).. but I'm with you man, with one caveat. If its a '74 box, even a mini-box.. mhammond should design the box or at least get the street cred. The pop-up, fold out, open the box and the Wall of Sound pops up in 3-d Box is an off the top, out of the box idea, and I'm all in. So what if it barely breaks even. and I'm with you on the small box for 2016.. and beyond. These box sets are pushing back my retirement date (not that I'm complaining). ..and this old man is getting old. ..Luis.. are you out there? Edit: claney. Great guess.

I was late sending my guess also so went with Sugar Magnolia in the hopes they might open with that and close the show (or set or run) with SSDD. Like the Bill Graham shows in '91.

I too heard David L play the big jam on sirius xm on wednesday. One saving grace of the beautiful box i cant afford is that it does not include 2.15.73 or 6.24.73 so we still gotta shot. (Though the '74 Dijon UJB is worth at least $150). Every SBD of the Portland show that I've heard has a little cut in Eyes and a nasty one in the KYRider from set 1. I wonder if that's what has kept it from official release. Has anybody heard a board tape that doesn't have those jarring remnants of reality?

I just nabbed the 1973 Winterland box set on Ebay for $52.00 (shipping included)!! I'd say that's a pretty sweet deal.

great find, was that the final bid or a buy it now ?? the W73 bonus disc alone went for about $130 in a recent auction,, if somebody bought extras of a few binus discs then it would easily pay a hefty portion of the 30 Trips box if the right buyer is located.

It was a Buy It Now for $49.99 + $2.00 shipping. It's in great shape, but it doesn't include the bonus disc. But I still consider it to be a solid score.

So far, 53 entries, 23 different songs. 15 people entered right at 6:00 PM (9 different songs). The order in which the entries appear in my inbox determines who was first, second, etc. The winner may still be out there if the guys open with something really unexpected. Only 2 days 'til showtime - cheers!

But, if I had my way, they'd open with a rip-roaring, up-tempo St. Stephen/The Eleven for about 17 minutes, then take a couple minute break to allow folks to pick their faces up off the floor.

Since there's no 1974 Grateful Dead today, I thought I'd listen to a thing of the normal variety - save a couple at the end: Original Dixieland Jazz Band 6/25/18 King Oliver 6/25/23 Early Ellington 6/25/28 Roy Eldridge "Little Jazz" 6/25/35 Modern Jazz Quartet "Django" 6/25/53 Clifford Brown "The Beginning of the End" 6/25/56 Thelonious Monk "Monk's Music" 6/25/57 Dave Brubeck "Time Out" 6/25/59 Tina Brooks "True Blue" 6/25/60 Bill Evans "Village Vanguard" 6/25/61 Wes Montgomery "Full House" 6/25/62 Andrew Hill "Andrew!" 6/25/64 Lee Morgan "The Gigolo" 6/25/65 Wynton Kelly "Blues On Purpose" 6/25/65 Led zeppelin "How the West Was Won" 6/25/72 Grateful Dead Eugene 6/25/78 Todo Bien.
