"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.)

KYTrips, Dantian, Wissinoming

KYTrips, that is a moving story - sounds like your priorities are just right. I was actually with my father in Florida staying with my grandmother for a week, painting her house. She broke the news to me - she was a gentle southern woman with a soft Georgia accent, basically conservative. But she said, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I know what that man meant to you." Wissinoming, as Dantian confirms, 5/4/77 holds a special place for me too. Dantian, wow man, it makes my day that you remember that. Yeay! Think now that my wife is in bed, I may just need to pull out that and give it a spin...(or look for a better version on the archive!)

The Conversation & 9/26/81

Today my wife found out that the Kenyan Governments' Department of Land & Preservation will hear her case on property that her family has in Kenya, Kenyan law states that every 10 years any land owned by a family must be transferred to another family member, originally the land was owned by her grandfather until 1975 who turned it over to his daughter my wife's mother, etc, etc you get the idea now the land has a home built on it, the very home my wife grew up in until she became a student at The University of Penn in 2003, now the land & home must get deeded to the wife or the government seizes it as part of eminent domain. As of now the land is in her sister's name, has been since 2005, hopefully in 2025 we can put it our daughter's name. The problem is it takes about 2 weeks to get this done as no computers exist in gov't offices so EVERYTHING is done by hand. How she explained it to me is no deed exists as what they call them is "land titles", so you have to go to one office to get the "old" title take it one office to get a "new" title issued, then take that to another office 2 days later to have it revised than 4 days later get the "new" title, then take it to another office to get it stamped, then get it revised again, then a hearing is granted just to make sure the property is titled to an heir & not just some fly by night "family" member. The whole process takes about 2-3 weeks for something we can do in mere minutes, the power of technology "gotta love it". Now the conversation the misses & I had was in regards to her being out of the country for at least a month, as she's looking forward to seeing family & friends she hasn't seen in 5 years she also has a fear about the kids & I, which to me is highly understandable as even I have an understated fear. Now the very question she asked me was when is this "thing" you ordered scheduled to arrive? I say because I went for the NBD shipping option it should be September 18th or Monday the 21st at the latest, she then says to me her exact words were, "don't forget you have 2 school age children, don't get so wrapped up in your music that you forget to feed them, clothe them, get them to school".. in other words don't let them starve to death, don't let them run around like naked savages & don't let them get dumb I say to her the day my love for the Grateful Dead allows me to ignore my most precious gifts, divorce me, take the kids & RUN don't walk away from me, she said to me "that's all I have to hear". When was the last time anyone checked out 9/26/81? I think it's to revisit that one as it's a good one, a rather unusual set list, CHECK IT OUT!!!!! HAPPY MONDAY, DEADLAND!!!!!

Wissinoming, Rdevil, re 5/4/77

What a great show, Claney actually turned me on to it with his post here long ago extolling the virtues of that Comes A Time out of Playing. Love it. @Dennis Wilmont, I remember those days just as you described. I'm a few years younger than you, but remember as a kid in the 70's having lots of freedom to run around and play outside unsupervised in NYC. They called kids like us "latchkey kids" since we came home from school to empty homes due to our parents (or parent) still working and not there to supervise us. I remember going to the corner store on 11th street and Bleecker, buying a Spalding rubber ball, and playing stoop ball for hours with friends. They don't even have such neighborhood stores anymore, and no one would let their 8 yr old walk home alone, or play in the streets until dark. A different world indeed. @Deadheadbrewer, thanks for the info. Got to go now, wife says my bacon-wrapped ham cubes with melted butter are ready...

More on Now and Then....

Since it's been brought up twice now,,, I figure I'd pipe in.First time I went to New Hope was in 8th grade, this was 1970 just before we graduated. This is where the class trip was to. They let all the kids run wild around New Hope and of course the Now and Then shop was a big hit with 13 year olds (it still was hippie time) After letting us run wild we went to the Bucks County Playhouse and saw the play "Stop the World, I Want to Get Off",,, it was very good to this kid. I think back on this and think "they let us run wild",, the teachers wandered around by themselves and the kids just ran wild. I remember in 6th grade we had a class trip to NYC, and they let us run wild in Central Park. (that was about 68) But the let 11 year old kids loose! You see that woman had the cops called on her for letting her kids walk 3 blocks to the playground by themselves (heaven forbid) I think about being 6, leaving home at 8 in the morning and being told to be home for dinner at 5. The four kids in our group would be miles from home,,, hell we played in the swamps (they call them wetlands now :-) I guess it was just a different time!

