"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.)

Thanks Dave

I appreciate that very much. Side note: there are a few seats for John Prine and Jason Isbell for tomorrow night. Anybody have any feelings on them. I know Jason pretty well but John Prine is still Virgin territory for me. But wow, some seats are spensive.

rdevil and Dylan

Rdevil: I will update on Dylan and what I think for sure. Been reading and absorbing all that is being written. Love it, especially since this will all be a new experience to me. Been making notes, checking Amazon. Unfortunately, I think I am about to have yet another big music order for 2015. But hey, what else is there do do but music, coffee, Blueberry, and good beer on the weekends! That's the Spirit!

When will the box ship?

Who really knows, I don't have "inside information."My guess is the first week of October, starting on Monday the 5th. My early guess. My guess for the delay is related to the Europe 72 Steamer Trunk box. If you recall, many discs were sent out unpolished and it appeared that there were scratches on the playing surface and that each of the show disc sleeves were made with flimsy cardboard, a thinner grade that the Road Trips series cases. People seemed gypped and there were a lot of complaints, and Rhino had to send out a whole lot of new discs and sleeves. Or something like that. I was one of the lucky ones who had everything just exactly perfect on the Europe 72 box.

Dylan

Always happy to engage in debate or critical analysis of the man.. On that note, he largely has been playing the same setlist since 2013 with minor tweaks along the way. Admittedly has taken a lot of the fun out of watching the setlists, which was like religion before that. But still great shows. His Fall tour started in Oslo today and benefiting from the time difference, he's already done. That's the only good thing about him touring on a different continent! So he started working some songs into Shadows In The Night first last Fall briefly and then earlier this year a bit more. Tonight's definitely unusual in that it had 13 originals and 7 covers, including several (obscure) Sinatra covers that weren't even on SITN. They were both recorded at the time of those sessions, and there has been rumors of a Shadows vol. 2, but still, pretty random. Haha 1. Things Have Changed 2. She Belongs To Me 3. Beyond Here Lies Nothin' 4. The Night We Called It A Day 5. Duquesne Whistle 6. Why Try To Change Me 7. Pay In Blood 8. I'm A Fool To Want You 9. Tangled Up In Blue (intermission) 10. High Water (For Charley Patton) 11. Full Moon and Empty Arms 12. Early Roman Kings 13. Come Rain or Come Shine 14. Spirit On The Water 15. Scarlet Town 16. All Or Nothing At All 17. Long And Wasted Years 18. Autumn Leaves (encore) 19. Blowin' In The Wind 20. Love Sick

Dylan

IMO Dylans best work came from 64-67, with Blonde on Blonde being the peak/best. Chimes of Freedom really is a turning point, in my opinion everything after that song was gold. Just as many of the people in the 60s, Dylan went far out and then sorta lost it and had to come back to earth in order to make sense of what just happened. I found that after my own psychedelic experiences I wanted to strap myself to a tree with roots. Its crazy how many people I know personally that went through years of psychedelia only to become farmers haha, its like you either lose it and end up forever in space or you come WAY back down to earth. I never listened to bluegrass until after years of psychedelic music,so happy I now get to enjoy Grisman,Bill Keith,OAITW, Muleskinner etc. I now find psychedelia in almost all music. Dylan being ahead of everyone by atleast a year(64-67) was the first example of this with the great John Wesley Harding and Nashvile Skyline. Love Blood on the Tracks(Especially the NY versions) and Desire; and though I am not Christian I feel very moved by SlowTrain, Bob's vocals and raw emotion really come through atleast for me. I haven't listened to much of his 80s work, though Jokerman is alright by me. For the 90s I really enjoy World Gone Wrong the most, GarciaGrisman also did renditions of a couple of the tunes on there. Tempest and Shadows in the night feel like gifts to the world to me and I really enjoyed both. If I had to choose one album from Dylan to take with me, it would be Blonde on Blonde.

thanks Jim

Always seem to forget record store day as I have never really participated. I guess I will head down to our local freaky record shop on that day just to check in. I am sorry that I might ask this question next year.

To 30 Trips.. and Beyond....

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.

JimInMD Portland 6.24.73

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

30 Trips

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.

The look of 30 Trips

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

Whart Rats in Chicago

Does anyone know if the Wharf Rats will be meeting up for the shows in Chicago? Do they even still exist?

https://archive.org/details/gd1990-06-09.sbd.miller.tetzeli.fix-

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.

BOXZILLA PART DEUX!!!

so, while stuck in the quagmire of inventory (thee none-glamorous side of the wine biz, no doubt...) got me to dreamin' up an 'alternative' set of 30 shows, a wishlist of sorts, sure... ALTHOUGH I'M TOTALLY PSYCHED FOR THIS SET, lemme just put that out there, their choices are fantastic (this BadBoy contains thee EPIC 10.1.94!!!) anyway here's the list, have @ it: 12.1.66 10.22.67 1.17.68 8.3.69 11.8.70 4.8.71 10.18.72 2.15.73 5.19.74 3.23.75 (give it to everyone, it's only 1 disc!!!) 6.14.76 (think not in the vault) 5.9.77 (yea, yea, i know... not in the...) 7.7.78 (okay, okay... same as 76/77... a lad can dream...) 11.1.79 (in its entirety) GAINESVILLE, DUH!!! (11.29) 3.10.81 4.19.82 4.26.83 7.13.84 9.15.85 2.14.86 11.13.87 7.2.88 10.19.89 7.19.90 9.26.91 5.21.92 9.22.93 7.31.94 3.18.95 ♤

RE: Boxzilla part deux

I can get behind *any* release that includes 5/19/74 and 3/23/75. I'd lean towards 9/20/70 personally, but you'd have me with the Portland '74.