8/9/95... Where was I when...

Wow... it's hard to believe that 20 years can go by so fast. That was an especially trying day for me. I was 25 and I was getting ready to relocate from Northern VA to Louisville, KY to attend law school (no jokes, please). I was in my hometown for a few days (in PA) so that I could see some friends and family before relocating to KY, since it would now be a much longer drive to go home than the 2.5 hr drive from DC. Late that morning, I was on the way to the hospital to see my grandpa, who'd suffered a pretty serious stroke about 6 weeks earlier (oddly enough, he had his stroke on the same day I saw my last GD show at RFK Stadium in June). It would be the last time I saw my grandpa alive, as I headed out to KY the next day or so, and he ended up dying in September as a result of the damage done by the stroke. As I was pulling into the parking lot of the hospital, I heard the news on the radio. It hit me like a sucker punch. Sure, we'd all seen Jerry's condition deteriorate over the years, but this was Jerry F'ing Garcia. He was larger than life, and I suppose that we all thought that he'd be fine and straighten himself out. I had to get it together though, as I had a more pressing concern in visiting with my grandpa (sorry, but if you knew my grandpa and what he meant to me as a kid growing up, you'd understand that statement completely). I went in and had a nice visit with my grandpa. He was still very fuzzy from the stroke, and communicating with him wasn't as easy as it used to be, but the connection was certainly still there. On some level, I suspected all the time that I was there that the visit could be the very last one I had with him. It was. And then I went home and spent the rest of the day and night having to hear over and over about Jerry's passing, and that just made things worse. All in all, it was a bittersweet day. Now, when someone mentions the death of Jerry Garcia, I relate it to the death of my grandfather. In some ways, I suppose that's a bit appropriate.

THANKSGIVING 1978

20 years shit! I had the pleasure of spending thanksgiving with Jerry at the Warwick hotel in i believe 78. Was at a Garcia band show the night before in NJ. Meet Donna Jean in the parking lot after show and she invited us up the next day. Went right in to front desk asked for Jerry's room the desk guy dial the phone spoke to someone and said go on up! What a great time Jerry was so animated that night showing us his art work, animation for the not yet released GD movie and a couple of his ties! Partied like rock "rock stars". Jerry had ashes and coke all over his black t shirt. Keith sat there like a mummy for 5 hours not saying a freaking thing!

About the Now and Then Shop....

Wissinoming.....get this....the Now and Then Shop in New Hope, PA...my folks live in New Hope and I found that store back in the mid-90's as well....back when bootlegged CDs were really the only way I could find to get decent sounding GD (although it was really hit or miss once you opened up the package). BUT, I found the same "Dead in Cornell", 3-CD set and still have it to this day. That was an awesome store that sold tons of music as well as infinite paraphernalia...pretty sure I bought my first piece there too. Small World, Many Heads. Peace and Rock On.

Chuckling doesn't make you a bad person…but your daughter is incredibly empathetic…you've done 'alright' with the child-rearing as evidenced by your daughter trying to share your pain…Michael Jackson was her Jerry.

life insurance

I sell home, auto, health, and life insurance, and the bad news for Dantian's wife is that his life insurance policy has an exclusion for sky diving. Slow death by bacon would be covered, however . . . Drove from Saint Paul to Milwaukee this weekend (with DP33) for the Brewers/Cardinals series with my Steal Your Brewers shirt on (there's a Brewers logo inside the face--wore my Steal your Cubs shirt Sunday-the Brewers shirt says "Steal Your Base"). On Saturday I happened to glance at the scoreboard while they were running fan messages, and I caught, "Jerry, we miss and love you". Amen.

with

7/5/15 set 2 ending with Playing In The Band reprise!!! then encores

DP 15

8/4/76 with separate DVD or Blu-Ray release later on in the year. Just a WILD guess, HAPPY THURSDAY DEADLAND!!!!!!!

jrf68

Good call. I had to laugh when I read it I was reminded of a show God knows when or where. They encore with Brokedown maybe even 2nd can't remember. We're leaving and someone says wait maybe they'll come back. I said no way they've played Breakdown that would be a good way to walk into the sunset

I hope...

..that surprises are a plenty...Trey covering Terrapin would be nice..let's hope!!

Twenty Years ago today...

Final show I saw- RFK 6/25/95.Oh and the first song is gonna be Passenger

Psssst!

Hey Dave! While everybody's distracted,drop the Swing for 15 or 16.Thanks ;)

Psssst

I think we need to take Dave out and get him good and liquored up.. grease the wheels and get some more righteous music flowing our way. Swing, yes please. Then how about a mini, off the radar RFK/Kezar '73 offering, and throw in a couple WOS as we get him to start nodding off. Good idea, jrf. There's some WV moonshine that floats around these parts that must have some Owsley magic left in it. Lets give him a highball glass of White Lightnin' and see what happens?

Awwww what the hell....

....I went with Viola Lee Blues. It goes to show, you don't ever know....

By the way....

....pay attention to the listening party. It changes every five days or so....

Openning/closing guesses

Golden RoadWe Bid You Goodnight Marty

Show opener . . .

Beat It On Down the Line, with a 50-beat opener, with a huge number on the big screen counting the beats from 1 up to 50 (for 50 years, get it?).

Jim, Jrf

Don't mean a thing, if we don't get that Swing. Count me in! Also would very gladly take Kezar, RFK, PNE, (dare I even say Curtis Hixon?) Really, any and all of the thus far criminally under-represented '73 is fine with me. Bring it on.

Solid Sound?

Anyone here going to be at the Wilco Solid Sound Festival in North Adams, MA? I'm most excited about seeing the Charles Lloyd Quartet, actually. Anyway, I'm volunteering at the festival as a "Green Team Leader" to help with recycling and composting. Should be pretty easy to find :) (Follow your nose to the compost bins ha har).

6/27 Opener

One More Saturday Nite>Bertha>Greatest Nancy said don't get crazy Ron you know what just to do. Enjoy the show all, damn I miss Jerry.

fair thee well

I have zero interest in thses shows of the box with it but see it like an over priced concert t-shirt. Something people will buy who go to see these shows. It will sell well at the shows but don't think hard core dead collectors will have that much interest. the big box seems like they avoided shows that might interfere with a future box or seminal dead release but though the variety of shows and eras will be my most listened to box.. i am not a huge 90s guy 69-85 but the spring boxes are growing on me to the point they are most listened to because of their sound quality variety of songs and are well played. All the other boxes have better shows but like europe 72 and the fillmore west but the sameness work against them.

Question re Santa Clara YouTube PPV

Thinking of purchasing the YouTube PPV tomorrow..anybody knows if you can only watch it live, or will Youtube keep it up a few days? Won't be home on time on Sunday, hoping I can catch it later. Thanks!

Re: Cousins

If you go to the Youtube Fare Thee Well sight, it says live stream and gives a countdown to when the stream will start. For the life of me, I can't imagine they would lock into a rigid timeslot like that though.. If your on the East Coast, it would be great to watch half and catch the second set the next day.. I'm hoping for a Help>Slip>Franks with a blazing Hornsby piano meltdown embedded somewhere in the transition or Franklins Jam.

Thx Jim

Also, I just called Youtube, the stream will be available for 24 hours after the event. Not a bad deal for $19.99. I'll have Shakedown St. in the kitchen, and gold circle seating on the couch :-)

My Wife's Prediction for first song...

...and she's not a Deadhead by the way but she has become very tolerant. Mason's Children I was sort of shocked she even knew that title of a song but then when I got to thinking about it that would be pretty special. We shall see. Enjoy the shows everyone!

Santa Clara webcast

According to the official page The MLB.com has a 30 day unlimited period of access to the rebroadcast and the youtube version seems like a 1 day event. With the MLB version you can go visit friends and rewatch it at their place.

Disappointed

So, now as fully expected, the video of the shows are for sale. The prices seem quite high. I'm not sure I would pay that much for three shows when Jerry was alive and playing. Like some of the other folks who posted, I would probably watch the video for free, but not interested in paying for it (at least right now). My biggest disappointment is in the all-or-nothing 30 trips sets. I would certainly be interested in say a five pack of my choice for $125 or something like that. But the full 30 and no split options except the "Best of", which is not for me. I'm fine with the offerings and prices for anyone who finds them fair. Sadly, for me I'm just disappointed.

Back to regularly scheduled previous trips programing

6/26/74 aka Dick's 12 - stare inducing GOGD at its best. Nada mas.

Listening party pt. 3

Goodies:)

Masons Great Grand Children

Dead Heads 8 to 88 will be in attendance tomorrow, Sunday and next weekend. My first live GD song was Masons Children over 45 years ago. My last live GD song was Liberty in Salt Lake City over 20 years ago. Both seem apropos for my journey through life.

This sound check is good.

This sound check is good. anyone else listening?

Yeah, I'm listening....