Just in time

Just in time for my road trip to Santa Clara came the JGB on Broadway series Act 01!Sometimes you get lucky.

Reminder

"Name That Tune" contest starts at 6 PM Pacific time today. Don't be late! (Don't be early, either)

re: Wharf Rats In Chicago

This is from the Wharf Rats forum on this site: http://www.dead.net/forum/wharfrats-meet-here#new look for the yellow balloons. Santa Clara: Where can I find the Wharf Rats at the show? The Wharf Rats will have a table near the Participation Row area, on the main concourse close to the Intel Gate A. Chicago.. Where can I find the Wharf Rats at the show? The Wharf Rats will have a table near the Participation Row area, in the South Courtyard inside the South Gates, near Gate 0.

On June 2nd...

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!!!!!!

Nexus

When a company has a physical presence in a state, it must collect sales tax (if that state has a sales tax).

what was everybody guess ?

the usual suspects ,, Feel Like A Stranger Hell in a Bucket, Jack Straw, The Music Never Stopped (probably it) lots of choices.. I went with *Truckin'... we will see 4.16.78 going right now, Scarlet Fire for the ages and killer from start to finish. Very juiced up compared to Columbus show a few nights later

My Guess...

FEEL LIKE A STRANGER "Gonna be long, long, crazy, crazy night!" Second guess (if allowed) would be THE MUSIC NEVER STOPPED.

Calling Dr Beechwood, Dr Beechwood, Calling Dr Shot, Dr Shot...

The Music Never Stopped was my guess...

Guess

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?

Hell in a Bucket 1st song played at Soldier Field by GD

along with the other Bobby tunes TMNS and Feel Like a Stranger would increase chances for either night.. Playing in the Band is my sleeper pick into Crazy Fingers.. And For Sure some point during the 3 nights,, The Weight will be played either as 2nd set opener or encore

Guesses

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. :-)

oh yeah...

...a lil birdy told me the Santa Clara soundcheck setlist from today's rehearsal & much like our beloved friend bolo24 about top secret GD releases, i've been sworn to secrecy...was hoping to share it with y'all... but the consequences could contain cataclysmic catastrophicness... definitely some surprises, for sure... ♤

and beyond...

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.

HCS

I was a bit late getting mine in, so I went with a wildcard: Here Comes Sunshine.

Re: and beyond

..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.

my 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.

Am I Too Late?

The Barbed Wire Whipping Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvPdI0USSPk

Show opener Sat. 6/27

The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)

My guess:

Victim or the Crime - to show they really mean business!

Quadruple opener guess, I'm psyched!

He Was A Friend Of Mine >Money Money > Shit Happens > They Love Each Other

Opener

Too easy - NFA

How could I be wrong?

At 6pm Pacific Standard Time, I guessed Playing in the Band. Just could not see it any other way. Sam T

potential openers

Hell in a Bucket > Shakedown Hell in a Bucket > Sugaree The Music Never Stopped -- i think this one is good for Trey Feel Like a Stranger Truckin' > Smokestack Lightning , this was my pick. Viola Lee Blues Dancin in the Streets EDIT: SAMTHARDMAN ,, i think you have excellent chances with PITB,, going into Crazy Fingers or UJB

yesterdaze topic 6.24.73

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?

Score!!!

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

KYTrips , that is a supaaaa score

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.

Score

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.

Re: Score

Score is right.. Winterland '73 is essential.

TheeAmazingAce333 ,, killer list ,, BOXZILLA PART DEUX!!!

I heard Dave joke around a few days ago on Sirius they already have ideas for the 60th anniversary kkkkkkk

heck yea,, that is a sweet deal

i would have pounced on that deal. even though i own 2 already EDIT: Winterland 1973 almost got me arrested a few years ago when I bought it.. I was jammin out and maybe light up a few extra doobies because it was so good and I guess a neighbor called the police on me.. ahhaaha

6/27 opening song contest update

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!

thanks for the update bolo24

what was your guess ?

FTW Box Sets

Audio/video sets for pre-order. For those of you hoping for that,there ya go!:-)

I disqualified myself from guessing

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.

Opening song(s)?

Jack Straw> Shakedown Street or vice versa!

Opener will be...

... Day Job. Keep your day job So you can pay For all the releases Comin' your way

Promised Land will be Opener

Promised Land - no doubt

Brokedown Palace

I'm thinking this will be the run ender on the 5th. Final song

Today's listening habit:

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.

My guess

Jam>Playing In The Band