....the tracks sound great. I really didn't want SOTM to end....great stuff.

opening song

Jack straw , Stranger

Sound Check Set List from last night

Althea, Brown Eyed Women, Truckin, Uncle John's Band jam, [airplane noises, Bobby wants more monitor], UJB jam, Alligator x2, [security guard sunset aficionado], Cumberland Blues, Born Cross-eyed, Cream Puff War, St. Stephen>The Eleven>William Tell>Eleven>[dogs barking]>Lovelight, Space, Drums

"Name That Song" contest

Final tally: 73 entries, 32 different songs. 73 - hmmm. Wonder if that means anything?? Everyone have a blast tonight. Enjoy the music and hug somebody!

name that song

I ended up picking Viola Lee because I missed the 6:00 start time and figured Music Never Stopped was chosen by a lot. I wish I had thought about Unbroken Chain, though. I think that could be an amazing opener for tonight.

Dang you bolo24,, 73 ?

I would like to think that means you have a crispy soundboard recording of the Playing in the Band from 6.26.73,, that you will be sending out to all 73 entrants in the "Name That Song" contest ?? EDIT: it could also mean the Promised Land is the opener, same as 1973

First choice from the box set?

I pulled the trigger on the big box. My question is for those who also ordered, what will be the FIRST show you listen to? I think mine will be 10/12/84. Although I've had a copy for years, I really want to hear it remastered, and hopefully the Dew in its entirety. What say you?

first choice, either 69-70-72-81-89

not sure but those look pretty appetizing to me

Re: hed76

First, Congrats on scoring the box. I'm probably going to go in order.. but in all honesty, 10/12/84 has my attention. I, too, have had this forever.. and my MDew has an audience patch right when it starts to get good. The same thing with my William and Mary '73.. just when it gets heady, theres a tape flip/aud patch. I cant see them releasing without cleaning it up, can you? ..and I bet this takes months to get through all these shows in a meaningful manner.

Agreed Jim

I've heard a board of '84 Augusta that almost had a complete Dew, but I really hope they've got the complete show done. I'm also really looking forward to the Golden Gate park '75. Though I've got a copy of that too, the remastered version must be amazing. Such a unique sound for that year, and so few shows..

An option

for how to listen to Boxzilla is from the day you get it - ship is 9/18? - by date. 9/24/72 followed by GGP would be a fine way to start your listening experience, no? And, of course, you'll have both 9/18/74 & 9/18/87 from which to choose to close. Happy listening, y'all.

The 1st show on my "listening party"

Will be 10/27/79, I spent $758.08 JUST for that one, however you can be rest assured EVERY show chosen is worthy to be included in this box. Am I the only one surprised that this hasn't sold out yet, let's see what happens AFTER the FTW shows. There might be a "rush" to dead.net with credit/debit cards in hand. HAPPY SATURDAY, DEADLAND!!!!!!!

Sunday 6/28

Hey there - THis is a Loooonnnngggg shot but here goes: Would anyone that is already going to the Santa Clara show on Sunday who has (2) GA lawn seats like to trade for section 127 row 11 seats 17 & 18 tickets? These are directly behind the stage. I am trying to get with my friends who are all down on the lawn. shoot me a message if you could be my Miracle! -B

;-)

I'm gonna listen to the bonus disc first!

Almost showtime....

....and I must admit, I'm getting tingly. ...

first song

Is reportedly (I'm not streaming this one) Truckin'

3 minutes in

The boys may prove me to be an idiot over the next week, but halfway thru Truckin the live show seems a much better buy then the dvd, so many memories watching the show live , but I doubt I'll want to replay this later. Live is powerful though, combo of the now plus all those memories..

Cumberland Blues

Man, Trey and Bruce are having fun together. 1. Truckin 2. UJB 3. Alligator-> 4. Cumberland Blues

Go Trey!

Cream Puff War yeah!

SC

...Born Cross Eyed -> Cream Puff war

Viola!!!

They've settled into a nice groove... Right on....

Jam

Where's this jam from on the YouTube PPV?

Can't wait for Chi-town!

Wow, looks like a great setlist and show!Will have to wait till the 3rd Congrats mb for guessing Truckin. Either had to be that or PITB.I think PITB would have been the perfect opener, but truckin made more sense.

Second Set

Long set break. The break was longer than the first set, about 1 hour 20 minutes. EE into D. Star to start off. The theme thus far has been 60's songs for the most part. I'm wondering if they plan to have set lists progressively forward in time for the next four shows.

2nd set

Cryptical -> Dark Star Phil vocals a little on the rough side.
